A blade with a steeper angle. I never remember if it is 30 degree or 60 degree. I guess it all depends on how you measure it. I will also clean and spray my blade with WD-40 before cutting.

See if you can get your hands on a HP vinyl with a synthetic backing (clear plastic type film) the vinyl hold better to it than paper backed and its easier on the knife as you will really have to have a user error (way to much pressure) to cut thru it, also easier on the plotters cutting strip.  Most of the big suppliers have at least some their standard colours on synthetic backing

I was testing a unit yesterday and found that a faster speed pulled up the material less than the slower speeds.

What would be a good speed, pressure, blade for 1/4" font?  :P

I either pulling out the letters with the cutter or they don't cut clean.

There is no set setting to use, it depends on the material you are cutting. It may just take a little trial and error before you get it just right. Try many different speeds and force settings, and I would even suggest retracting the blade as well.
