You might be able to... but it would break the tip off your blade, then ruin your cutting strip, and probably honk up a bunch of the decals. These machines are designed to cut the vinyl and NOT the backing.
You should set the force to score the backing and not cut completely through. Experiment with settings to find the best one, but pay close attention to the machine while doing this. As stated earlier, you can damage the cutting strip if it goes through the material. It's probably not a good idea to even score the backing with your cutter, but it's better than going all the way through.

yea thats what i was thinking, where it would cut it just little on the backing then i could just "pop" the sticker out
Reserve this option for customers who request it and don't do it for all orders. Why shorten the life of your blade and cutting strip when you don't have to? Make it an option that has a small fee attached.
You do not want to cut through the backing paper this will distroy your cutting strip and will give you problems when trying to cut images. What the DC thermal printer do is a pounce/dotted cut! Some of the other summa cutters have a separate blade and cutting strip to do this. SignLab has cut out setting in there software that works with cutters that can have two different cutter settings.
