I've been cutting with my Creation for over 20 years with NO issues. Love the damn machine. A few years ago I ordered a SC Plotter set up. It cut great, but when it hit the edge of the vinyl it would come off track. Usually when I'm there when its cutting I can stop it from doing to much damage. But I had left the room a few times while it went off track and I think this time it screwed something up. Now when I cut fonts, no matter what kind of font or vector with alot of angles, it will only cut some angles and not others. I saw another thread mentioning the cutting strip, but this is every letter it does this. Anybody run into this issue? It frustrating, but at least I got my old Creation to cut with until I fix the SC or replace it. Any information very much appreciated.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. But Beacon Graphics was the only place I could find that would ship to APO and take Paypal. Once again, Thank you SO much for helping me out

I've been buying vinyl off of Ebay for the past few years and it's been hit or miss. The last two rolls of white I bought were horrible. Could somebody point me in the direction of a good online shop that takes PayPal? Where do most of you buy your vinyl? Any help MUCH appreciated.

Made a couple today for my 7yo sons room. Now he wants a huge IronMan for his closet door, haha http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/3807/p1000354e.jpg[/img] http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9217/2010050614080000.jpg[/img]

We had a Nascar promo coming up and a VIP visitor on the way so we had to do something that will stand out from the other three stores near by. I had a couple of cars lined up to display, but they were local cars and just wouldn't look right for a Nascar display. So I went to DRMO and lukily found an old Chevy Impala Police cruiser that was in the process of being sold to the public. We snagged her for $25 and towed her down to the store. Took ALOT of elbow grease to get her cleaned up, and alot spare parts, paint, and vinyl. It turned out great and the VIP visitor and customers LOVED it. The car is now our store mascot, haha. http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8724/dsc0507aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9106/dsc0502aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8282/dsc0500aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6091/dsc0495aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9106/dsc0493aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/8030/dsc0478aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7594/dsc0476aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/4028/dsc0474aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6673/dsc0473aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6858/dsc0471aaaaa.jpg[/img] http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/247/dsc0468aaaaa.jpg[/img] Thanks for lookin

Thanks for the link. it helped alot.

I'll try when I get home and let you know. Thanks

I'm having the same problem. I recently moved into a new house. When I was packing I accidentally pinched the 9 prong connector wire, so I replaced it with one I bought from a computer store. I went to hook up everything at the new house and I'm getting the same message. Saying "could not install, no hardware found". I forgot the set up instructions, I remember it said to hook it up a certain way. I have both the USB to weird plug line hooked up and the 9 prong line hooked up. Sorry if I sound like a total noob, I'm not the greatest with computers and don't know the terminology. I've been using my CTN630 for about 3 years and love it, it worked great. Never had any problems until I moved to the new house. Any help MUCH appreciated

uscutter.com?

Cool, sounds like I'm going to give the 651 a try. Where is a good place to order from? Oracal? Is EBAY cheaper? I've seen Oracal 651 on there for sale. Thanks for helping me out

Thanks guys, sorry for the delay. Been to busy with work to play with the cutter. Now the wife is asking me to make all kinds of stuff for her girlfriends, so I'm once again addicted, haha. Haha Nah, "Konichiwa" is Good Afternoon" in Japanese. Great to meet you all. Chris TeamHinga.net

What vinyl would you recommend? Something a little thinner? Oracal 751 perhaps? I've been working with garbage and am looking for something easier to work with and last longer. I have Scotchlite 3M Reflective, it is a pain in the ass to cut, would the 60degree blade work better?

I got burned a few times with buying EBAY vinyl. either I don't recieve product or I get really crappy stuff. Last time I ordered 50 yards, I got Sinloihi vinyl. Extremely thin and rips like paper. I'm also cutting stickers for cars. Is the Oracal 651 pretty heavy duty? How long will it hold up for? Any information MUCH appreciated www.TeamHinga.net

Here are a few I've made for friends, nothing fancy like some of the amazing work I've seen here on the "Show your work" section. I've been using the pen attachment alot lately to draw pictures for my boys, I was wondering where I could buy refills or more pen attachments. Thank you Chris TeamHinga.net
