Ideal Plotter Settings

1. Blade Type: Use a standard 45-degree blade. This angle is ideal for cutting through the polyester film without causing any tearing or rough edges.

2. Cutting Pressure: The cutting pressure should be adjusted based on the thickness of the film. Start with a medium pressure setting and perform a test cut. Increase or decrease the pressure accordingly to ensure a clean cut without damaging the film or the cutter's blade.

3. Cutting Speed: A moderate speed is recommended. If the speed is too fast, it might lead to inaccurate cuts, whereas too slow a speed can cause the blade to drag and potentially tear the film.

4. Test Cuts: Always perform test cuts before proceeding with the full project. This helps in determining the perfect pressure and speed settings for the specific film batch you are using.
