Every year I do the graphics for a race bike that has some fairly significant curvature to the bodywork (no edges, just aerodynamics). Some of the sponsor logos are fairly large and I always have to spend a lot of time getting the vinyl completely flat. I always have some issues where the vinyl...

Update #2: I was suspicious of the tracking of the carriage on its rail in that I though it seemed loose (see the question of adjusting the carriage in my previous posts). The guy I bought this from cut some very thick stuff and I know he had the cutting force turned way up. I have some panels...

Yes. Clean cut sent a new spring and I installed it with their new blade.

Update: I cot a Clean Cut Blade and I was surprised at how much it helped. They recommended reducing the cutting force (I was at 14 cutting Oracal Intermediate vinyl), now cutting at 12 worked fine. The lines are much straighter and cleaner and I don't have as many Klingons, but it still isn't...

Thanks again guys, I've checked and it's definitely not set to pen. I have ordered a new CC blade (the new ones I bought were from unknown manufacturer. they may be fine but I need to eliminate all variables here) I've also ordered a new blade holder and cutting strip. For the cost of these...

I'm using the 1st condition to cut Oracal intermediate vinyl, I have the blade set to 09, offset to -3 (tried from +4 to -4), cut pressure is at 14, accel is set to 1 and speed is set to 30. I have the blue pen holder with a brand new 09 blade and new spring. I've been through everything I can...

Thanks guys. I checked the cutting strip and it seems smooth with no scratches or gouges. The blade is definitely secure and adjusted correctly. I even put a drop of oil on it where it pivots on the holder and it is pivoting very smoothly. I adjusted the offset all the way down to -4 and then...

Hi All, I recently bought a Graphtec CE 5000-60 from a guy who used it briefly to cut architectural vinyl (8mill and heaver). I replaced the blade and did a hard reset to get all the cutters parameters to factory default. I've been trying to cut some Oracal intermediate sign vinyl with the new...

I did zoom in and they are splines. now that said there are multiple splines in an object but their endpoints seem to be merged. If they aren't how tell if they are merged or how do I merge endpoints? Can two splines be merged to create one spline and simplify the control points?

Hi All. I just got a Graphtec 5000-60 and want to use it with Illustrator. I have an older version (CS3) and I installed the Cutting Master2 plugin from graphtec. I have things at least working if not perfect. After going through all the parameters and making sure that things are cutting...
