Any low energy plastic will require a very high adhesive vinyl. When printing I used convex, not sure what plotter vinyl comes close to that.

if so you can install VM on both computers and only cut on the one that is activated - nice to have a design computer and remote, dedicated cutting computer just for the plotter that is not online - Little chance of corruption from viruses that way

when you move up again down the road - if your primary interest is contour cutting, the Rolands cannot be beat (I have never used a summa but many many others) - if you want fine detail the graphtecs are my choice -- - - Hopefully the titan will give you many good years of service

vinyl master hands down - and it is upgradable

If you save your files in .eps format it is interchangeable with most vector based software so you don't have to go thru the conversion again. if you upgrade your VM remember the discount here

first I would try another usb cable to rule that out - the titan2 has a great usb chipset so that usually isn't the problem - if trying a different usb doesn't work and it is new I would call support Monday

We will see you back after you discover that any credit card trick is about 10-20 times too much blade exposure -we deal with hundreds and hundreds of people that do this every year and come back saying they have bad cuts because of the too much blade exposure. the people helping on the forum have many years of experience -

Early on Marcus hired Ken Imes that was the face of uscutter, he acted at sales , tech support and repairs. Ken was running things all day and on the forum and support lines most of the nights and weekends. Back then, looking back, it was incredible for one person to be available so much. Jerry’s development of signblazer was way ahead of its time 9 years ago . . . Without Ken and Jerry I don’t think it would be near what it is today . . . Even with a couple of missteps like the ill fated 3D printer days and the attempt at being another fellers for wrap printers etc. . . The target market always was the beginner and supporting them as they grew. When i visited Redmond they was setting up a 48” heat press that sold forv50k. And shortly after ordered some expensive laser cutters that did not fit the target market well. Now they seem to have rethought that and got back to basics

Think you mean Marcus . . .

Like Darc said - you would have to call -they only show up here when they want to promote a new product

any word when you are opening back up for tourism?? how is everyone holding up down there?

I agree with skeeter - clean with alcohol first - never with anything with ammonia like windex and NEVER use clear tape when applying wet

What plotter and what software? If something like an me or redsail the course nature of their stepper motors can be fixed with over cut in many softwares if you have that option. Before you ask that is totally different from offset that should not be changed if you have good sharp corners. Many people also have easy too much blade exposure when starting out . . . Directions on blade exposure can be found in the instructional contributions section of the forum .

you might be running into the very limited memory on the mh series - were the words made from actual font or traced? tracing would add a lot of nodes we can't see - wildgoose is our illy and signcut person so will wait for him to get here to speak on the software end. I had to read it 3 times because you appear to be cutting and not printing - I had 3 roland solvent printers and that is an entire different area and way to do things . with the mh you may be limited to sending one at a time. other thing is to make sure you have the plotter grounded to the stand so static doesn't build up in the vinyl and discharge thru the carriage causing such issues . the plotter itself is grounded thru the plug but the stand on the mh is insulated from the plotter and requires a separate ground wire from the stand to the plotter to discharge any static build up

sorry to hear of the ailments but totally understand - after 3 drs 2 of them did several shots in lower back and no relief I really really understand where you are coming from. I did the shots without anesthesia so I didn't need to bother my kids to have a driver :/

best $49 you will ever spend https://www.findmyfont.com/download/download-pro-edition

you might call support next tuesday when they reopen (remember they are on pacific time and now close for lunch) - they almost never come on the forum unless it is to promote a new product

Skeeter - I know you watch this closer than I have - I only see flexistarter sold thru one retailer for $245 and one person on ebay selling it for $395 . . . any idea why the price went up so much on starter and why so few are selling it - heck even uscutter doesn't have starter anymore

seen many people forget to install that dongle driver - also seen many get illegal software, but not off US ebay - they have kept that pretty clean so guessing the sentinel driver was not installed

Not sure, I would just call it real expensive when it doesn’t go right.

We appreciate the feedback, not many out there and most of the old timers never touched one to know about the prism cut

I've owned everything from mh plotters, pcut, copam all the way up to several roland and graphtec plotters - today I still own a graphtec and always will. I worked my way up thru the others saving from sales until I could afford the next upgrade . . . .it was a learninng adventure

once the ioline is out - if you want to avoid chinese products - graphtec and mimaki are both japanese made

if someone with an eco solvent printer or latex printer was selling you wraps that were laminated for $50 a set they was seriously undercutting themselves. heck that is print and laminate for $3 sq ft
