CE 5000 Cutting Issue

Are you using a certain type of rip program to print AND cut? I have read that some rip programs change the size of the image and thats why your contours could be off. There have actually been quite a fex topics on this the last couple weeks. Sorry I cant help much more than that.

 

make sure you put your sheet in the cutter the right side in.... you could be feeding the wrong side in...

Could be an offset problem too.

 

Of all the things that could be the problem, offset is not one of them.

Exactly how are the prints being registered? Manually via bomb sight? Full auto from the software? Manually using the plotter's auto registration tackle?

 

So you're doing full automatic? Some questions in no particular order: What software? What size are the prints? Do you have any superfluous specifications for the cut like weed boxes, margins, etc? Is the plotter set to use the same type registration mark as you're printing? As in type 1 or type 2? Does it do this all the time or just this job?

A 1/2 inch off is a mile off. That being the case it's most likely not some adjustment somewhere. It's something else. When you find it it will be a real forehead slapper.
