Recommended vinyl settings for cutting machines

While is always recommended to do a test cut before trying to cut a design if you've never used the variant before, It tends to be hard to track down a correct cut setting for your cutting machine. That is the reason we post these settings we have tried on our machines to help you address the worries. For your benefit, we will introduce each correct cut setting on Cricut Explore Air 2 ,Silhouette Cameo 3 and Cricut Joy.

  • Cricut Explore Air 2 

On Cricut Explore Air 2, we recommend regular vinyl setting and have the cut pressure set at 220 which can be used with all TeckWrap craft vinyls. 

  • Silhouette Cameo  3

 Choose type of material closest to the vinyl you will be using. This will get you to a good starting point. Here we choose vinyl, metallic. For blade type, we go for autoblade which will automatically adjust itself to the thickness you have set in the software. After that, we adjust blade at 1, speed at 4 and force at 15. It turned out this setting cuts our vinyl perfectly.

  • Cricut Joy

Insert your image in Design Space and head to make it.You will see a little box popping up on screen. Our material allows you to cut without mat, so you can simply click or tap without mat. Now you are going to select smart vinyl permanent with default pressure. Load your material when everything is settled.

Each cutting machine is different and teckwrap suggest as a general the settings below to be used when you want to make things easier and to get super clean cuts and intricate designs:

 

  • For teckwrap Glitter and Shimmer vinyl  - Heavy Cardstock 
  • All other variants of vinyl - Premium Outdoor Extra Pressure
  • Teckwrap Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)- Everyday Iron On 
  • Teckwrap Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) - HTV Glitter Iron On
