I have a Roland SP540V on which I am attempting to cut rigid vinyl (14mil) for the first time. I would like to cut deep enough to be able to just manually pop out the final product after it's die-cut. I'm using a 45degree angle blade and have set the blade force to 300. Still not deep enough...

Let me make sure I understand what you're asking. You'd like to know how to create the red area on the outside of the large name so that you can cut it in vinyl or print it? I prefer Adobe Illustrator. Select path, offset path us pathfinder to expand to new size, then fill with red.
How about the print quality settings?
Does anyone use the quality print setting in VW. I found that the quality WAS better but it's too slow to run and uses more ink.
Trying to print a customers job on vinyl. We've tried running LG brand gloss calendered vinyl as well as cast in 54" & 30". The sign is actually just large block lettering that has a gradient fill ranging from dark to medium green tones - pretty simple, not alot of coverage. The customer...
