I have an idea & it is a very simple & e-z solution , that only takes a little bit of logic ... Don't cut that decal in that size !!! Since you don't like/want to post the file ,that seems the only logical & sensible conclusion IMO

yes you sure can

Hello everyone! This is my very first forum membership. Vector conversion is my specialty; from raster (bitmap) to vector format. I use Adobe Illustrator but can import the illustrator eps file into CorelDraw for those requiring .cdr files. I can also create vector line drawings from rough sketches or from a photo. Even if you do not have an electronic file of your artwork but can take a photo of an item with the artwork on it, I can try to reproduce it. See samples of this here. I'm on a mission to rid the world of poor quality files. Here is my website: http://vector-conversions.com/ I hope it is ok to post my services website here. I admit I didn't read the policies yet, in fact, I can't find them. Not all vectorization I do is for cut signs or plotters so some of the samples on my website will have gradients and effects that are not acceptable for cutting or engraving. But I do have pages that try to explain the differences between continuous tone images and line-art and raster vs vector. Samples of images that have changed from photo to vector line art, from continuous tones to lineart, from grayscale to lineart, transparency vs white and more so customers can get an idea of how their image may change. If I can be of any help, please let me know. thanks! Jude

Try doing what I said in the PM, Retype the file into signcut and give that a try.

Back the truck up a second here Not cutting that size doesn't make sense- I know... BUT- You have to eliminate ALL possibilities when you're troubleshooting. It still could be the file, could be a cutter memory issue, and it could be that it is needing to be spooled in pieces versus just dumped to the cutter. Say I have a graphic with 1,000 nodes- 22x14. If I expand that to say, 500% - I still have 1,000 nodes, but their more spread out now- the file size goes from about 2.93mb to over 8mb.... Could be that the file, in that size, has too many nodes for the cutter to handle all at once, and the software needs to spool it a little at a time- OR the other thing I found a lot of the time with my old Laserpoint 24- It could cut faster than it could receive... so once it ran out of nodes to cut, even though they were still coming it would go crazy and do dumb things. Things to try- - Slow down your cutter - this can also effect tracking and placement of weeding lines and letters. - Check or don't check "Use Spooler" under the cutter settings in SignCut - Try that Keyspan device you have coming.... - Try cutting without your blade in, and also use a pen tool on paper to see if you have the same issue- Static can cause goofy mess as well.... - Before perfoming large cuts, shut the cutter off completely to clear out it's buffer, this helps as well on machines with less memory. - They also make a memory upgrade for the MH series cutters- Seems to be that this fixes a lot of problems with this machine as well.

Keep in mind, this lady DOESN'T know the first thing about her OWN equipment.. LOL And people will call every version of Flexi .....Flexi from Flexistarter 8, which also has a USB dongle and worth about $50.00, clear up to FlexisignPro8.6 with the dongle.. Which could still command up to $1000.or more.. Flexisignpro 10 has been out for a couple years. WATCH OUT....

Were offering suggestions. The cutter is dumb, it only does what its told. Its not just going to misspell a word one day. Its doing what the computer told it to do. Dont take a look at the file and dont buy a keyspan...

yeah . this will also give me LOTS of inside and out about the job.... so years down i will hopefully become successful with my own business doing this.
