your not giving enough info, so how are your test cuts? are they sharp? Have you adjusted your blade offset so that it is cutting good? Tried slowing your cutter down? less blade? a drop of oil in the blade holder? blade spinning freely? No vinyl in the blade holder? Carriage head wheels firmly in the track?

yes, it is probably the offset, but your not even stating what cutting software you are using.. Signblazer? Signcut? Flexi? what?

sorry flexi 8.5

ok in Flexi 8.5 enter something on your main layout. just a letter will work. > click File> cut. Go to the upper left corner where it says PROPERTIES, and click it. You get default job properties page. At the top click on the picture that looks like a blade go half way down and set your blade offset, it is in inches. Click apply ok.

you can keep adjusting it to get sharp corners. Just do some test cuts using your vinyl cutter on some scrap vinyl.

All I use is Flexi, ;D you can adjust the .02 go one way and see if it gets worse, then go the other way. make sure your blade is barely showing,out of the blade holder.

I don't know what you are calling the compensation value. PLease explain

Are you sure you are using the correct driver for your machine when you did your set up in Flexi?

the compensation function sorry

the right angle is not cut correctly,

in the manual it says

if the right angle is not cut correctly

please use angle sharp compensation function

then it says too select the

high precision output

i have had this plotter from new 4 years ago

and never had a problem untill now SORRY

Are you referring to FlexiSign Pro 8.5? I do not have it. I only have Flexistarter8.5, So I don't have all the functions of FlexiPro. On the main layout screen, at the top of the screen. Is there a HELP? If so click there. Cause I can't help you with that.
