Default Ideal craft robo pro setting for shirt vinyl?

Hi I just wondered what other settings (force speed quality) people are using with their Robo Pro's?
I'm hoping to cut the brand "Xpres Vinyl" with it and I'm cutting vinyl pretty succesfully with my current settings (force 15, speed 30, quality 1) but I doubt theyre at their most optimum, any feedback would be great! Thanks again, Mark.

We use a little less force: 120gf (setting 12), and generally use 20cm/s, but 30 is fine, too, if it gives you the cuts you're looking for. Also, we use quality 2, but we've just never changed it from where it was set originally because we've gotten great results so far and can cut TINY little details.

We have a CE5000-60 24" plotter, but everything should translate to the CE5000-40 CR Pro.

Chani, thanks so much for your advice, and not just on this thread, your amazing back catalogue of posts about the Graphtec helped me decide to choose it and to set it up! You're a star!
