Hi,
My new cutter just arrived :) and it's my first one as well so probably will have a lot of questions to you ;)

for start just two:
1. what speed and PRS (pressure??) should I set up on cutter ??
2. I can manually adjust blade, could you please advise how much it should stick out from it's cover ??

thanks !

Hi there,
another silly question :)
can I use my Flex blade to cut paper?? or do I need different blade??
I would like to cut business cards so probably rather bit thick paper

You may kill your plotter doing this, they are not designed to cut card - also your blades won't last 2 minutes. Buy a cheap guillotine to cut your cards down.

I was thinking about cutting cards in unusual shapes :/
