zorp 0 Posted September 28, 2020 I have this problem, the plotter does not cut the designs well. The original design has symmetrical lines, but after cutting they are different, I modified the overcut and offset and there are no changes. *I show a picture. If in the middle of the design "vertically" we draw an imaginary line, the left side is different from the right side, be it a small, medium or large design. *(In all cuts) Specs: Uscutter MH721-MK2 FlexiSign. Windows 10 Will there be any solution? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted September 28, 2020 Which version of Flexisign? How did you set the blade depth? No mention how large the design is. All value cutters take patience and fine tuning a cutter, to cut sharp and clean. Also never be pulling from a roll while cutting, always have vinyl slack behind the cutter to do the job.

slice&dice 2,450 Posted September 28, 2020 Just curious, what is the end result when you Rotate Design Across Vinyl? (i.e. -- 90* turn) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted September 28, 2020 speed? blade? size of design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted September 28, 2020 What does the results look like if you cut a square? I suspect it will come out slightly off in one direction? My guess is you need to calibrate the cutter and software. I have not used Flexisign but it should have an option to calibrate the cutter someplace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for your responses. I will try to complete the information -FlexiSign PRO 10.5.1 -The depth of the blade is equal to half the thickness of a credit card. -For the test cuts I am using the leftover vinyl, in this case I am not using rolls.

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted September 28, 2020 Does the Flexisign 10.5.1 have a USB dongle? Like a flash drive? 1/2 Thickness of a credit credit is way too much blade exposed. You don't set it to a credit card or post it notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,625 Posted September 28, 2020 You calibrate the software to the cutter. For example, the software tells the plotter to move 1 inch, the plotter moves 1.1 inches. so the software needs to be adjusted to account for that extra 10% travel. Could just be the photo, but those squares look slightly taller than wide to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
