hotflex

HI

i have just taken delivery of my robo cutter
so apologies as no doubt i will be asking lots of questions now from all you ppl who have one lol
i will however search before asking but apologise again if i can't find the answer but it's already posted

anyway there is some hot flex sheets with it
what depth of cutter should i use?
1 side is shiny the other is dull
do i cut on the shiny or dull side? mirrored or normal?
and then which way do i press it?

do i need to put it thru the robo with a carrier sheet? or not?
also i have some sign vinyl here what about that because that has a paper backing

thanks steve

Thanks for that Mrs i thought i remembered seeing info somewhere but the title wasn't a help lol

i've done a little cut of some text just got to figure out how to cut round a shape now

well impressed so far
i did notice that the carrier sheet makes and if you back the cutter off a touch it doesn't always cut through the paper (i'm testing it on normal paper)

the flex do you have to use it with a carrier sheet?

no carrier sheet for flex or flock. but definytly yes for normal paper
