Graphtec Plotters: How To Set Force & Cutting Conditions for PPF

Getting your Graphtec plotter cutting conditions right is one of the most critical skills for any PPF or vinyl shop. Too much force and you cut through the liner, too little and the film doesn't cut cleanly, leading to wasted material and frustrating installs. In this tutorial, we walk through exactly how to dial in your Graphtec plotter settings — covering blade offset, cutting force, speed, and how to test cut to verify your settings before running a full job. Whether you're new to plotters or just switching to a different film brand with different liner thickness, this video will save you time and material.
