When I am cutting unlaminated cast vinyl, the letters pull up in the corners as it is cutting. I've lowered the blade pressure (to 50) from the laminated stuff and I am using. Is it because I am using text with serifs? It is 2" text. The blade is newer, and I've had this problem with every...

Yep, same thing happens to me. Completely random, slightly irritating.

this would be after laminating. I put the crop marks on properly, but like an idiot I forgot to change the rip from print to cut. It started printing over the top of the old marks and then the printer gave me a crop mark errror when I tried to cut it. I ended up solving the problem by just...

has anyone tried using the manual crop mark detection? I have tried it a couple of times because of forgetting to change the rip to cut from print after laminating and it never seems to work. Any suggestions?

thanks for the help, I've been on vacation and just got back to read up. I've been using the technique you described (that you initially used) and it was usually missing the first crop mark. I'll try moving the carraige over to the right and see what happens. what are you using to clean...

My SP300V has started to not read crop marks after laminating. I can wait for it to reset and try to cut it again without changing anything and it works. I emailed Roland and they said to contact my tech guy. I'm sure others have had this problem and I'd like to fix it on myself if possible...

ok, that works pretty close to what I am looking for. however now the letters are connected, what I am looking for is to just put a cut path around the outside of the letters that are connected without actually making them blend together like the star and box in the tutorial. so, the star...

I have a line of text that has a stroke with 10 weight. When I add the stroke, the letters run together. When I add the cut line, the cutlines also overlap (of course). By screwing around on my own I was able to get them to blend (don't remember how), but I lost the stroke color and was only...

thanks, I think I am going to try top hinging and cutting it up and see how that flies. That's the tough part about getting going in this job, it seems like I always screw one thing up and do the other 99% perfect.

I did a semi-trailer for a customer and got 99% of it lined up great. However, I had one graphic that ran down as it went along (so it isn't level). Is there anyway to prevent this? The graphic was 6" high by about 80" long and was lettering. I usually use the center hinge method. I have to...

thanks, that much I can do. I guess my question is more along the line of how do you get the registration marks on it?

I've been doing vinyl part-time for a few months and have never had to layer two different types of vinyl as I have a SP-300V and been printing everything. How do you get the two layers aligned using crop marks? Do you put crop marks on your original design (I'm using CS2-Illy), or through...

Thank you Matt, I look forward to meeting you sometime. Where is your shop at? I drive through B-wood at least once a week.

doing a one color number/letter is easy, you just set the stroke to the cut/contour. But what if you want to add a second color (or third)? If you use another color for your stroke (and adjust the weight), how do you get the cut/contour around the outside? Do you have to use the pen tool and...

serious newbie question here...I have Adobe CS2, Roland SP300-V, and Versaworks. How do you do multiple color numbers and letters and still get the contour cut? Does the process change if you are cutting multiple colors compared to printing the different colors? It is probably something...
