  1. Try a different trial of cutting software. Did you by any chance choose a different cutter brand in your cutting software? Did you ever calibrate the cutter to the software in cutter scale? Make squares and measure them.
  2. The carriage rollers are on the carriage head that holds the blade holder. Nothing to pick apart. Make sure they are firmly down in the track. Make sure nothing is in the track and that the carriage moves smoothly along the track. Make sure nothing is in the blade holder. like tiny pieces of vinyl. Is the cutter on a stand? Make sure it is all level. Wildgoose is talking about the grit rollers which are below the pinch rollers.
  3. We are just volunteers here. There are many threads and posts. here that you can read. But the main thing is getting the blade depth correct. Then you adjust the rest of the settings.
  4. too hard to see on that color of vinyl and angle of picture. try making some small rectangles with the rectangle tool and see if you can get them correct. With blade offset and overcut. Also Calibrate your cutter first to your software. Cut a smaller square like 3" x 3" and make sure it is exactly 3" x 3" after cutting. That cutter scale is in Vinyl Master
  5. There is no set pressure numbers for any vinyl cutter. . Pressure force is determined by how you set the blade depth. You set the blade depth as I stated above, By taking the blade holder out of the machine and pulling it firmly across the scrap vinyl that you will be cutting. Barely making a mark in the wax paper backing.And not cutting thru the backing. Then put blade holder back in machine, use the force, same thing, barely making a mark in wax paper backing. Did you do that?
  6. You use the force of the machine to cut with, Using the least amount of blade possible. What kind of vinyl is that? And how old is it?
  7. Make sure you haven't broken the blade tip off. . Back the blade so far into the holder, that you think it would not even cut. You shouldn't even hardly see the tip at all. That TEST has to be correct first. Perfect square, perfect triangle. How long have you owned this cutter? Look at gouges or scrapes in the cutting strip.
  8. As I stated the TEST feature is on your machine. Look at the Control panel. There is a TEST button. You run your TESTS from there. You always have to set the blade depth correctly before you even can run your vinyl cutter. That is part of the set up. Set the blade depth correctly as I stated.
  9. You stated you changed the blade, how did you set the blade depth? it has to be correct before any other settings can be adjusted. This is the correct way. Also run your test from the TEST feature right on the machine. Is it correct? Show photos. Perfect triangle and square? Also is the carriage head wheels firmly down in the track.? They must be. (You stated you moved the machine) 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.

    BLINKING GREEN SET UP LIGHT !!!!!

    The OP hasn't been on here for over a year. Contact Vevor, your tech support. There is only a handful of members that answer questions on here and they don't own a VEVOR. Or try what was mentioned above your post. No one has stated that the above Vevor was fixed.
  12. I know on flexi software you use the FILL option. Not outline. There are old posts on here for that. Here is one. Might be others, It looks like Fill is on higher versions of Vinyl Master.

    SummaCut D60 loading 6 inch width vinyl help?

    Start with a new blade. Every vinyl cutter blade depth should be set up like this. Blade depth is determined by the material that you are cutting. That must be correct first. Then you adjust the force. 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.
  14. Totally different types of orders. My niche' is large detailed graphics, mostly 20-27" wide x up to 16 ft. L. I don't need volume. I make great money on less orders and work less. Highly detailed large graphics sell at premium prices. Having a large width Graphtec with the tracking, accurate cuts and memory, gives me the upper hand over people trying to compete with value cutters. The only small decals that I make is from left over scraps to use up. I started from the git go on very large detailed graphics for 16 years now. I sell online only. I am pre-paid for my orders and nothing is cut ahead of time. If you really want service info. That is available online. The service manuals for Graphtec cutters, have been up for years. Not user manuals, SERVICE manuals. The https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1977422/Graphtec-Fc8600-60.html?page=1#manual

    Help with transferring over to imark plus 1.0

    Might be awhile to get an answer on that. There is only a hand full of members here who answer questions, and I don't know of 1 person who uses I-MARK software. We mostly cut vinyl here with our cutters.
  16. Run over night? Never heard of such a thing. Or anyone ever doing it. Personally, I would not run my cutter unattended for that kind of time. Have you seen these cross cutter reset instructions? I know it says to take off the carriage head cover, to reset this, BUT I don't know of anyone except yourself to fix this. It is not going to magically fix it's self. . Or take it to a Graphtec repair shop.
  17. I only use my cross cutter manually after the cutter is turned off. and I don't premeasure the width of my vinyl. I disabled media sensor day 1. Make sure the knob is tight holding the blade. Did you ever take the cover off and watch it?
  18. The cutter head needs to be going all the way over to the left side, so that the post on the frame goes into the cutter head and trips the cross cutter, so that it raises.. It does that, when it measures the width of the vinyl. Take the carriage head cover off and watch it. I bought a Graphtec FC dirt cheap for that problem. They didn't know how to fix it.

    The only serial to USB adapter guaranteed to work with a vinyl cutter is a Tripp-lite Keyspan Adapter with a null modem cable. Has been mentioned 100's of times on here. Tripp-lite is the brand name. find the best price. Download the Tripplite driver and install. You plug the USB end to your computer, screw the null modem cable to the Tripplite, then the other end screw into your vinyl cutter. https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Keyspan-High-Speed-USA-19HS/dp/B0000VYJRY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R96FTQ93017J&keywords=tripp+lite+keyspan+high+speed+usb+to+serial+adapter&qid=1659968032&sprefix=tripplite+keyspan+%2Caps%2C584&sr=8-1

    Marks where blade starts

    time for a new cutter, as much time as you have spent on that. My opinion, throw a Graphtec on your order and don't look back.

    Marks where blade starts

    what numbers did you start with on blade offset? Been awhile... Did you ever calibrate the cutter to the cutting software? Like cut a square 4" x 4" and it is actually 4" x 4"?
  22. My Graphtec cutter is ran by the software program. Flexistarter..Command language HP-GL. I do not make changes on my vinyl cutter it's self. I use Flexi software and Graphtec Cutting controller on Condition 9. It is either ran Condition Priority> Program or Manual, which is cutter.. A dot is actually checked for that. This is actually on the menu in my Graphtec vinyl cutter, as well as on the Graphtec Cutting controller. I went into Resolution in Flexi and changed it to 2540. and got my results. Graphtec FC7000MK2-75 Only resolution on my vinyl cutter menu is Circle Resolution. >Auto or default . My cutter was bought new in 2008, cuts beautiful. Never have had a problem.
  23. I don't use a Prismcut. It would depend on what your user manual says. Your cutter is a rebranded Skycut, maybe find a user manual for that.
