• Test Cut: Always perform a test cut to ensure settings are correct for the specific machine and material.
• Blade Sharpness: Ensure the blade is sharp and free from any debris for a clean cut.
• Mat Maintenance: Use a well-adhered cutting mat to prevent slipping or movement of the film during cutting.
• Post-Processing: Carefully weed the excess material and use transfer tape if necessary for application.

Remember, these settings are starting points, and fine-tuning may be required based on the specific conditions of your cutter and film batch.
