The Graphtecs are so accurate at tracking, I have never lined my vinyl up to anything. Put your vinyl in and make sure the pinch rollers are the same distance from the edge of the vinyl. Put the pinch rollers down, and make sure the vinyl roll is tight, Pre feed and and cut.. It's too easy. The roller marks in the vinyl help guide it while cutting. It's not going to be like the value cutters.. Less fuss, and more cutting.
