As you are able to cut something I will assume you have installed the USB driver. You say the problem only occurs on larger jobs which suggests a comms problem. The computer sends the job to the plotter until the plotter memory is full and the plotter then starts the cut. When the plotter has cut this initial amount it then should signal to the computer that it has finished this and to send the rest, this is called handshaking. Your problem seems to be that the handshake is not happening. The comms settings on the plotter and in the cutting program, I'm assuming signblazer, need to be both correct and the same. You don't say which plotter it is but there should be information in http://www.uscuttersupport.com/setup which will help. Good Luck

Thanks again. I'll give that a try and I'll have a good look around uscutter.com for more help.

Thanks for the very quick reply. Do I vectorize in Inkscape and if so how? Sorry if it's obvious but that wasn't part of the tutorial.

I'm an absolute beginner in this but when you plot the design there is no blade offset to consider. When you cut it however there is blade offset which you will need to compensate for so this is where I would look for a solution.

Hi, I'm totally new to this and am currently working my way through the inkscape tutorials. The first 2, Swedish flag and Euro flag have gone fine and I can save them as .eps and import into signblazer ok. The third, Northern Pacific, looks fine in inkscape but when I try importing it into signblazer all I get is a black circle. Any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong? I have attached the .eps npacific2.eps
