The key to getting great results with your Cricut is having the correct material pressure setting.
I recently received a PR package from TechWrap Craft Vinyl with quite a few rolls and sheets of their 001 M Series vinyl – which is their matte adhesive vinyl line.
Trying out new products is always fun. However, Cricut Design Space only has its branded products listed in your material settings. So, it’s important to check for the pressure setting suggested by the manufacturer and add that setting to your list of materials.
With the package of vinyl from TechWrap, I received a sheet telling their custom pressure setting recommendations according to the cutting machine you’re using.
If you don’t see a setting recommendation on your material, you can often find it located on the brand’s website like you can find here, on TechWrap’s page.
