    Cutting outside of mat size used on computer.

    I just did a cut and I think it worked using the Origin button. It is not coming out of the cutter so I can read left to right. I have to cut the vinyl off and then flip the orientation once it is cut to be able to read. In other words it comes off the vinyl like this: X X X X X Not like this XXXXX Hopefully that makes sense. I will continue to experiment. Thank you for all of your help.

    Thank you for your help. I will just have to keep experimenting. I just tried cutting with the vinyl placed all the way to the left and used the Origin button and it seemed to work. I am going to try now with a smaller roll of vinyl and see what happens. Thank you again.

    So if I push the vinyl roll all the way to the left edge and put the cutting head about an inch into the vinyl on the right side and use that as the origin point will it stay cutting on the vinyl? Will the cutter head not attempt to cut past the origin point that I set?

    That is what I am having a hard time determining. I would think that the width would be how wide the vinyl is, not the length of how much vinyl is on the entire roll. I cannot tell if the mat on the computer is facing the correct way, but I do have the width set at only 14" and the width of the vinyl roll is actually 24" so I thought it should easily fit on there, but it still cuts off the edges of the vinyl.

    What do you mean by use the correct direction in cutting software? I attached another photo, a screen shot of something I am trying to cut. This particular mat size is set at 14" W x 30" H. I thought that should be enough space since my vinyl roll sits 24" wide on the cutter and length of the roll is long enough. Should I change the dimensions of the mat size?

    Trying to determine width and height to set mat size to it won't cut off the edges of the vinyl when I send to the cutter.

    Okay so do I need to move the cutting head at all or just keep it all the way to the right, push Origin and then send the design to the cutter?

    Apologies. I am using a US Cutter MH 721-MK2. I have attached photos of where the vinyl sits on the machine. So if I push the Origin button on the machine prior to cutting that should keep everything inside the mat size that I select on the computer program first? Thank you for your patience, I am still new to this, obviously.

    No, I have not adjusted anything on the machine other than the blade depth. I did notice that the vinyl was not lining up flush against the edge of the cutter though. There is like a stopper where the roll sits that won't allow me to push it any further to the left or right so the when I pull the vinyl through the cutting area, it sits an inch away from the edge of the front (where the control panel is) and 3 inches from the back of the cutter. The cutting head seems to always start at the farthest right, pushing up against that small red button on the inside. I can post pictures if that would be any help.
  11. Hi everyone, I am using Sure Cuts A Lot 3 Pro and have customized my mat size but the cutter keeps cutting off the edges of the vinyl when I send it to the cutter. I have tried changing the orientation of the mat (horizontal and vertical). On the computer it shows as everything fitting inside the mat, but cuts off parts of my words. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not cutting design, just cutting words for our store to direct people to a change machine, vending, etc. Letters cut clean, just off edges sometimes.
