Beyond the basic and intermediate settings, the advanced settings provide more access and more control to Speed,
Pressure and Laser settings, as well as allow Cut Preview. Please note: material option will change to Custom on the screen
as material settings are manually changed.
This option controls how hard the blade presses through the material to be cut.
Pressure settings should be varied relative to the material being used. For example, paper, vinyl and vellum generally work
well at settings of 1 or 2. Cardstock works best at 2 to 4, depending on material. Decorative foil and light chipboard work
best between 5 and 6.
Also check your blade settings to ensure they are adjusted to the appropriate
material.
