    Ok...I am working with Flexi 8.1 and an EPSON Stylus Photo R1900 Printer and Graphtec 5000 cutter. I bring in a JPG to Flexi, contour it and then send it to Rip/Print. When I print the picture to be cut, it is smaller than the size that I set up in the dialog box. The Graphtec cannot find the registration marks when this happens. Can anyone tell me what I may be missing to get the sizes correct when printing? It prints correct size from other applications, just not in Flexi for the Rip/Print.

    The size I am trying to print is 10"x2" and it prints 8 1/4" x 2 1/2". I am using copy paper 11x17 for testing.

    Thanks

    tux plot is a stand alone program

    inkcut is a plug in for inkscape only

    ---------------------------------------------

    ok i guess i was going around it a different way

    at first i added my graphtec and as soon as i plugged it in to the usb linux found it right away but no drivers so i added as a raw printer

    and with the mh i was trying to install the driver so linux could see the cutter

    i never did go in and manually tell what port it was on ( that i  can remember)

    --------------------------------------------

    i am also going to work on the code for the optical eye i will post what i find here as well

    ---------------------------------------------

    thanks

    ok here it goes

    I would like one more time and not get everyone all wound up.

    HowardI i ended that last thread becouse yes it was going way too far.

    I am just trying to figure somethings out and hoping your willing to share some information.

    your a linux user? same here i was told that you got Ink Cut to work on all cutters. how i could never get the MH to work or any of them to work becouse of the serial to usb adapter. do you mind sharing some info with me?

    what i was mainly in here was for some coding, i need to grab the code that is used on the graphtec so i can add teh print cut feature to ink cut.

    there has to be some code gpgl - that is used to turn on the laser eye and have it start to scan for registration marks.

    i can pull HPGL code off very easy but i cant pull GPGL code have you seen it? what does it look like?

    thanks for everything

    (my avatar is happy now LOL)

    Tinaski, you are in good company I have been accused of being a troll also ;) ;).  I have been very impressed with all the help you have given people on here and you are a major contributor!

    well to be honest both you and BannerJohn are held in the highest respect here and that does make me feel better.

    i dont just leach off of everyone elses success to try to make it. i try to give back to the new comers but after the past posts it really makes it hard to help out.

    if uscutter wants this forum to die there on the right track thinking that they can treat anyone like this. i am not expecting special treatment because i have been here a while nor am i expecting anything special because i do help out - i just dont feel its right to be called out like that nor should anyone whether you have been here 2 days or 2 years .

    comon cant ya reply back and tell me you dont know anything?

    Asking for our assistance is no problem at all. However, doing so in an invasive and demeaning way is not going to get you anywhere. We may not all be LINUX nuts like yourself - but please don't troll the forums, or call out people's intelligence levels before they have even answered the question.

    Howard is on vacation this week and I will forward him this thread so he can take a look and possibly give you some advice.

    Wow didn't expect that, you replied back 2xs since i put that on the forums. 8 days isnt enough time to to reply to a question ? i did give you a chance. i didn't mean to offend you but i have seen USCUTTERS support and i thought you were going to be different., but after that little reply your not any different at all.

    so why does every one use linux have to be "nuts"?

    how do i troll the forum - i help out a lot of people on this site

    Ok, i am planning on selling decals on a website however I would like to sell automotive logos but I know they are copyrighted.  Just wondering, I found this on a website that sells automotive logo decals and at the bottom it reads:

         "NOTE: Some of the logos included on this site are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective

          companies and are provided as a convenience only for their lawful use. It is the expressed intent of (xxxxxx)

          that any unauthorized use of these items by the purchaser shall be the sole responsibility of the purchaser. The

          purchase of any item from (xxxxx) is not authorization for the use of any specific logo or trademark. By

          purchasing said logos, you are indicating that you have authority to use the artwork.

    I don't feel this would be a significant way to be allowed to sell logos, I was just wondering.

    thanks in advance

    im not sure but in court - that is admitting that they dont have legal right to make them - so the best thing to do is not do them

    you might have done this all ready but just a question

    -- did you put the old blade back in ?

    -- is there a way to put a pen -magic marker -crayon -something in replace of the blade -

    load a sheet of paper and plot that out. if you still get bad edges then you know its either the controls of the cutter or the design itself - i bet its not the design since you can see how it should look on the screen.

    its prob going to be the controls - either motherboard, motor going south, or stuck rollers -

    tell me if this is correct - if you cut lines up and down there fine - cutting lines left and right there fine - but if you cut at an angle there bad - both sets of rollers - motors have to move at the same time --

    i have seen this happen a lot - i have never had it happen to me so i haven't had the chance to mess with it and see what the problem could be. from what i am aware of no one has found what causes that it would be trial and error. just some things you can try. lube up all bearings including the motor bearings that would allow them to roll smoother, after that its allot more technical. you can check the motors out ohm them and see what the resistance is they all should be very close. mother board find one and replace it and see what happens.

    We had an mh - if you think its hard to get the vinyl straight you will hate the mh - keep the graphtec we have 2 now and love them

    There is inkscape and there is a plug in for inkscape you can use to cut with I believe it should work with the graphtec we don't have windows so we can't test it but I am thinking of setting up a computer with win to try it out

    If you also happen to ise inkscape and if its one color you can resize it as a larger image and save it as a jpeg or png and then open it again in inkscape and revector it it will be fine then -

    If not (I've been away from adobe a while) can you ungroup it multiple times the layers could be very deep I have had to ungroup it 7 or more times -

    Or just a thought inkscape has cut to path that will take the image and all layers are combined into one - sorta but basically that's how it works
