If the pinch rollers are locked down on a location that is not a feed roller, it can prevent smooth motion of vinyl through the machine. Some cutters have very specific feed roller locations and therefore have very specific pinch roller locations.
Material placed in the machine is controlled by the movement of the feed rollers translated through the pinch rollers locked down on top of them. Generally, starting around 300mm/s and then adjusting from there depending on the outcome is a good practice. If you are cutting smaller or more intricate objects then it is suggested to use slower speeds. If you are cutting large or blocky objects, you can use higher speeds. Speed depends more on the type of design you are cutting. Titan 2 and Titan 3 will operate in the 57g-60g for the same material. MH, SC, Laserpoint 2, and Titan will generally want to operate in the 80g-100g pressure range when cutting regular vinyl. While we do not have specific pressure settings for cutting specific material, there is a general range you can start with before using the test option to dial in the appropriate settings. The pressure controls how hard the carriage arm pushes the blade down onto the material, and the speed controls how fast the carriage and feed rollers move in unison to cut the design. You can use the arrow keys on your cutter to adjust the pressure/force and the cut speed. You want it to match the thickness of of the material you are cutting. Generally, you will not want your blade to be sticking out further from the blade holder than half the thickness of a credit card. A successful cut is a combination of blade length, pressure/force setting, cut speed, and the type of vinyl being cut. A successful cut means you can smoothly remove the excess parts of the vinyl, known as weeding.
Performing your cutter's first test cut will help you get used to the various settings involved before starting your personal projects. Some of the information in this article is also covered in these manuals.
