So have you done a factory reset? To perform a factory reset on a Graphtec CE6000-60, power off the machine, hold the up arrow key, and power it back on. Release the up arrow key when you hear two beeps. The machine will then prompt you to select "default setting," which you should confirm by pressing "1". You can also access the reset option through the MENU -> OTHER -> Return to default settings, and confirm by pressing ENTER. Detailed Steps: Power Off: Turn off the Graphtec CE6000-60. Hold Up Arrow: Press and hold the up arrow key on the control panel. Power On: While holding the up arrow key, power the machine back on. Release and Confirm: Release the up arrow key when you hear two beeps. The machine will display a message asking you to select "default setting". Confirm Factory Reset: Press "1" on the control panel to confirm the factory reset. Alternatively, use the MENU: You can also access the reset option through the main menu by pressing MENU, scrolling to OTHER, and selecting Return to default settings. Confirm with ENTER.

How did you stop the project/cutter? Have you tried to Factory default reset? With the power turned off, move the carriage head over to the right side. Start there. What happens?

but aren't the graphtecs meant to perf cut? Isn't that why the channel is there?

because these cutters have a channel made to cut through so you can have Perf Cut stickers without as much wear on the cut strip.

You are very welcome

Well I find it pretty easy to Grab all of the file> UNGROUP> So they are individual files. Grab the files, either 1 at a time or a group of them and DELETE. what you don't want. .I did it in a Vinyl Master cut Demo. You should be able to.

Welcome to the forum. Thank you for signing up. Glad you were able to figure out an aswer on your own. Thank you for posting your solution, as I'm sure it will help future users. If I may ask - what software, and platform (Win or Mac) you're using?

Ok, so I think I just worked it out! Looking in this panel: I can pause the different colours and then switch out the pen before continuing! Hope this helps if anyone else comes across this. Cheers Phil

I will for sure post back with the solution. Nothing worse than finding posts about someone with similar issues, members giving lots of suggestions and the person not reporting back on what fixed their issue. I am in some Facebook groups for SCAL and Mac users.

You are very welcome, happy to help. I would go with the clip arms, US seller. Goes all the was across vinyl. You can adjust them across the vinyl. Press wheel is seller in Thailand, zero feedback.

There's a chart somewhere with the comparisons of features -- what's included, what's not -- all along the upgrade levels. If you have a Jeep parked there in front of you, take a good straight-on photo (s) and include an easily identifiable and measurable thing in the pic. (when I do a wall install, a brick is that thing) When you import the photo as a .jpg, just insert a rectangle that is the exact size of that thing. When they match in size after zooming/expanding, now you'll have a full-sized image on screen, allowing you to create the workspace(s) required.

You are very welcome. There are trial versions of Vinyl Master that you can download for Free, so you can see the different versions.

By the way, we have previously offered the suggestion of flipping over the worn/scratched strip and using the fresh untouched bottom as the top. (not sure if you can do this, because of the adhesive, but worth a try)

I would venture to say "yes" to using the same cutting strip, those are fairly standard width, machine to machine. As for the other situation with the holder, that's the complete opposite of the strip. Each machine has unique dimensions of the blade holders. And you say that particular holder is even MORE unique in that blades can't be swapped out!

The only thing I use weed lines for is small text. I usually cut large designs, so I use an exacto knife and make cuts as I am weeding my design. If you have a low budget cutter, the tracking on your cutter may not track good. My cutter tracks great, Graphtec. It also depends on how fast you are cutting. You sure would not want to be cutting fast. I always cut slow anyway, as I am reading and answering questions on here. Always have enough vinyl pulled to do the entire order. never be pulling vinyl from the roll while cutting.

This is the Graphtec CE5000 'SERVICE MANUAL". NOT User manual. Possibly you can find a fix in there under the correct category. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2175068/Graphtec-Ce5000-Series.html

"Vevor" generally works properly with SignMaster software. Try utilizing a Virtual Com Port (stm32) in order to get it recognized. https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows (This "Tracy" comes along with minimal information and into a thread from a decade ago, so let's assume this is just another newbie who pops in, then disappears)

OK, so the word 'moribund' may be too feeble of a description for what this Forum has become. Perhaps 'cadaver' would be better? Anyway, I'll keep on plugging away, between the spammer onslaughts and lack of interest generally. As we approach the fly-by-night event of Dec 24th and the subsequent Christmas Day, (with the coinciding Hanukkah festival) here's a bunch of graphics for FREE, courtesy of Font Dings! https://www.fontspace.com/category/christmas,dingbats

OK, I know this Forum has gone moribund, but I thought it might be fun to start a thread for members to voice their opinions on what would constitute the Best Deal at USCUTTER for gifting during the Holidays. So many great items exist, from stocking-stuffers to big boxes of fun! This is the one I want Santa to bring me --- at a ridiculous price point of $340. (actually the machine itself is really just $199 if you take into account that the software bundles is valued at $60 and the included stand/media basket combo is worth probably $80 by itself). https://uscutter.com/refurbished-34-mh100-vinyl-cutter-with-stand-and-software

Gotta love the easy fixes.

Thank you both, this was it! The offset was set to 0.020in, I just unchecked the box (no offset?), had them test and it printed perfectly. Pardon the phone picture, I didn't have time to take an actual screenshot. Thanks again, I learned something new and the sign crew team is happy again.

You can go ahead and put that INITIAL BLADE POSITION>OUTSIDE, or it will leave a little J. in your design. But you should be looking for Blade offset. Blade offset is ZERO on Graphtecs. Which Cutting software are you using? Are you running the cutting on Windows or a Mac? If Windows, that cutter has a Graphtec cutting controller that you can make changes right from your computer. Before wasting vinyl and cutting text, use the TEST feature right from the vinyl cutter, and your triangle and square should be perfect. https://www.graphtecamerica.com/cp-downloads-fc8600 Under drivers is Win Controller V.OPS67.. Cutter must be ready to cut when using this operation. User manual is also on this page. This is the correct way to set the blade depth on any vinyl cutter. 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 tip out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade. When you think the blade is so far in the blade holder, that you think it would not even cut, that is probably correct.

I think that USCUTTER is working with the Chinese manufacturer to address several issues on these MH updated versions. That would explain the "Sold Out" situation, which is crazy to see, now right before Christmas when many people buy these low-end cutters as gifts or to start a work-from-home gig. There is an old rule in the technology (and automotive) business. Don't ever buy V1.0 of anything. Let the early-adopters work out the bugs first. Proof here, right?
