    Machine stopped mid cut...

    sorry to hear that... I would try what Slice said above. Also since it stopped during cutting, and NOT on a dry run ---it may have some have trouble with static- is your area a dry climate, ( below 40%) humidity? When the blade touched down, it may have been static from the vinyl ( I know it may sound strange. Some run dryer sheets in the tube, wipe the vinyl down with them, add a ground cable from cutter to stand, run a grounded thin cable across the roll .... there are some other posts on static topic.

    Machine stopped mid cut...

    Thanks -others will chime in with that software, but I would try cutting simple shape files-- if it completes them, then: Try the serial cord if the plotter came with one. If so I would try that. - hopefully your computer ( or docking station) has a serial port. (if not check out keyspan adaptor). I understand you may not think its memory related...but memory is a common cause of your description - but worth a shot on the serial port. Serial typically allows a give and take relationship (CTS, RTS commands) for the file size. Or look at your file in wireframe- a trace may have loaded it up with tons of nodes- some software may allow you to reduce the number of points- thus make the file smaller ( I think).

    Hello, which machine and software are you using? Also - are you connected thru Serial or USB?

    MH-871 feed issues

    typically I used to reset the origin before the second job...that should do it. . - but your software may have another option-- what software are you running?

    I am not an expert, but here is a screenshot of filed trademarks -I see ten-- I don't see one that says "I just want to" by itself. Its a pretty generic term.

    Plotter suggestions wanted

    welcome, I see that the material is 7mil, and reflective can be demanding long term on machines.. I think you are correct to go the servo route. If these are for vehicles, long lengths etc in reflective- the certainly a used (checked) Graphtec FC or other similar Roland Camm-1 would be suited/ made for those jobs.. you want the long cuts to be clean, tracked well and closed.

    Lets talk about On-line Stores.

    I have had success with ecrater stores- limited layouts- but darn near free to use.

    Ai and photoshop help please

    Mark, that is actually a very nice trace for first round -- I looked at in CS6 and Omega...I would thermal print spot white and the tan color on clear for smaller decals. But for a large window, layered vinyl onsite would work best, or eco-solvent print. Primal I will run a sample for small ones if you are interested.

    Here you go - this would be a first trace of the numbers on the outline. - It could use some node editing. 26 First Trace.svg 26 First Trace.eps 26 First Trace.ai

    yes- nice angle-- If I have a chance tonight I can give it a shot-- - unless someone beats me to it. FYI Inkscape ( A free vector software download) would probably give good results, with minimal node cleanup.

    someone may be able to but the issue is the angle of the photo- it would be distorted... Also...there is a name of a vinyl and graphics company just above the number?

    VEVOR nightmare

    Boy, that really looks like an MH series cutter. You can try and download signblazer, ( links on this site) - and / or see if an MH series driver will run it. maybe someone else can chime in, who has experience.
