Cutting Vellum

Cutting Vellum

Postby scrappinwithz » September 4th, 2011, 7:02 pm

Ok I need a little bit of help. I'm trying to cut vellum and I have my settings on v 55 f 58 and I'm not getting a good cut. This is a heavy weight vellum and I really need to get it cut. I know that it will be a hit and miss but what have some of you cut this on. Thanks for any help.

what is it doing that it is not cutting? What blade? Is your mat stick? What program?

I have cut regular vellum (the marbled white) on 70. There are so many different weights of vellum - how heavy is your vellum??!!??

Did you do a test cut? That saves me more times than not!
