MZ SKEETER

I have it downloaded in trial version and it is on mine. That's what I was going by. It has all the drivers. Do they only give them UScutter drivers when they get Signcut from USCutter?

Look under LiYu for the Manufacturer, not USCUTTER

Your vinyl cutter brand is a LiYU, set it up on that.

contact tech support, either submit a ticket or call them.. this is only a member forum.. Uscutter rarely comes here.

make sure the carriage white wheels are firmly in the track, sometimes come out during transport. http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/12/0/bad-cuts

here is just an example, can be purchased many other places, you connect the serial cable that came with your vinyl cutter to the pin end of the adapter, then to your vinyl cutter. It makes a secure connection. http://www.uscutter....DAPTER-KSPADAPT

make sure your com port numbers match in your computer device manager and Signblazer. You should not keep plugging and unplugging your vinyl cutter, by doing that you are assigning it a new com port number. Best to always have a dedicated computer for your vinyl cutter and leave it plugged in. Or possibly if you absolutely need to unplug it. Then plug it in while the computer and vinyl cutter are BOTH off, that might help.

sounds like you need to change your blade offset to get the ends to meet. in the Signblazer software. adjust at .05mm + or minus, see what looks better in your test cuts.

save yourself some time and hire member Drakesis, very reasonable and great quality. http://www.excaliburcreations.com

LOL I know you meant what "she" said !!!!

1/2 a credit card it really too much, best way, take the blade holder out of your machine and in your hand cut firmly across a piece of scrap vinyl. you should only cut the vinyl and no marking in the wax paper backing, Adjust blade. to get there.

US Laser Point This cutter has all the same features of our Creation PCUT, but with the added bonus of a laser register that allows you to contour cut around preprinted digital graphics (cutting out decals). This step involves using a digital printer to print onto pressure sensitive vinyl first, then running the vinyl through the USCutter Laserpoint to cut out the graphics. This is a cost effective option for anyone who currently operates a digital printer, or plans on adding digital printing to their business in the future. Contour Cutting What is contour cutting? Have you ever seen a large, full color logo on the side of vehicle? You know that it is too intricate to be multi layer applied vinyl. It's basically a decal that has been printed with outdoor inks on white vinyl with a digital printer. Once printed onto the vinyl, the digitally printed shapes need to be cut out of the vinyl with a cutter. But the cutter needs someone way of knowing how to cut around the printed portion of the vinyl. Here is where the registration eye, or laser, comes into play with our contour cutters. The eye or laser registers at the edges of the printed portion of the vinyl allowing the software to know where to start and stop cutting. To contour cut with our USCutter Laserpoint, you will need to print to your digital printer with the software bundled with the USCutter Laserpoint, and then cut the preprinted vinyl using the same software. Our Graphtec series have more advanced contour cutting features allowing for greater tolerances and to cut and print with almost any design software. Contour cutting allows you to expand your product line as your capabilities are increased to create decals, full color t shirts, and vehicle wraps, just to name a few. What size cutter should I buy? Vinyl cutters are available in sizes from 8" cutting width up to 60". The question you need to ask is "Where am I willing to take my business?" If your answer is: "I am buying my cutter for a very specific application (paint stencils for a consistent product size) that I am already doing, or I am a hobbyist and not interested in anything more than I'm doing" (i.e. motorcycle detailing) then you should buy a cutter that will handle the single largest dimension you will ever need to cut. Typically a 25" cutter is all you will ever need. However if you answer the question, "If things go well, I'll take whatever comes my way, then you need to think about a larger cutter. For example once you get into vehicle graphics, it won't be long before someone wants the side of their van, trailer, or truck done, and they are not going to allow you to seam their 30" logo with 2 pieces of vinyl you cut on your 25" cutter. You might have to turn down that large light box face job, pay someone else to cut the graphics for you, or turn them over to your competitor because the job requires graphics that are larger than 24" in all directions. A 36", 48", or 54" cutter might be worth the extra investment down the road. The following is a rough guide for what you can do with different size cutters: 8" - 12" Cutting Width: Good for crafters and hobbyists; extremely portable. It can handle most wall lettering, lettering on some vehicles, and small decals. Drawbacks: 12" vinyl is hard to find and you will probably be forced to cut down larger rolls of vinyl. 24" - 25" Cutting Width: Vinyl comes commonly in 24" rolls. A 24" cutter is somewhat portable. It handles most vehicle graphics, smaller signs and banners, most storefront window lettering, lettering for interior walls or products, all heat transfer vinyl for t-shirts, and can cut smaller vinyl for all kinds of decals. 30" - 36" Cutting Width: Good all purpose size. It can create larger signs and can do most vehicle jobs including vans, and some trucks and trailers, Larger logos and decals. Can handle vinyl 30" and larger which is commonly available. It can also use 24" and smaller size vinyl. 48" - 50" Cutting width: Great for big jobs and large signs. Large trucks, trailers, large storefront window applications. Vinyl is commercially available in 48" lengths. It can also handle smaller vinyl. 54" Cutting width: It can handle almost anything. Special projects, large wall exhibits, wholesale work for other shops. People with 54" - 60" cutters often pick up jobs from other sign shops that have smaller cutters. 60" is the largest size in commercially available vinyl.

blade offset is in your cutting software. usually starting at .25mm and can be adjusted + or minus.

the cutter depth is not the blade offset. You adjust the blade depth with the force on your vinyl cutter.

did you adjust the blade like I told you to do first? by taking the blade holder out of the machine and in your hand cutting across a piece of scrap vinyl firmly? That is how you adjust the blade depth... It should only be cutting the vinyl and not marking the wax paper backing. Once you get it adjusted to that point, put the blade holder back in your machine.. Then adjust your force to maintain the same cutting depth, only cutting the vinyl and no marking on wax paper backing.

have you tried adjusting your blade offset.? adjust at .05 + or minus and see if it gets better. Blade should barely be seen out of the blade holder. You can take your blade holder out of the machine and firmly in your hand, cut across a piece of scrap vinyl. should cut the vinyl and no mark, in the wax paper backing, Then use the force of the machine to cut the correct depth. A drop of 3-1 oil in blade holder. can help your blade spin freely.
