Optimal Plotter Settings for Avery Super Cast 950 Opaque Craft Vinyl

• Blade Selection: A standard 45-degree blade works for most tasks. Use a 60-degree blade for thicker or intricate designs.
• Adjusting Cutting Force: Tailor the cutting force to the vinyl's thickness. Start low and increase as necessary. Always do a trial cut to find the perfect setting.
• Cutting Speed: Generally, a medium speed is effective. For detailed work, slow down to increase precision.
• Blade Offset: Begin with a 0.25mm offset. Adjust if the blade isn't cutting cleanly or is dragging.
• Overcut Setting: Apply a slight overcut for sharp corners and edges, particularly in detailed work.
• Trial Cuts: Always do a test cut before starting the main project to confirm the settings suit the vinyl type and plotter.

Note: Settings may vary based on plotter model and blade condition. Regular checks and adjustments are key for the best outcomes.
