on the cut screen is the selected only box checked? if so uncheck it and try again

I'd get the refine, definitly. I've got one and love it. I would also recommend buying direct for the warranty and service, just because some of these import cutters do have small problems.

tekcorps you are the shi*. I had to snag that one too

http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/98125579/19506.html a search for z71 on brands of the world turned this up

use all three rollers but also make sure the center one is not in the exact center of the cutter, in the break between the two bottom rollers. this will cause the middle of the vinyl to bunch up and ruin your cut. offset the middle roller to one side or the other. The only problem I've had with the knurl marks is that sometimes that part will want to stay on the backing when you pull up the transfer tape on detailed stuff. just gotta be careful.

the knurl marks go away when the vinyl is applied.

are you using sandblast mask or just good old 651? also what blast media / air pressure? awesome job!!!

I grabbed those samples, thanks.

Try taking off the blade holder and cleaning it up. Vinyl bits can get stuck in the holder and cause the blade not to spin freely and stick in one direction, possibly why it does good one way but not another.

yeah. what he said. Every blade seems like it can be a little different, most blades say an offset of .25, I think mine is set on .30 right now and working great there. Also you didn't say what blades you're using but a 60 degree would probably work better on that intricate stuff than a 45. I keep a 60 in mine pretty much all the time

got any updates for us yet? I wanna see how things are going

my supplier sells MDO 1/2", full 4X8 sheets sign ready (Primed and UVed) for $78. Course you wouldn't need a full sheet, but they will custom cut. or something like Extira, a wood fiber composite, $62 a sheet. IF you want aluminum, Poly-Core, aluminum faces with plastic core, about $60 too. I really like the poly-core, you can cut/route just like wood, ready for vinyl, and lasts forever

I snagged it thank you too

and a cartoon one but still not too cute CANIM018.eps CANIM018.eps

here's one I don't know if its cute enough KANGA001.eps KANGA001.eps

I think it should be mandatory for every one in this forum to read your post

I grabbed it too thanks

here is the link to that thread came out awesome from the pics http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,18243.0.html

there is a post on here where someone used heat press vinyl on a tent. I can't remember who but it wasn't too long ago, on a bank of america tent. Maybe search for it

if you get a great deal on the presses I may be willing to buy one off you if your interested I'm in bad need of a heat press on a shoestring budget.

I have been following this thread religously and lara I can't wait to hear what comes out of all this. I hope it goes well for you and I think that they really don't have much of a leg to stand on. wish you the best

thanks Z I grabbed them too. I also have a bunch of .wmf vectors do these cut like they are or do they have to be converted?

select all- arrange- weld- punch thru That will remove the black under the red your signs look good

that is probably the most coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. I gotta try that. awesome job. so about how much they selling for and how much were the lights?

I need a vector of a man washing a car and a man steam cleaning carpet, preferably of a similiar style. Thanks!!
