I have a graphtec CE500-60 that I purchased used (actually more used when I got it than what I was expecting, but that is a different story) I have "self taught" myself through making test cuts, etc. and NO MATTER what adjustments I make to the main settings i.e offset, force, speed, etc. I am not getting satisfactory cuts. I started my test cuts on 3 mil calendared vinyl (i don't know if this makes a difference) and have moved on to paper because I CANNOT cut completely through the vinyl regardless of the setting. I end up either with so much force I am ripping through the backing, etc. or not enough to even score all the way through the vinyl.
So....
are there any pointers, settings, etc. that may exist that I don't know about? If anyone has experience with this cutter and has a tip I will GREATLY appreciate any help you may have....
Thanks from a newbie
( I should add that i have new blades in the mail, and that I have messed with the blade depth on the blade holder but it doesn't matter how long the blade is if it doesn't have enough force to cut the media....I think it is going to be a manual setting/something with the cutter itself to fix the situation, but again, any ideas????)
