Most times when you plug and unplug, your vinyl cutter cable from your computer, you are assigning a new com port number to your computer, so they don't match anymore. That is why I requested screen shots of your device manager. Here are the instructions from USCutter for your LP and Vinyl Master set up. Your welcome. https://support.uscutter.com/support/solutions/articles/153000143252-setting-up-your-laserpoint-ii-cutter-in-vinyl-master

Did you first download the FTDI driver for your computer operating system, extract and run it,? Then reboot your computer? It should show that the driver is installed. You must do that. Then Go into your computer device manager and see which com port number that Windows choose. Only numbers between 1-4 will work. Then go to direct com in VINYL SPOOLER and choose the the same com port number. How did you come up with the number 2 for a com port number? You are showing these screen shots of Vinyl Master,, but not showing the photos of your computer device manager, which is where you get the correct com port number from. You have to download and run that driver for value cutters like the LP. Look on the internet for a FTDI driver for your computer system. Your welcome.

That is doable. You just change the cutter brand in the vinyl spooler, to which one you want to cut with. Make sure the com ports #s match on computer device manager and VM. The Titan 3 is TRUE USB. Not a com port #.

Confused. Are you talking about running 2 cutters at the same exact time? I don't see how that would work. You probably got Vinyl Master Cut with the Titan, I have seen on here when people got their Titan they wanted to stick with Signblazer, and the driver they used was the Copam to run the Titan in Signblazer, IF you wanted to stick with Signblazer. I think it would be easier to buy a cheap windows laptop, and put each cutter on a dedicated computer. Cheap computers can still be found. I still run on Windows XP 2006 laptop. dedicated With no problems, for my Graphtec. it doesn't take a fancy computer to run a vinyl cutter. The LP would work on Vinyl Master.. Old LP is probably a CREATION PCut with a laser.

I had to look up what reusable mesh stencils were. Never heard of it. My niche' is very detailed designs, large vinyl graphics 20" wide x 8ft-16ft. long. My cutter is the Graphtec FC-7000 MK2-75. (30) Bought cutter new in 2008, Never had any problems. Very heavy duty machine. It does what I want the first time. You can have the best of cutters there is. But if it is not set up correctly, it can be the worst of cutters. Many times you can get the top of the line Graphtec used, for what that new Graphtec CE7000 costs or less. Or even used Ce 6000 or CE5000. Graphtecs are very well built cutters and last for years, if they are taken care of. Check around Ebay, Craigs list, Facebook and have the money ready to pounce on one if you see it. Maybe consider driving a little further to save money. A couple of years ago, I picked up a Graphtec FC-8000-75 for $1000 free shipping. Took me 15 minutes to fix it. It was set up for cutting reflective and the seller had added 2 more pinch rollers for a total of 4 pinch rollers. Now as far as easy weeding, there is no such thing with detailed designs. And most of easy weeding is how well you set your cutter up. This job requires skill and patience. You need to buy weeding tools that work well with "your" hands. All I use is a #11 metal exacto knife. Box of 100 blades, pointed down tweezers, sewing needles/pin cushion and scissors.. Most forum member old timers here, that answer questions, are Graphtec owners and a few Summa owners. I don't know your designs, but in some cases you can use the Weed lines option of your cutting software, to help with weeding. I really don't use them for my designs, only for small text. If buying new, Graphtec is great at cutting detailed designs.

Your MH200 vinyl cutter user manual did tell you which software to use. Is it possible that replies went to your junk folder? You could have contacted UScutter, by a ticket or calling them. These are fairly new vinyl cutters. I have never seen or heard of anyone purchasing it, or anyone asking questions about one. There is only a handful of people that answer questions here and we are volunteers. Not employees of USCUTTER. UScutter techs rarely come on the forum except to maybe advertise. This is pretty much a user to user forum. The information that I gave you came directly from the the UScutter Support page for ALL vinyl cutters that UScutter sells, I had to research everything and look it up, just like you would. The vinyl cutter USER MANUALS, are telling you which cutting software to use. The regular MH Refine cutter goes by the size of the cutter as the name like MH 721 871, etc series, it is a totally different vinyl cutter and much cheaper, than the MH200 It is a rebranded Refine MH series vinyl cutter. You are even showing above that the older MH (legacy) cutter is listed in your screen shot above. MH is NOT a vendor. It's a model name. Every value vinyl cutter that UScutter sells is a rebranded product, except for Graphtec, Roland and Mimaki. I have no idea who is making the NEW series of MH 100, 200, and 300. From USCUTTER.com The first topic. https://support.uscutter.com/support/solutions/153000075471

This Vinyl Master cutting software is different than the regular VinylMaster software. This version of Vinyl Master is made for the MH200 series, plus the other NEW MH series that is made now. STEP 2: Using your favorite browser, go to mhcutter.com STEP 3: Create an account at mhcutter.com and go to the download page. STEP 4: Enter your machine serial number (MSN) to download the correct software. STEP 5: Follow the installation instructions in the software installer program. You can watch a video that covers the entire registration, download & activation process. It does show the correct driver in the list at mhcutter.com VinylMaster software.

ARE you following these instructions? We don't know where you are starting from.. You must use the info from that Barcode on the side of the vinyl cutter.. You are to follow the instructions from mhcutter.com https://uscutter.com/content/PDFs/MH200_Manual.pdf Info is found here. https://support.uscutter.com/support/solutions/articles/153000225613-mh-200-users-manual mhcutter.com/videos I have never seen how these new cutters are set up yet. I don't think anyone from the forum has come on here yet with questions on this new cutter..

Yes, screen shots would help of your set up. Something changed. Also did you try to do a factory reset? Have you tried another cutting software? Have you tried reinstalling your current software? Didn't you get Graphtec Pro Studio with your cutter? Or is Cutting master 5 replacing that now? Graphtec Pro Studio is like Flexi Sign pro with no RIP.

After you install the driver, reboot your computer. Use DIRECT COM. Match the numbers. 1-4. Not Detect.

If the blade is set correctly, as I stated, it is NOT possible to cut thru the backing, no matter how high the force, because the blade is set only to cut the vinyl and barely a mark on the wax paper backing. 2-2.5 mil. The blade should be so far in the blade holder, that you would think it wouldn't cut at all. Have you gotten down eye level and watched the cutter cut? You should. Also can you push the blade holder and blade down to the vinyl, with cutter off? Take the carriage head cover off and watch it.

Is this a new cutter? Or new to you? Or is it used? need more info. There is a lot of incorrect info on setting blade depth, do not use info of using a credit card or post it notes, they are wrong. Way too much blade exposed. If you are doing that, you may be breaking the blade tip off. Put it under a magnifying glass. Is the blade holder firmly into the blade holder carriage? Is the carriage arm that holds the blade holder cracked? Make sure the wheels of the carriage holder are firmly in the track. This is how to set the blade depth correctly. 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.

Sorry, I think i have read too much, today. I am still thinking about Vinyl Master, I forgot about SCALP, you are using. Have you reset the vinyl cutter with the reset button? Found this. To reset a Titan vinyl cutter for an oversized job, you can use the reset button to cancel processes, or turn off the cutter, shut down the software, and then turn the cutter back on. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Understanding the Reset Button: The reset button on the Titan vinyl cutter allows you to cancel ongoing processes, which can be helpful if a job is obviously too large or if the cutter is stuck. It can also reset the cutter to its default settings, including baud rate (9600), clearing the memory, and setting the origin of the carriage arm to its rightmost position. 2. How to Reset for an Oversized Job: If you're in the middle of a job: Press the reset button to cancel the current process. If the cutter is stuck or unresponsive: Power Cycle: Turn off the Titan vinyl cutter, then shut down the software sending the cut data, or restart the computer. Turn Back On: Once the software is shut down, turn the cutter back on https://www.google.com/search?q=titan+vinyl+cutter+oversize+reset+instructions&oq=Titan+vinyl+cutter+oversize+reset&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgCECEYoAEyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigAdIBCjI1ODkwajBqMTWoAgiwAgHxBQH5YlppRxA7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
