It changes fine during the test cut setting on the cutter

Yes I did and it's hooked up and running. It was still leaving tags until I upgraded SCAL though. And that was reinstalled twice before the upgrade.

Well...everything is good on the cutting side now. Maybe it was just SCAL 3 pro??? Now about the cutting speed

Ok guys, this has baffled me from the start of my issues. I have timed a cut finally and these are my results, all the same design just different speeds.
600- 4minutes 32 seconds
400- 4 min 43 sec
200- 4 min 50 sec
100- after 10 min, I left, got a cup of coffee, wrestled the kids, let the dog out, went to bed, woke up and it was finally done. What is up with that???

@MrJoel try doing the same images again without the weeding lines and see if it does it again..If it does or doesnt check for a scalps update by to the website or upgrade to 4pro like i stated before for cheap.Fixed the last persons issues..
Upgraded to 4pro last night...

Any suggestions for a work around?

good grief! I got them cutting very good...until I put a weeding box into the picture...then quite a bit of the detail is lost. 10 skulls at 2.5" with weeding box is ok. same 10 skulls at 1" with weeding box, its looks like my 7 year old drew it...blind folded...behind his back...with his toes! I can cut 10 without the box just fine. weird

Yes they are

Just had support answer my question saying that the offset should be set to between .35 and .39mm to deal with the "flag" that the pictures show. However, they didn't address the inconsistency in the flags. I didn't get a chance to get the other eye mirrored last night as some medical issues came up with our munchkin.

I love it when people think outside the box! I'm gonna give it a try!

I'm really thinking that after the boys school gets paid for, I'm upgrading

One other thing to note is that the first cut on each decal is the top of that right side eye... is there a way to designate a start spot on each decal?
-
6 hours ago, Wildgoose said:same spot on every instance make sure there isn't a stray node or something in that spot, could be the file.
I checked the nodes and they are spot on! I switched to another 45° blade...no issues??? Really? I'm so confused. So I switched for another 60° (3rd different 60 I've tried...same thing)
-
I had been keeping it outside but it's too freakin hot now. All I do is reflective and I've been noticing "chatter marks" where the blade is sticking a bit as it tries to cut through. Much like the way hand cutting vinyl on wrapped cars can tend to get alligatored when it's hot (and I did 3 wraps today with 3 companies vinyl...it got very weird when the shop temp hit 95). I guess I'll try to keep it inside until I'm ready to cut it...I'm weeding inside anyway

I'm still running my part time stuff out of the garage at home...it's getting hot (ok, it has been really hot). What temp does the vinyl go wonky when cutting for you seasoned vets out there?

Ok, I'm trying to do a bunch of these skulls for my kiddos birthday party to put on some various things but the issues is showing up in other places too...so I grabbed a few pics. These are 1" wide overall and the eye socket keeps having a tag on the one on the right...not in all of them but enough to drive me crazier. The 45° blade wasnt liking the combo of reflective and small decal so I purchased a few more 60° blades that arrived today. Same issue as before. .25mm offset (same as the 45) so I left it at the .31mm that it cuts well with using the 45. Overcut has been adjusted from 1.02mm to .95 and 1.07...not really any changes to note...same tags in the same spot.
Do you guys have a test image that you use to set offset and if so can you leave it on here for me?

Got, it was a setting in the drop down menu (the one under the USB selection drop down) where I had to select the keyspan adapter. It cut good but I still don't understand why the plotter's test cut speed is different than the speed when cutting a file...noticeably much different! I run at 500 and the plotter flys on the test cut...when I cut a file it runs at what seems like between 100-200 at test cut speed

Got the keyspan adapter, installed the drivers, went to cut and the laserpoint II isn't seen by SCAL pro 3...rebooted...same thing. Help

I am a fleet graphics installer who does everything from full wraps to door decals. Bubble free is all in the vinyl, or is it? Squeegee selection is a huge factor...a hard squeegee over a premasked sign vinyl with a dry application can look amazing and the vinyl will cost 25% of what a wrap vinyl will cost. Knifeless tape means you lay the design out with the tape and then apply a larger selection of vinyl rather than cutting your stripes, weeding and then using application tape. if it's my car, I'm probably going sign vinyl...my wife's ride...it's getting a premium wrap vinyl (I treat her good)

8 hours ago, MZ SKEETER said:The value cutters have a cheap Chinese chip. If your using USB, get a Tripplite Keyspan Adapter and don't look back. This has helped hundreds on here. You can look it up on here. Tripplite Keyspan Adapter is the brand name and the only brand known to work with a vinyl cutter. It controls the data sent to the cutter. Or a serial cable.
Example only. find the best price.
Does it work with a Mac?

This is driving me nuts today! SCAL pro 3 keeps crashing, when it send to the LP2 sometimes it will cut right (nothing extravogant just twelve 3"x5" crosses) yet on different cut jobs with same items it will do 3 of the 5 rows fine but then slightly jack up the others by like not completing an entire side of the cross or the plotter will just freeze while SCAL says everything went over ok.
then to top it all off, I'm running at an indicated speed of 500. I do a test cut from the plotter's control panel and it zips through it lickety split... I cut a design and it is the equivalent of doing a test run at 100... It sounds like a communication issue between SCAL, the com port, and the plotter but how do i fix it? I am running reflective here and it's getting costly
Speed settings don't really work

No weed lines this time...
even if I do the word "TEST" in 1" letters there really is no speed difference unless I drop down to 100
