  4. T160 Problem

    We've had this cutter for a few months now and once set up has been great. Just lately we've had an issue where we set the pressure correctly then part way into the job it will increase the knife pressure so much it ruins the job. Like it would cut through the backing if we didn't have the...

    Didn't know where to post this as I don't know if this is a Flexi issue, Roland issue or Windows issue. I have had a Roland CX-500 for about 15 years, I cut a lot of small text vinyl, precisely .68" tall, tons and tons of it. Every so often over the last 10 years I run into this issue and...
  13. Question Is There a Clear Vinyl for Textile Use?

    I'm finding ImagePerfect IP6901 practically impossible to cut unless the design is large without small objects. Is there a clear textile vinyl available? If so, I could cut around the design rather than having to weed small objects. Cheers John
