I set mine at "Cutline Segment" 1.0 mm and "Spacing" 2.0 mm if it looks too messy at "Cutline Segment" 1.0 mm and "Spacing" 1.0 mm.

Some one did try first cutting out their outline ( untick the score line colour) then untick the outline colour , tick the score line colour set it to solid line cut and use the blue cap on a very low setting and that should score a nice thin folding line instead . unfortunately the thicker the card the more the perforations show, especially if the reverse side of the card is white Sometimes I just use an embossing tool to score by hand after cutting the outside outline if I want a really precise finish.

This is something I want to look at and the changing blades seems like the way to go on thin material, but I had a thought that if you need 3 or 4 cuts, as I have on some of my really thick holograpgic card, then I could use only one cut where the score lines are and 3 or 4 for the rest. I always cut my holographic face down, I never get a tear, apart from the tearing my hair out when I realise I forgot to mirror the shape before I cut.

Just a thought I'll try it this weekend and report back

If you look back through recent threads, there have been a number of discussions on various ways to do "alternative" scoring.
