Changing cut pressure during a print n cut?

Post by CrossHairSB »

Hi,
I'd like to perform a "repeat" of a cut but with more pressure. Since my registration marks are already picked up. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Best,
Ken

It is in SCAL6, which I believe you posted that you are using. You'll notice that in the Style Panel Cut Line Type menu, there's an option called Score. This option allows you to set a different cutting Force (called Score Force) to be used compared to the other Cut Force option. Thus, for example, if I'm cutting a difficult material, I will make a copy of the shape and paste in place so that it is perfectly aligned with the first. Then I will assign one of those shapes to Score and leave the other at Cut or (Print+Cut) Cut Only, as the case may be.

Note that layers assigned to Score will not print, so no need to worry there. They also will always cut first, so in your case, make sure that when you assign the two force settings in the Cut Settings window, set the lower number as the Score Force.

If you have any problems, post back. I can make a quick video if needed.
