- Adjust the cutting force (up to 500 grams) based on material thickness. For instance:
- Thin materials (e.g., paper or standard vinyl): Lower force.
- Thicker materials (e.g., heat transfer film or reflective materials): Higher force.
- Set the cutting speed (up to 800 mm/s) depending on the project’s complexity.
b. Setting the Design:
- Open your design software and create or import your design.
- Ensure the design dimensions fit within the cutting area.
