What Setting Do I Put My Cricut on to Cut Glow in the Dark Vinyl?

Glow in the dark vinyl is a great way to add a unique and eye-catching design to your projects. Whether you’re creating t-shirts for a special event or making signs for a party, glow in the dark vinyl can make your project stand out.

But if you’re using your Cricut machine to cut the vinyl, you need to know what setting to use.

The first step is to make sure that the glow in the dark vinyl is compatible with your Cricut machine. Most Cricut machines are designed to work with standard vinyl, but some can also work with specialty materials like glow in the dark vinyl. If you’re not sure, check the manual that came with your machine or contact Cricut customer service.

Once you have confirmed that your Cricut machine can handle glow in the dark vinyl, you need to select the right cutting setting. Most manufacturers of glow in the dark vinyl recommend using a medium speed and pressure setting on your Cricut machine. This will ensure that you get clean, precise cuts without damaging or tearing the material.

If you’re using adhesive backed glow in the dark vinyl, it’s important to make sure that you set your Cricut machine to “no cut” when cutting around areas where there are small details or intricate patterns. This will help prevent any of those tiny pieces from being cut away by accident.

It’s also important to remember that when cutting glow in the dark vinyl, it’s best to use a fresh blade. Dull blades can cause jagged edges which will be more visible when illuminated by light.

In conclusion, when using your Cricut machine to cut glow in the dark vinyl it is important to make sure it is compatible with your machine and then set it on a medium speed and pressure setting. For adhesive backed glow in the dark vinyl, be sure to set it on “no cut” when cutting around areas with small details and always use a fresh blade for best results.
