OK I think I see what you mean about the rollers- I think I have them jsut arbitrarily placed and not aligned with the black on the bottom roller under the vinyl- hopefully that's the issue. Here's a similar problem to what i have: I think it is the rollers actually- because when I put the cutter into x/y adjustment mode and I just use the up/down to scroll the vinyl, it gets bunched up in the middle as I go back and forth and starts getting all screwed up to the point here i have to undo the pinch rollers and re-flatten out the vinyl.

It's standard vinyl- avery but I forget the exact type. It doesn't have any grooves but as with the MH871 I just line the rollers up about 1-1/2" to 2" off the edges and then float the center one wherever. I can't really upload an example since its white vinyl and hard to see- but basically when I cut out a word, the letters end up overlapping or not making complete shapes because the cut doesn't line back up with itself- if that makes sense? Blade height and pressure are set correctly- the first few shapes on each cut are fine and the further down the vinyl roll it goes, the more the alignment gets screwed up.

I just upgraded from an MH871 cutter to a Creation PCUT CT900- and I've cut now 4-5 things on it and all of them are having alignment issues. When I use the step-by-step cutting in SignCut it's slightly better but it still keeps squishing letters together and on longer cuts by the end things can get compacted like 1" over only like 3' of length. Serious issue I never had with my MH871. I upgraded because that one had bad grounding issues and just couldn't handle the load we were giving it. Now I'm concerned the PCUT is not enough?? Can I fix this? FYI I am using Mac OSX 10.5, SignCut, and have a keyserial thing to go from USB to serial (from USCutter). Any help appreciated!
