    Vinyl tracking

    Originally I was doing a 24"x45" flag decal for a side window.

    Vinyl tracking

    Long story short- I sent a MH721 back because it continued to stop mid job, paid the upgrade difference and got a SC2 28 inch. I have ran 2 jobs on it so far, 1st one straight out of the box was a 24x42 inch American flag, ran it twice came out perfect. Fast forward a couple of days, I haven't touched the cutter since the last cut. Ran same file, midway through tracking got way off, ruined a large piece of vinyl. Can't afford to mess anymore up. Cut that piece off and just tracked another job, samething happened few inches in, it pulled way left. I haven't touched the pinch rollers or anything. Anyone got any suggestions?

    No the word I am cutting is only 16" long. I've just got to cut of 200 of them. I'm going to cut 25 at a time.

    24 x 45, its the same file I was running to begin with. I did move the outside pinch rollers in about a inch or so like you suggested.

    Well I have ran the same file twice now and no crazy tracking problems...fingers crossed the issue will not pop back up. I've got 100 doubled side signs that a guy needs one word changed on, so I'm going to try and run 50 at a time.

    I pre-ran the material again this morning way past the job length and it went to the left again. I started with the other end of the vinyl and it tracked just fine, so I really don't know. I am going to make up some type of tracking guides to help me in the future.

    Thanks for the info, I'll try the blade information in the morning. I am running it at a speed of 100, and 115 pressure. Can't figure out how to make it any slower.

    I appreciate everyone replying and lending a hand.
  10. I just bought an MH-721 with vinylmaster software. I am trying to get used to the software, I had been using Scan and Cut software. Here is my question, it may or may not be able to be done in this software I don't know. I am trying to make a couple of decals for my son's Toyota 4Runner rear quarter panel windows. I have the outline of the window sized to scale in the software. I want to cut out the American flag is the shape of the window. I have both files in one documents with the flag stretched to fit the window with some over hang. What I am hoping to get done is to combine the 2 design so that the flag is the same shape of the window then I can cut it that way, instead of cutting a larger piece and trimming. I hope I made my intentions clear and someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

    I'm going the INscape way, never really messed with it. And I don't want to ask for a step by step lesson on the forum. Do you know of a video I can watch that shows me how to make a design like the one I attached? I am trying to "inlay" something into an American flag but have the flag go around it. I don't know what the term is called to search it. Thanks in advance...

    Guess I am wasting my time trying to cut it to form? Looks like you just cut it full length and cut it to size. Which is what I am probably going to do, did you have a template to cut from?

    Happen to have a link for Signblazer? Everything I have found the link is dead.

    Looks like my version of VM doesn't have this option.
