Adjust speed and pressure?

Post by hkvalerio »

Is it possible to adjust the speed and pressure settings on the Cricut while using SCAL2? I didn't think that it was but I've been noticing postings where people recommend doing so because of the intricate cuts. Maybe I'm missing something. I do know that you can adjust the blade on the actual machine but that's all I've been doing and sometimes my cuts won't cut thru extra thick cardstock. I've also noticed projects where people cut chipboard (or some time of thick material) and was wondering if there is a repeat feature or multi-cut feature with SCAL2. Thanks for your help!

Open your SCAL2 software, click Edit then Preferences. Under the General tab, it will have a box to set the speed of the cut.

The Multi Cut feature is under Cutter, then click Multi Cut and select the number of times you want it to cut through each item.

You can still adjust the speed and pressure on the Cricut itself as well.

Don't I feel silly? I just went into SCAL2 and saw all of the features right there. Thanks again for all of your help with what I should've been able to figure out myself.
