We seem to be having trouble with the cut part of it. Weeding is very difficult.

When I talk to our technical service guy from Roland, he told me that the cutting "part" works almost the same as the GX-24, so I'm not so sure why you're having problems. A lot of forum members here likes the materials from imprntables.com.

I have no issues with cutting the shirt stuff. At first I did but put a new blade in and messed with the settings.. works good

not sure if your cutting shirt vinyl or sign vinyl.. but increasing the pressure should work.... umm I know i did read if you cut the colorprint.. print and cut shirt stuff.. its hard on blades.. At least that is what my distributer told me.

I use Colorprint II (purchased from Imprintables). Prints nice and weeds well. Just make sure you get the pressure correct.

start with 70 grams and perform a test cut. increase the pressure by 5 grams and keep testing in between until you get the proper cutting pressure. it is really a matter of how sharp your blade is and the type of material you are cutting. Hope this helps!
