Set the cutter to it's slowest setting, then once you get things cutting good you can step up the speed if you want although I've gotten to where I typically run mine pretty slow. I'm in no rush and would rather it cut good than fast. I also run only 60 degree blades. I know they say it's over kill for simple sign vinyl but the cost is minimal and it's just one less thing to mess with. The offset will vary from blade to blade. Typically blades from the same manufacturer and degree will have the same offset, but you'll want to pay attention when you change blades. The test cut from the control panel of the cutter is not affected by the offset in the software. You'll need to draw your own test image, a box works well, and do test cuts from the software. Once you get all that dialed in, if it's still not cutting the GreenStar stuff as well as you think it should, put some Oracal in and give it a try. You will be surprised how much nicer that stuff cuts. You may need to adjust your blade depth. The GreenStar is slightly thicker I've found.

haumana, if you look at the photo, you can see a utility knife on the tabletop. That provides a way to determine the relative size of this graphic (it's fairly small). Naturally, changing out the blade would be the first thing to try. Blades are difficult to verify if the tip is broken, they're almost microscopic to see. Just go ahead and put in a new blade, they're not very expensive, and are the basis of making good cuts.

yes thanks just needs to be a small engine like this... did not mean to say a "name"

It's hard to determine the size of what you're trying to cut based on your photo, so I it's hard for me to determine how small the details of you graphic actually are, or what the actual bad cut(s) look like. Depending on size and detail, you might want to change the blade to a 60-degree and/or slow the cut speed. A general rule of thumb is that the smaller or more intricate the detail, the slower you're going to want to cut it. Using a 60* blade helps. If you don't have one and are considering one, I would get a Clean Cut blades - I would even get a Clean Cut blade in 45* too.

I've cut gasket material on my laser but never on my plotter.

No, there are curves and cutouts around the posts as seen in the image. I should have said it's a gasket for an electronic device. The gasket goes to the edge of the case. Don't ask me what it is because he's trying to make me guess and I haven't figured it out yet! I have the SVG of the gasket and it is clean, I just offered to find out for him if it can be readily cut by machine.
