Hi. Attached are 2 images of the vectorizer. Can someone explain to me why this image is creating what appears to be a mask (the white of the image is the vinyl that will be kept), and this image [Image removed by moderator due to copyright infringement] is keeping the black part of the image? Both of these are using all of the defaults. I'm using VinylMaster Cut 5

@haumana I had thought about rotating the image in the workspace, but felt that would not be much use when nesting or optimizing. I think I'll go with the reduced cut speed. I'm VERY new to this and it sounds like i'm cutting WAYYY too fast. I've dropped down to 20 and the cuts are perfect. @slice&dice thank you for your suggestion. I'll take a look at it.

I'm not sure it this is an issue with the cutter, or the software, but when I rotate the cut with the "Rotate" checkbox in the spooler, I end up with many alignment issues, speed weeding passes will start IN the letter on the leading edge and not cut all the way to the next letter. narrow details will actually overlap such that the vinyl is completely removed. When cutting multiple copies side-by-side, the copies are not in alignment with each other. Starting and ending points of an enclosed shape don't line up, so that I am forced to clean up the cut manually to separate the shape during weeding. I have found that slowing the feed speed down to < 50 seems to improve the situation, but I can run >100 without issue if I don't rotate. It's behaving like the feed roller is slipping or skipping, but it only happens when cutting rotated. I always run an area test prior to cutting to ensure that vinyl is moving freely. Cutter is a MH 721-MK2. Most current version of VinylMaster Cut.
