Two types of cut in the same job

[ElKris]

Hi,

We have a GCC Export II LX 24" which we just bought. We print vinyl on a UV printer and we want to contour cut i.e. the stickers on the plotter.

My question is: Is it possible to kiss cut the stickers and then when they are cut have the machine automatically run a die cut around 10 stickers in SCAL? Because I can't get it to work with the software that came with the plotter.

If yes, what version og SCAL should I purchase?

You'll need to test the 15 day trial version of SCAL5 Pro to make sure it works exactly as you need before purchasing. But if I were to do this on the Skycut cutters that I support, there would be no issue because the software has Cut by Layer capability. So, I would either have a different force set up for the outside cut layer or I would have it pause for a tool changeout. I assume you're able to do this outside cut without it damaging the cutting strip beneath? Or perhaps you're using a cutting mat?

Anyhow, here's a link to download the 15 day trial version:

And then Cut by Layer is covered in Section 8.06.7 in this manual:

Post if you have any questions!

Hi Sandy,

Thank you for your swift reply. I will test out the SCAL 5 Pro tomorrow and see if I can get it to work.

I will report back so it can help others.

Is it working successfully? Any questions?
