Although very similar, there are two types of knife depth settings, one for normal cutting and
one when FlexCut is used. What they have in common is that the knife is never turned out a
lot.

KNIFE DEPTH SETTING NORMAL CUTTING
For normal cutting, the knife is turned out just a little bit more than the actual cutting depth.
Turning out the knife much further results in unstable knife pressure and bad cut quality.

KNIFE DEPTH SETTING CUTTING THROUGH
When performing FlexCut the knife is turned out just enough to cut through the vinyl and
backing. The decision to let the knife holder rest on the media at full pressure depends on the
actual media you are using. If the media is prone to scratching, then make sure the bottom of
the knife holder does not touch the media when using full pressure. If not, it is recommended
to let the bottom of the knife holder touch the media at full pressure.
