j4str 9 Posted October 27, 2012 When i first got my machine, i absolotly could not get it to cut large vinyl. It was like the rollers were to far apart and in between the rollers would get a big air bubble and when the cutter hit that air bubble, a hellish fury would ensure and the vinyl would start getting ripped and torn. Ever since then i started using 6" and 12" vinyl and havn't had a bit of trouble. Now that i have more experience, i want to try some 24" again and i was hoping for some tips. Maybe i just had my rollers too far apart orignally? When i tried 24", i had the two outside rollers all the way on the outside edge and one in the center. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And make sure you vinyl is tight, and pinch rollers are tight. I have a 30" Graphtec and they only come with 2 pinch rollers.,,, and never a problem. But If you still want to use that 3rd pinch roller, make sure it is over the bottom grit roller correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j4str 9 Posted October 27, 2012 Do you put them right at the end? anyone else have anything to add? Does everyone only use 2 rollers? Why does it come with 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put mine about 3/4-1" even in on both sides of vinyl. This is on my Graphtec with only 2 pinch rollers... I have a Seiki cutter.also,,, which has 3 pinch rollers. I only used 2 pinch rollers on it also. I parked the other to the far left out of the way. Worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j4str 9 Posted October 27, 2012 sweet. I think it should work. I don't see why it wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j4str 9 Posted October 30, 2012 got it cut. 2 rollers worked perfectly. Why they give you three is beyond me. They should tell you that the third one is just a waste of space. 24" zombie squad decal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
