When it asks for the offset just put a - before any number

In illustrator I generally just do an offset path and do maybe -1.5mm so I give myself a little bleeds. Takes about 15 seconds. Text is easy enough.

Exactly this, a roll cutter is designed to kiss cut but can do a flex cut. A flatbed is literally made for the application you need. That is the right tool for this job. And never being able to get a single barcode to read? A lot of this sounds like user error to me

Depends on how much you want to spend probably. That and how intuitive you want the software to be. There’s a few free ones like Inkscape you can probably try first

What cutter do you have?

One, this post is from 2019 Two, instead of complaining about being reprimanded for breaking the rules. Why not just get a merchant membership and sell to your hearts content? “not sure how to do this” - no, you know how to do it the right way, you just don’t want to pay.

and a hyphen

Yeah not something you can do, everything needs to be attached to a roll in the drawer. bonus of this is that you stop keeping all the dumb scrap bits you *might* be able to print on but never do lol as much as a good few members would need this, I’ve found the media I save from being able to...

Not anywhere near the summa just now but I’d definitely have a look at your overcut settings

And is it just me or is it not completing the cuts?

Have you tried turning the overcut up a bit? I’d test it in increments but it may help

We got a new laminator recently and if I load it really weird I can get within about 1.5mm tolerances over a whole roll. It is pretty dumb and probably only works on our model (haven’t tried it with our old one yet). should probably be similar to all your methods but I tape the new roll(s) of...

Yeah as far as I’m aware there’s not much to these machines. There’s the head, main board and forward and back motors with built in encoders as far as I’m aware. just a good chance if anything goes wrong it’ll be an expensive part lol

How much are the aftermarket inks saving you on this thing? Even with the right inks, the ink costs per unit are about £0.07 (UK) per mug. Our mugs start at £10 (get cheaper through bulk buying) but that’s still absolutely nothing compared to the finished price.

Have you looked at the cut file for that job? Are there excess points in the letters? One the blade depth is waaay too high. You should barely see any mark on the backing paper Two, that cut looks almost jaggy. Like the blade is moving a lot more than it should for simple curves.

I assume you’ve uninstalled/reinstalled everything software related?

Try the OEM Inks, if that sorts it, you have your issue. Remember you’ll need to run a few prints first for the ink already in the head to pass.

This, also +1 for space cowboy

Helpful to follow market trends. Before this we rarely ran any floor vinyls. Now we’re running 2-3 rolls a day. Can’t get away from the stuff lol

Pretty much exactly as above. Open the media manager (RL has to be closed). Export the profile(s) you want. worth noting you may be allowed to upgrade to rasterlink 6 for free.
