MK Creations 1 Posted October 3, 2014 I can't seem to get the blade right for cutting Glitter HTV. I have a Graphtec ce-6000 and I use Graphtec studio. I have tons of experience cutting it with the Cameo, but not with the Graphtec. Anyone know what the setting are? I am having a horrible time seeing where it cut at all. Very hard to weed!

mfatty500 455 Posted October 4, 2014 All depends on your blade settings and force I use a 60* blade, force about 14-16, and speed about 10-15, depending on what I'm cutting, as far as text versus detail designs. Are you using the 09 blade?(blue tip blade holder). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK Creations 1 Posted October 4, 2014 Yes, blue tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted October 4, 2014 glitter is just miserable to weed period . . . hard to see lines - so I usually just start weeding the outside and work my way in slowly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK Creations 1 Posted October 4, 2014 I cut regular HTV on 10 depth. I cut glitter HTV on 20, and it didn't cut though it. I tried 28 and it cuts it, but I can not see any weed lines at all. I end up losing half the word trying to weed it. So, I tried 30, it cut up the black strip a little bitty bit on my cutter, but it didn't cut through the backing, which I didn't want it to do either. I can't find it's happy medium. But, if I adjust the actual blade in the holder, I am afraid it will cut everything else too deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK Creations 1 Posted October 4, 2014 It is horrible no matter what, but I couldn't even bend it and see the lines but when I went ahead a pulled it away, it was cleanly cut though. I have 20/20 vision too. LOL I think I may be used to that Cameo I had. It made a rough line and I could see it real good. I will play around with some now and see what I can come up with.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted October 4, 2014 that is one benefit of having an old cutter that doesn't cut so cleanly - easier to see those line LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 455 Posted October 5, 2014 Are you using a 60* blade? Are you cutting on the dull side of the vinyl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djque 246 Posted October 5, 2014 I have 3 blade holders and 1 for regular Htv/sign vinyl and 1 for flock ,glitter and halogram and 1 for sticky flock material. The one for flock and glitter I set the blade so it makes a outline of the cut when its finished but it don't cut thru the carrier. that way I know it cut and it weeds easy. I use a 60* cleancut blade on everything I cut. my settings are. speed 10 pressure 20 blade angle offset 45 offset 0 passes 2 Cuts perfect all the time. I like to see the outlines in all cut projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
