    About to lose my mind

    For the record, if anyone comes into this forum for a similar problem in the future, I took the image and retraced it in AI, imported it into SCAL and it printed perfectly on my Apple computer.

    Well I appreciate the wealth of help this thread has been.

    Quite honestly I'm not sure how that makes sense. SCAL is compatible with Mac and contains the drivers for this cutter. Plus everything I've done until today has worked perfectly.

    Well MOST of my projects and cuts turn out ok except for the few random ones like this that waste my time and money. So basically, I should either shell out more money because this company doesn't support half of computer users (almost all of which use Macs to do graphic work), just keep cutting the design until it comes out correctly, or go through the complete hassle of designing everything on my mac, then transferring any and all design to cut onto a PC where I would actually send the designs to the cutter?

    Not sure if this is any sort of improvement... http://imgur.com/0Kib3Pl

    Not to mention the name Greyson was printed backwards. I would believe it's all my software if all of these images didn't print perfectly the first time yesterday.

    About to lose my mind

    I have a MH365-MK2 and SCAL3P that has worked perfectly until today when I need to get work done. I am using this to print out vinyl decals. Now when I am sending the files from SCAL to my cutter, instead of being arranged across the width of the cutter, my designs are getting cut pretty much anywhere the cutter feels like cutting them. Is cutting images twice, cutting half an image one way, then 90º another direction, and cutting some of a design in one place, then scrolling down my vinyl roll to cut the rest of it. I have wasted over 2' of vinyl this morning and am about to chuck this thing out the window. I am running OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite), SCAL3P 3.070. I've added a picture of what I sent to the cutter vs what actually being cut. It seems like 2 of the circles are oriented correctly and maybe the two small semicircles south of the dragon, but the rest of the dragons are oriented 90º the opposite way. My process for this is that I import it into SCAL (cmnd+shift+i), resize it using the tool on the right, then hold down shift and rotate the image 90º to (theoretically) save space when cutting vinyl. I'm just at a loss for words with the bow and arrow. How half of it is done almost correctly below the dragon and the other half is way on the other side of the vinyl is beyond me. And to finish it off, when this is done cutting, the blade and roll does not revert to origin point. Please help before I recreate that scene from Office Space. TIA!
