haumana 1,220 Posted March 14, 2019 Umm ... they are trying to help, however, you also have to tell them what you're doing (or how you're doing it) so that they can provide additional assistance. Screen shots of your setup is very helpful. Don't worry, no one here is interested in whatever design you're working. If you're concerned about that, then use PS to blotch it out, but send the rest of the screen so they can see how you're setting up your cut job. If I had a design that I needed to run multiples of, I would lay it out as a single pass in a manageable size of output vinyl, then cut it repetitively until I got the necessary quantity. But then again, I have limited weeding and taping space, so others can sometimes do it in a single pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you just cutting s small strip of vinyl? Are these huge letters and using the entire width of the vinyl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 14, 2019 sure sounds a lot like an unregistered copy of scalp cutting lines thru after completing but he or she did reply yes to Graphtec pro studio - - -- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should just barely see and feel the blade tip out of the blade holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
