Saga SAGA-1350I User Manual - 7. After Cutting

7. After cutting

7.1. Weeding

Weeding refers to the process of removing the

parts of the media you do not require. We

recommend using a scalpel or a special weeding

tool for this job, to avoid damage to the adhesive

surface. After weeding, you can use a transfer

press to transfer flock and flex media to the textiles to be processed; 

apply application tape to self-adhesive media before transferring.

7.2. Applying

Apply application tape to the weeded material

and use a roller or flat scraper to press down

firmly. To apply adhesive to the transfer foil, 

remove the backing from the foil to leave the 

adhesive affixed to the application tape. You 

can now apply the adhesive to the required 

surface.

6.6. Cutting test

• Press the Test key to perform a cutting test. The cutting plotter will now cut a 

  square containing a triangle divided into four quadrants.

• The cutting test helps you verify the knife holder setting and cutting pressure. 

  The cutting test should give you clean and straight cuts in the loaded media; 

  there should be no damage to the backing.

• If the test cuts through the backing, either the cutting force is too high, or blade or

  knife holder setting is incorrect. Change these settings and repeat the cutting test.

• You will also need to change the settings, in case of imprecise or too shallow cuts.
