I am using my CE-7000 in conjunction with Cut it Out software by Colorbyte.

Issue 1. CE7000 was failing to get past rear registration marks, but when adding an inch of paper taped to edge, it now works. This is software or hardware? Using Colorbyte Cut it Out software and support has been great, just curious if anyone has experience with this.

I have been on here for years, and have never heard of that software, or anyone using that software.  Why not use the Graphtec software that Graphtec designed for the vinyl cutter?  Graphtec Pro Studio is made by SAI, so very much like Flexi Sign Pro. Valued at over $1000, There is support for that software, and a license should have came with a new Graphtec.   Most people here cut vinyl. Decals, signs etc.   Contact your support for that software. 

This is the correct way to set blade depth, 

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.

I see, thanks for the insight. So, I might be an oddity for this forum. I don't use Vinyl, I use matte paper and print wall art. The machine rocks for doing precision paper cuts for wall art and would highly recommend the CE-7000 with Cut it Out software for those purposes - saves me hundreds of hours a month not doing manually cuts. 

So, I assume there are similarities in errors as it relates to registration marks and bar codes and makes this forum relevant for the CE-7000? 

Thanks

on the adding material to the end - my guess is that you are not allowing enough material there when cutting your paper and the plotter needs enough past the end to find the marks - without enough the sensor that senses paper length will stop the feed before it gets to the marks - you can either add to the length or you can turn the sensors off

Got it - yes, absolutely correct. Setting in Printer setup that either allows white space or not. The 2nd issue with cutting also addressed - hanger space of 0 means it cuts w/o spacing. Not good. Resolved. Thanks for your input. Both issues resolved.
