Large jobs not cutting sharp on Titan 2; Graphtec CE6000

[minglewoodfz 0]

I have two cutters attached to my Win10Pro PC (i5, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD)

Titan 2 and Graphtec CE6000, both connected via USB

I currently run SCAL4 and SCAL4Pro. I generally run jobs around 36" in length containing various designs (script wording, soccer balls, pirate ships, etc.)

If I run a small job (one or two designs) the end cut is perfect. Nice clean edges.

If I run a large job (36" of many designs) then the cuts start to lose detail, almost like the cutters are skipping nodes. It's always on the smaller designs (5" and smaller) with detail.

I've attached an example of what both of my cutters are doing.

I've swapped USB cables, swapped PC's, tried different USB ports, checked for PC chipset upgrades, PC upgrades, and attempted a support conversation with Craft Edge (went nowhere.)

I'm going to try SCAL5 to see if that has any impact. Not a fan of 5 but if this fixes our issue then i can live with that.

Does anyone have anything I could try to fix this?

many thanks
Chris

 When you got your Ce6000-60, didn't you get a license for Graphtec Pro Studio?  Hands down the best software for your Graphtec,  Over a $1000 software.   Then  also try your Titan on different software.  Can be used on the old Signblazer for free under the Copam driver.  Take the Scalp software out of the equation.   Also maybe make sure your blade depth is set correctly.    With detailed jobs, you didn't state your speed, but you may want to to slow the speed down.  I never cut fast. 

To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. 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 barely see and feel the blade out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade.

To get the multiple designs, are you laying out multiple copies on your design or are you letting the cutter do the repeating on it's own?
