Question: How should I define or link my objects in EasySign to obtain certain plotter behaviours ? Answer: Related to the chosen line type, another plot output should be accomplished. Basically, my EasySign layout will contain a variety of vector outputs based on corresponding line type settings Line type 1 : vector paths = normal cutting Line type 2 : vector paths = print & cutLine type 3 : vector paths = pouncing Line type 4 : vector paths = cut through
What to do? Convert your line types : Normal Print & Cut Pounce Cut through
Example: 2 line typesLine 1 : Contour line Line 2 : Cut through line Cut through line contour-path
Edit - plot settings 1. Cut through parameters → cut through lines
2. Standard plot parameters → print and cut lines • Automatic sorting your line types + minimal vinyl movement • First: normal linesSecond: print & cut linesThird: pounce linesFourth: cut through lines
Due to this AUTOMATIC sorting workflow, only one alignment reading can combine multiple line typesNote: for Cut through reasons, it is better to have this dashing technique configured at the end of your vector generation> drop to ground failures of your stickers > minimal vinyl movement> speed reduction, higher force> jamming your knife tool during plotting exercises

Cut through design tips: reduce your speed, increase your force, use all pressure rollers, minimal vinyl movement, 0° orientation, knife depth = cut through depth, VS/ZF/AS menu = accept, easy cut through shapes (rectangles, circles, squares, …), NO multi-frame alignment systems advised (multi-segment), NO repeat mode recommend Drag knife settings:Contour lines: 110 g, 60 cm/sCut through lines: 250 g, 10 cm/s SINGLE TOOL MODE cut through Vinyl Glue Silicon Paper
