What type of cutter are you using? If you are using a GX 24 what are your settings? How is the peel and stretch factors after pressing?

Default Re: ThermoFlex Plus vs. ThermaCut

it all depends on the design,if it has fine detail i slow it to about 80-90 or if it simple i bump it up to around 140-160
