Graphtec CE7000-60 Making Multiple Passes While Cutting
darcshadow replied to Super Dave's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
I don't have that cutter but I do use that software. Post the file if you can and I'll take a look at it. Are there multiple colors in the design? If you don't have the settings right, that can cause unexpected results. -
Scaling Issue: Graphtec CE6000-60 Plue & Graphtec Studio
darcshadow replied to haumana's topic in Mac Users Board
I've not been impressed with the Studio program for design. I use Inkscape for design and just use Studio for cutting. -
Scaling Issue: Graphtec CE6000-60 Plue & Graphtec Studio
darcshadow replied to haumana's topic in Mac Users Board
Finally got around to playing with the software. When you type out the text., the box that appears around the text is not the size of the test. It extends above and below. I'm assuming below for lower case letters and above for super script or some sort of punctuation maybe. As far as I know, the only way to get the true size is to convert the text to curves then resize it. -
Titan 2 compatible blade type?
darcshadow replied to haumana's topic in TITAN 2 Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
Webpage says it's a Roland compatible blade. -
Static would be my guess as well. And to be clear you need to ground the vinyl. Most people accomplish this by grounding the stand. USCutter also sells a grounding kit that basically draps a metal chain across the vinyl to dissipate static.

Scaling Issue: Graphtec CE6000-60 Plue & Graphtec Studio
darcshadow replied to haumana's topic in Mac Users Board
How are you setting the font size? There is a setting for font height, but that doesn't mean the true height will be what you set. I forget exactly how it works, but it's a little weird. Check the measurement of the text after you type it out and see if the size is what you expect. -
Cool. One comment though, I would have either weeded the center or the P and Rs or not weeded the centers of the B.

How to add Roland gs24 to scal5 pro?
darcshadow replied to MrTeajunkie's topic in Sure Cuts A Lot Pro
Look for an export rather than Save As. Also, a question how is the GS24 an upgrade over the CE6000 to your operation? Another question. You say the GS24 is moving slow. How are you sending a design to it? -
How to add Roland gs24 to scal5 pro?
darcshadow replied to MrTeajunkie's topic in Sure Cuts A Lot Pro
I can't help with setting up the new cutter but I would suggest you get in the habit of saving/exporting your designs as EPS or SVG files. That way in the future if you ever do have to switch to a different program you will be able to easily load old designs. Also, don't let the number of old designs you have scare you from switching software. How often to you actually load an old design and cut it? If like most people, not often. And when you do need an old design, just load it, save it off as an EPS and you're done. No need to convert them all, just convert them as you need them. -
Blade holder retrofit
darcshadow replied to mpanek's topic in TITAN 2 Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
The function of the spring and the adjustment of depth have nothing to do with each other. Set the blade depth per Mz Skeeters instructions. Then if you're still having issues look at things on the cutter, bad cutting strip, non smooth movements of the cutter head, correctly functional solenoid. With the blade set correctly it is impossible to cut too deep. -
Not just windows. The number of things that can be fixed by turning it off and back on is dumbfounding.

Using Siser Romeo with Vinylmaster LTR
darcshadow replied to jillkmorgan's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
I think you're missing what slice was trying to say. It's not that other programs can't use a Siser cutter, it's just that the only software FC supports is the Leonardo Studio. Here's another example. MicroSoft will say that MS Office is only compatible with with Windows 10 and newer. However there are plenty of people out there that have gotten MS Office to run on older versions of Windows, and even various versions of Linux. There are almost always other ways to run things, just the vendor doesn't want you to use them and doesn't directly support them. -
If you change which USB port on the computer you are connected to that can sometimes confuse the software. If you have a serial port, or a usb-2-serial adapter, on the computer the serial cable is the recommended way to go though. It's more reliable with the MH cutters.

TITAN 2 stand to table top
darcshadow replied to GHEENEE1's topic in TITAN Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
Even short decals, a stand is nice and makes things easier. -
Graphtec CE5000-60 What Software does it accept
darcshadow replied to James159's topic in GraphTec Cutting Plotter Support Requests
I would be very surprised if Cutting Master can not open or import and EPS file. If you don't see EPS as an option when you select open, look for an import option. You can design for any cutter in any design software. Just like you can print any picture with any printer, you can cut any design with any cutter. I like Inkscape for design. It's amazingly powerful for a free program. Pick your design software, make your design, save it as an eps file, IMPORT the eps file into your cutting software, click cut.
