Scale problem - objects come out too large

[eriswerks 0]

I found one other thread mentioning this problem, but there was no resolution. Everything I cut (out of Flexi) is scaled up just a tiny bit. The objects are the correct size in the layout, and scale is set to 100% when I cut, but they come out bigger than they should be.

I ran a test, cutting two 1" squares set 6" apart. Sure enough, when I measure the actual cut piece the squares are 6 1/16th" apart, about a 1% difference. It doesn't seem like much, but that is really bad news over a long run, or when you're trying to get tight registration.

I'm not sure if this is a mechanical issue or a driver issue. I've been using Flexi every day for a couple years now, so I am pretty confident it's not a user issue.  Has anyone solved this problem? If not, I'll accept idle speculations...

Here's that other thread: http://uscutter.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&topic=87.0

Hello

I had the same issue till I ran the calibrate option on the sign cut x2 program.

Once I did that it seemed to fix the too large problem.

Hope that helps
