Graphtec FC8600 Vinyl Cutting Issues

Recommended Posts

I am a new user here, but buy my Oracal 651 from USCutters.  We use the plotter to cut vinyl, tint, and ppf.  Tint and ppf cuts perfectly fine, but sometimes I have an issue with vinyl.  Some decals come out perfect, but some have jagged sections.  The blade depth is adjusted properly for a 2.5 mil vinyl, I have the speed set to 20 (previously 30) and the force on 19/20 for vinyl.  The 45 degree blades are brand new from Graphtec along with a new holder.  I am using Illustrator CC and Graphtec Cutting Master 3.  The EPS files are perfect with no issues...sometimes the same decal will print perfect and sometimes jagged.  At this point I can't figure out the issue.  Please advise if anyone has an idea of the issue.  Thanks

looks almost like your blade isn't spinning freely in your holder or something.

Actually that seems to be the issue.  I had 2 holders I switched between were the older style that needed the spring on the blade.  I just tried the springless new style and the same decal cuts perfectly.  Thanks homie!
