CJV30-130 Cutting issues. Consistently inconsistent

Hey my 2012 CJV30-130 has recently started having cutting issues. But it is consistently inconsistent. We are using Flexi Cloud. If I send a big shape and have it cut it out it will cut 99% perfect. If I send small text it will be off. If I send a big file maybe 4'x4' with a logo shape and text it will start out fine and then get off, by .25" or more. But it starts a little off then gets more and more so I cant set the offset in the printer because it isn't off by the same amount.

 

Ok, I definitely think and have thought this is along the right lines. It's like the pinch rollers have uneven pressure, but I am not sure exactly how to test this. I put small pieces of vinyl under the far edge rollers and tug on it a little and they are both tight. I did just go look at the lever area and don't specifically see anything I could say is wrong. A couple weeks ago we did try cleaning the little metal rollers on the bottom side as they looked like they had some build up but I am not sure the best way to do that. I know the pinch rollers are replace-able as well but I have gone down the rabbit hole of just throwing parts at a machine before and want to avoid it.

Yes for some stuff we just throw a heavy stroke around the outermost color very similar to this box method. Lately though the cutter is off enough that sometimes it actually affects leveling and layout. :-(

 

You guys rock! This is why I have been and will continue to be a long time customer for you! I bent that metal piece a little bit so it doesnt click past and the very next job cut perfectly!
