Macon Innovations 228 Posted January 20, 2016 If I remember correctly there is a setting somewhere about reducing travel when cutting....It's a check box if I'm thinking correctly.....Don't hold me too it because I may be wrong.....Haven't used that in quite a while now. Or are you referring to your entire design to be cut is flipped vertical instead of horizontal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbang 0 Posted January 20, 2016 no its the direction only, this program has a mind of its own, very frustrating at times. ill see if i can find that check box, thank you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

busterbay 326 Posted January 20, 2016 That's most likely not the program causing your cutting issues, I would suspect it's your cutter. A common cause for what you are describing is static. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macon Innovations 228 Posted February 5, 2016 First off I would make sure your machine has enough memory to cut a span that long...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted February 5, 2016 I am brand new to this cutter and group, tell me please which way to place my design on the mat for a long sentence 116" and 5 inch high letters.thanks Let's just use logic here --- the width of the vinyl determines which orientation. You don't have vinyl that's 116" nor a cutter that handles 10-feet wide materials. Also, when you cut a 5" height design, that's going to result in 10' of DROP (scrap) from your roll. If possible, I would design this so the sentence is split in two rows, resulting in use of only around 5 feet of vinyl on 15" wide material. That way, you don't have a leftover 10-footer of drop.
