I need help with my weed!

Alright, new to plotters as most of you know and I don't know if this is normal, if mine is just cheap junk, or what.

Anyways, weeding is practically impossible on small stuff. The beginning and end of a cut never seems to perfectly line up so there's a "notch" that holds it on.

Therefore, any period or dot on an I is gone. No saving it. No hope.

At first I thought it was because I left the protective masking tape on the cut strip (n00b move #1), but now I think it might be something else. I've tried making my blade go deeper, force up, force down, speed is only set to 8 inches anyways so it's not the speed.

I'm having this problem on both Avery cast and Oracle 751.

Look at your offsets, set them to zero. On your machine and your production mgr....

If your speed is too high, it can cause them to miss.

And if your teflon strip is scarred up it can mess up intricate cuts as well.

Keep tweekin' with it, I'm sure you just need to fine tune your settings... :twocents
