Measuring the Vinyl Cartridge Blade Depth

Measuring the Vinyl Cartridge Blade Depth

  • These instructions will show how to measure the blade depth of the Vinyl Cartridge.

  • Locate a small or scrap piece of the same type of vinyl that you will be cutting, and place it on a scrap of matboard.

  • Hold the cartridge level to the piece of vinyl and grasp the base of the cartridge where it would be inserted into the Head.

  • With medium grip (as if holding a pencil), drag the Vinyl cartridge over the edge of the scrap of vinyl.

  • Check the cut that was made. You want it to cut through the Vinyl, but not through the backing sheet.
