    Small text help needed

    Hello All, I purposely bought a Prismcut machine for the advertised ability to cut 2mm text. Thanks for the replies & suggestions. I have had success cutting my 3mm text with a few adjustments as follows. 1. Set the blade depth so low that I didn't think it would cut. It won't cut my finger & I can barely even feel it. 2. Slowed the speed way down to 50 compared to the factory setting of 400 3. Set the force at 15 vs the factory setting of 50 4. Last but especially not least & probably the most important thing I changed was the font. This has A LOT more to do with weeding than cutting, but, made all the difference in the world. Changing the font to a "stencil" like font is HUGE. Try weeding a perfectly cut 3mm capital A & leaving behind the little triangle. Remember that I am reverse weeding these 3mm letters for use as a stencil, so I am removing the actual letter & leaving the surrounding vinyl. How do you keep from accidentally weeding the little triangle in the capital A or the center of a capital O? You leave it attached to the remaining background like a stencil. I weed these tiny letters with a dental pick, a 3X optical visor, & it's NOT easy. @PM-Performance what are you doing differently than myself to cut that small at a speed of 400? Thanks again Rob

    Small text help needed

    Greetings, I am trying to cut 3mm text on my p20. The text comes out of the cutter half weeded & torn up. I am using Oracal 651 vinyl. I am trying to make electro engraving stencils that will be reverse weeded (removing the text & leaving the surrounding vinyl) Any help is much appreciated.
