Where is the carriage ending up at after the cut now? More info needed. Most people want the carriage to end up at the end of the cut design, so they can cut the design off from the rest of the roll... That operation is in the cutting software. "Advance after plot" or similar message to get there. Or not to "Advance after plot", either way it should be in your cutting software. You don't state which cutting software you are using.

I found this in a unit we are cleaning to sell. What is it?
MZ SKEETER replied to fatmike's topic in General discussion
It looks to be a Saga. Or rebranded Saga, Titan would be blue and sold by UScutter. It should have a model number plate on it. UScutter sells parts for it. And has a user manual for it. People seem to like them, If they are working correctly. ..Depending on model, some have servo motors. Turn the power on it and see if it says on the screen what it is.. You can purchase Vinyl Master cutting software for it. https://uscutter.com/TITAN-2-Vinyl-Cutter-28-53-68-inch/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8pKxBhD_ARIsAPrG45mALfiNF25H4lMLXl3RJJTch7u5PWWZrcIPjRMuE3nmoay3ED8Tps0aAmcBEALw_wcB https://www.aliexpress.com/i/3256801650397084.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt -
Which cutting software are you referring to? The cutting software with an activation code is only for the original buyer. It would be registered to the Original buyer and cannot be transferred. Signblazer is free abandonware, if you can find a link for it. It is older and many still use it, your CE7000 won't be on there, but many are using an older Graphtec 50 for newer Graphtecs set ups.. Or purchase Vinyl Master. https://www.graphtecamerica.com/software You "might" be able to get software here, after you register. https://www.graphtecamerica.com/register-gs2

Have you checked the youtube videos? The cutter is a rebranded Saga vinyl cutter.. From what I have read, people seem to like the Titan 2 and 3 vinyl cutters. And they say good quality cuts. Those 2 have servo motors. It all has to do with getting a correct set up of blade depth and force, just like any other vinyl cutter. As far as speed, personally I cut slow, no need to run fast. It's not a race. We have OPs come in here and complain about new Graphtecs and we pretty much have to steer them into setting their blade depth correctly. That is the first thing that you have to get correct. It is posted on this forum hundreds of times. You do not use a credit card or post it notes to set your blade depth. That is about 10 times too much blade exposed out of the blade holder. It is a myth that just won't die. Even USCutter still puts that in their instructions, it is wrong. It looks like Titans are on sale. As always, buy the best that you can afford. https://uscutter.com/TITAN-3-Vinyl-Cutter-ARMS-28-53-68-inch/

Quite the drive to Florida. Their Facebook current page has them located in West Virginia. A poster is even thanking Sissy. Dot come page is West Virginia.

No, you would need the Flexi software to export as a different file format. Tell your customer to contact the creator or you contact the creator and send them in a format that you can use. Most would export as an .eps. Which can be used in most softwares. You would probably not even know which version of Flexisign pro that they used. An older version of Flexisign Pro cannot open newer files, or only up to a certain version. My Flexi software (10) is older and cannot open newer Flexi files. A newer version can open current and older files. It looks like they are up to version 22 now.

Contour and perf cutting issues
MZ SKEETER replied to cyberkeith1's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
Making your software work with the vinyl cutter is a Vinyl Master or UScutter job. Are you using 1 blade holder for both processes or 2 different blade holders ,blades set individually for each process? The process I have read with the Graphtecs, is to use 2 different blade holders. 1 is set for the contour cutting. I is set up with blade extended further out of the blade holder for the perf cutting. They don't change the force, maybe just a little. Blade holders/blades are preset to cut, for each option. with the blade in them. Just change the blade holder/blade, for each process. That's all I can add. There are only a handful of forum members here that answer questions. None of them have a Titan 3 vinyl cutter. Maybe some one else can add something. -

Check Copam. Many of the old gang didn't want to learn new software. -
Contour and perf cutting issues
MZ SKEETER replied to cyberkeith1's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
I don't have a Titan or use Vinyl Master BUT are you using a cutting mat under your vinyl? You would have to, or you would be gouging up your teflon cutting strip, if you are cutting all the way thru the vinyl. Or are you not cutting all the way thru? .Plus dulling your blades very fast.. The newer Graphtecs have a dual place blade holder, and the perf cuts are done over a channel, so as not to harm the cutting strip. I didn't think a Titan 3 had that, or could perf cut. I may be wrong, but newer Graphtecs, and Summa can perf cut. Looking at that video of UScutter. Vinyl Master, it looks like they have PrismCut vinyl cutter loaded up in the software. It may perf cut. Ask UScutter if the Titan 3 can perf cut. I see several questions being asked in the forum about The Titan 3 cutting thru and perf cut, No one is saying that it can. -
Graphtec CE7000-60 Making Multiple Passes While Cutting
MZ SKEETER replied to Super Dave's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
Did you ever try a different cutting software other than Studio 2? That way you can figure out hardware or software problem. Signcut has a trial. Sure cuts a lot has a trial. -
Graphtec CE7000-60 Making Multiple Passes While Cutting
MZ SKEETER replied to Super Dave's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
Without seeing the cutter file and your settings in Graphtec Studio2, would have no idea, unless you have multiple passes checked in the cutting software. Very few volunteers here answer questions and very few have a Graphtec. And I don't know of anyone who has a Ce7000 or Graphtec Studio 2. Have you tried a different cutting software to rule out the Graphtec Studio 2 as the problem? Several trials out there. File could be posted as long as it is not a violation of Copyright.

Graphtech studio 2
MZ SKEETER replied to Mistybailey's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
You must show that you made a purchase of a newer Graphtec cutter it looks like. Fill out and register. I had never looked at the ad before, When I got the Graphtec Pro Studio, I had to register and they sent me the activation code in an email. https://www.graphtecamerica.com/register-gs2 If you got your cutter new, you should have gotten the Graphtec Pro Studio, which is over $1000 for windows, made by SAI (Flexi) -
Have you considered buying used? A Graphtec FC 8000-8600 or 9000 is better than any cutter you posted. Built like a tank. And has the channel in the front for perf cutting. Plus dual place for blade holder. Many times if you have the money, can be purchased cheaper than a new CE7000-60. The FC cutters have great tracking and more force than the CE units as well as the pinch rollers have adjustable pressure. I don't have a recommendation on your list. The CE7000 is just not preforming up to the standards of the Ce6000 and previous CE units. Is now made in a different country than before. I don't know anything about the others on your list.

Did you just buy a new cutter from UScutter and it came with cutting software? If so, check in your package for it. Or check your emails. If you can't find anything, then contact UScutter.

The TEST cut has to line up first, or much better than it is now.
