  1. Edit Onyx .xml cut files or export as .xml from EnRoute

    I'm having an issue with Onyx creating unwanted lines in my cut files. I've spoken with Onyx and they said it's a known bug that just happens sometimes if a cut line extends past the artboard when it's created in illustrator. Due to the complexity and size of this job and the number of times I'm...
  2. Graphtec 8600-160 is stretching my cut file

    Using Cutting Master 5. Horizontally, the cutting is fine, but the machine is stretching the cut file vertically. The very bottom cuts line up perfectly, and it skews gradually as it goes up. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this? I just recently installed CM5 when CM4 stopped...
  3. Mutoh Valuecut Double Lines When Contour Cutting

    I'm fairly new to this machine, so I've been googling a lot of stuff to learn it. Have the basics down, and everything is fine when I just do a standard cut, but when I do a contour cut, I get double lines. I've already checked to make sure that it's set to single pass, which it is, but it cuts...

  6. Cut vinyl

    Happy Friday, I'm starting an online marking campaign and assume I'll get a lot of requests for cut vinyl which is something I do currently not do a lot of and when I do I outsource it. I'm not sure if the margins are there. But if I'm going to get a lot of requests I might as well. What width...
  7. Need Help Laminating vinyl

    How often do you laminate vinyl, whether it's printed or not? While laminating stuff like vehicle graphics will increase life, I've beed told the not laminating will also allow you to sell the job again in 5 years.

    Hi!
  12. Need Help for Mimaki CG-130FX

    I have Mimaki CG-130FX with FineCut 8. I'm using CorelDraw X4 for cutting vinyl or drawing map. When I cut some my job, it always cuts little short. For example, when I sent 24"x96" square, it actually cut around 23.75"x95". Does anyone have any idea why it happened? Thank you for your help! Kevin
