cutting

We're contour cutting digitally printed graphics and it seems the corners of letters aren't cutting or the cut is stopping just slightly too short. Any thoughts? Is there a setting to over cut slightly at the end of each letter make sure it completes the cut around the letter entirely? I just...

Hi Folks, I have a CJV30-160 printing all day every day, and I have been cutting small detailed stickers on it as well. We now have too much work to tie up the printer doing cutting so we have bought a CG160-FXII plotter to do the cutting, thus freeing the CJV30 to just print. My question is...

I have a Colex Flatbed cutter. It isnt acting right. I have a cut file for the part that I am cutting, but when I go to cut it cuts lines that arent even on the cut file and cuts almost wherever it wants. Has anyone experianced this before or have any ideas? I am very new to this machine...

I used to have a Summa DC3 printer - we do not use it anymore. I made a bunch of window decals for a customer using the orange ribbon - and now they are wanting more! I can't achieve the bright orange color on my inkjet. I tried to have someone else print them for me, but they won't cut some of...

Hi Having had a number of users complain of poor cutting accuracy with Latex the resolution nearly always seems to be correct media selection. Assuming the cutter is calibrated and the printer has a good profile with minimal heat, swapping between vinyls has a huge effect on contour cutting...

I have a Roland SP540V on which I am attempting to cut rigid vinyl (14mil) for the first time. I would like to cut deep enough to be able to just manually pop out the final product after it's die-cut. I'm using a 45degree angle blade and have set the blade force to 300. Still not deep enough...

I am using SignGo V.1.12 with a Desay Master XY 300 Cutter/Plotter. When doing cuts, it sometimes goes nuts. Example I had a cutout that was 5" x 60". First cut went perfect. The second cut went half way and then the roller stopped turning and the cutting head went straight across the vinyl...

Hey Guys, I'm expanding my sign shop and want to be able to cut metal and wood lettering out of 4x8 sheets. I've searched for similar threads but I don't know what the machines are called so I can't search effectively. I would like a flatbed type machine that can cut a variety of materials...

Hi, i'm new to this forum, i'm Sven Maat a young signmaker from The Netherlands. We are expanding our business by making motocross decals and we are printing with our Roland SP540i and bought a new cutter the Summa S75T. But, at this moment we are struggling with the cutting. The knife hits...

Hi all, currently having some issues with our VS-640. Doing some truck lettering and some of the letters aren't fully cut, mostly things like a G or R, letters that are a little more "complex" than say an L or an O. Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when I check off "Cut Image...

I seem to be having a time of it creating borders to cut and I could use some advice. Flexi has an Advanced Border Tool that has a group of premade borders but they are not always the shape I need especially if it's a simple rectangle with rounded corners that I can specify the corner radius. If...

My company primarily prints on canvas but have gotten some requests for vehicle decals. I have a logo that I need to make some cut marks on and could really use some help. I have adobe creative suites and am average at best. The logo is a circle that needs a small, clear layer around...

Hi there, we have just updated all the Computers to MAC OS X Lion, we only have one Windows 7 Laptop left. Once the OS X Lion version of Cutting Master 2 was out, we install it for using it on Illustrator, we can cut and the program works great but it doesn't auto-measure the material. At...

I have no idea what is wrong. I spent all today on the phone with graphtec and Hp and no luck. I print using an hp l25500 and then cut it with a Graphtec Fc8000-160. The cut on the left and right side of the material is correct and the center is off. I tried adjusting the pressure of the...

Sometimes when I only cutting (not printing and cutting) the knife suddenly starts to make straight lines in every direction. For example yesterday I was cutting some letters, the first 2 letters were fine and then the knife started to make lines. I think that when media moves backward and...

I have a Graphtec 8000 and am having trouble getting it to complete an entire project. I set the knife pressure with and then begin cutting and it starts fine, but after a couple feet of material the blade no longer is cutting through the vinyl. The blade is new too. Any suggestions??

I'm cutting text no smaller than 3/4" letters on 3M HP vinyl with a Gerber EnVision ripped from Flexi and I keep getting 'barbs' (partial, jagged, etc.) on the O's, A's, S's, B's, P's, etc. The O's look the worst. I guess the start and end cuts are going off track? Not quite sure. I've...

Okay I'm all out of ideas here. My plotter no longer wants to cut correctly. When cutting any letter with a curve for some reason it is unable to find the start point to complete the cut. It is generally 1mm off mark left to right. I stress the left to right because if it was as simple a fix...
