    Jagged edges

    No, it didn't help, I've removed carriage, there were nothing loose, please see picture: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter4/1.jpg http://www.codardesign.com/cutter4/2.jpg I then opened the right panel and tighten the belt. At the end I ran test cut and nothing changed: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter4/3.jpg (this is speed 24, force 80, as I did before) Further I tried to decrease speed to 8, this is what I got: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter4/4.jpg - I didn't try this before But what really confuses me, when I increased the speed to 32, this the result: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter4/5.jpg - overall A is better and only some angled lines are affected! This phenomenon appear to angle-specific. I'm losing my mind over this and don't know where else to look. Darren

    Popeye, putting a pen was a great idea, however, it just confirmed how big this problem is, take a look at picture: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/paper1.jpg And it's not the font, since it's converted to curves and appears on any sharp-angled line such as in Y, W, A...

    BanerJohn thanks for trying to cut my file! Ken did you see my video and pictures of the carriage: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/play.htm http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/1.jpg http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/2.jpg Other than it allows me slight up-down movement of the blade holder, as you can see on video, there is nothing loose or rattled as I can see. Cutting strip is almost new, since I kept masking tape for a long time. Is there anything else inside the unit I can check or tighten up? Darren

    BannerJohn and Judd, I decreased the protrusion of the blade and it didn't help at all. Thanks for your reply. In the meantime, I noticed something else: My vinyl is 15" and I always put it in the middle of cutting strip. Now, I noticed that if I move it far left (beneath display) edges got much worse, and if I put it on the far right, edges get smoother, the wobbliness almost dissappears. Take a look at pictures: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/1.jpg and zoomed in: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/2.jpg http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/3.jpg http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/4.jpg http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/5.jpg If someone wants to try, here is Corel file: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter3/test.cdr It definately appears to be problem with rollers, either metal or rubber ones. Is there anything I else I can check? Regards, Darren

    That's right Bigmac, very small graphic isn't affected as much as large is. Since I'm going crazy over this and friends who payed 5 times more for Roland are now laughing at me (I used to mock them before), here is a video and more pics, so please take a look: http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/play.htm - is carriage arm supposed to have this tolerance? http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/1.jpg - here is open carriage, nothing seems loose to me http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/2.jpg - other angle http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/3.jpg - this is also bothering me, is the blade protruding enough? http://www.codardesign.com/cutter2/4.jpg - I know this may not be good, will somebody please explain once and forever the best way to tighten these rollers up? Thank you! Darren

    Jagged edges

    I just installed Signngo and SignBlazer Demo and it didn't change a thing. I don't think it's software related. However, I noticed that edges are more jagged at the center of the cutter where metal roller meets, so I tried to tighten them up, but they were already tight. They don't move where they shouldn't and appear to be aligned. I also tried 60 deg blade and that helped a lot, however this is not how my material is supposed to be cut and not to mention that it worked perfectly first few weeks. Is there anything else I can tighten or check? Thanks! Darren

    Gentlemen you are not listening to me. First it started few weeks after purchase and is deteriorating over time. Within 3 months, I changed 3 blades. Transfer material is cut with 45 deg blade as per manufacturer suggestion. Second, it gradually change from very bad left edge to perfect left edge from left to right. And third, it doesn't depend on artwork, i tried vector, fonts, vector with more nodes, with less nodes, ai, eps it doesn't matter. Also, I'm cutting material for a client who is using different material, different artwork and it is the same. Thanks for your reply! Darren

    Thanks for reply! Yes, carriage is sitting properly. As I said everything worked fine for a first few weeks and now it is deteriorating as time goes by. Also, edges are more jagged on the right side (below display) DARREN

    Is this official support forum or not? What man has to do to get some support around here? Darren
  13. Hello, Few weeks after purchase my MH721 is making some edges of the graphic jagged. I'm using Corel Draw and SignCut and on this example font is converted into curves. Pretty much all diagonal edges (sharp angle) gets jagged in standard speed 24, force 80. As I decrease the speed edges get more refined, but force doesn't matter. While it was new, all edges were perfect. I'm using this cutter for T-shirt vinyl, connected via USB. I checked carriage wheels, different blades, roller tension, blade offset.. but no luck. The issue is best notable on letter A. You will also notice how from O (origin) to the left, edges on the "a" get less jagged. http://www.codardesign.com/cutter/ Other than this, cutter is great! Thanks! DARREN
