Abstract
A method for cutting a graphic into a graphic material is disclosed.

A method for cutting a graphic, comprising:
- automatically controlling a cutting device to cut a desired graphic shape into a graphic material;
- and
- automatically adjusting the cutting depth of the cutting device between at least a shallower cutting depth and a deeper cutting depth substantially contemporaneously with cutting the desired graphic shape into the material.
A method of cutting a graphic from an upper graphic material that is attached to an underlying carrier material, comprising:
- automatically controlling a cutting device to cut a desired graphic shape into the graphic material;
- automatically adjusting the cutting depth of the cutting device to cut through just the upper graphic material, but not cut into the underlying carrier material, around the outer perimeter of the graphic;
- and
- automatically adjusting the cutting depth of the cutting device to cut through both the upper graphic material and the underlying carrier around the perimeter of an internal void area of the graphic.
