    Hi, does anyone know what kind of transfer tape will work for the Oracal 631 Copper metallic and Gold metallic?  I have tried R-tape Apli tape 4075 and it's not working at all.  I have used the clear transfer tape that US Cutter sells and it doesn't really work for rolling and shipping. 

    Someone told me the 4075 Conform R-tape works but is there a difference between 4075 conform and 4075 Apli tape?  (both in the R-tape)

    Thanks!

    Hi, I have a Seiki SK870T cutter and sometimes when I cut out a saying (more often than not lately) it messes up the letters on the corners.  It lifts the vinyl up on the corners of the letters it cuts out so the vinyl kind of wrinkles up and sometimes I have to redo the letter because it is ruined.  I am using Oracal matte vinyl.  It does it maybe on 5 letters in the saying and the rest are fine even though they might be the same letter and same size.  Any suggestions on how I can fix this so it doesn't ruin my letters?  Thanks!

    Thanks!  Any suggestions on how I figure out what fonts are being used?  (Not only on this one, but on other ones I have too. I know part of this one thanks to Firemalt :huh:)  Sometimes I want to add something to a design but I don't know the font. 

    Thanks again

    on the one that you posted I selected it (so its highlighted) then right click, then un group. Still couldn't move them around so then I right clicked again and saw un compound. So I un compound them they broke apart.

    does that help?

    That does help, thanks!  But the center's of the 'L, O and D' turned solid black.  Do you just have to compound those again individually to fix those letters again? 

    Thanks!

    Attached is an example of one of the items if you want to look at it.  I have a lot more that I use though so I would like to learn how to do so I don't have to have someone else do it all the time. :huh:

    How would I find out what font is used on my items so I can recreate them if I want to?  That would be helpful if I could find that out.

    (sorry to take so long to reply)

    Thank you, I see that now.  That works for text I type. I also have some stuff that I didn't type myself (some designs I purchased and downloaded).  How do I break those apart because the 'break apart' option is not available to use on some of those.  Sometimes I can upgroup them and then I can move them apart, but sometimes I can't use the ungroup choice either. 

    Thanks again!

    If I type a sentence and click the select arrow, the whole sentenced is outlined.  How do I separate the words so that I can just choose one word and change the size of it or whatever, or only cut one of the words out?  (I tried to click ungroup, but they are not grouped)

    Thanks

    My overcut is set to 0.1.  Is that a good setting?  The design cuts right on another machine, so I don't think it's the design.  The machine that is having the problem sometimes cuts good, and sometimes it cuts bad.  How do you tell if the tool carriage is bad?  Or the belts?

    Thanks

    I did contact seiki, they said to check the tool carriage which we did and it looks normal and seems to be on track from looking at it. 

    For the tiling, I went into the advanced tab and didn't see anything about tiling.  Can you be more specific about what to do on that tab?

    The design is only about 21" by 21"

    Thanks

    This is a new machine that I just bought a couple weeks ago.  The cut is off about 1/4 inch, sometimes less, sometimes more.  I cut one item out four times and it messed up each time, usually in different spots.  It  doesn't always mess up, but today it was doing really bad. 

    Is there anything I could check on the machine?

    Thanks

    Hi, I am using Flexi Sign Pro 8.1  with a Seiki SK870T cutter.  Sometimes the cut is off where the start and finish of the cut line meet.  Like on one design I do, it has a square outline around it and the lines were off where they are supposed to meet.  Also sometimes when it cuts out the middle of a letter (like an 'a') it will cut too far where the lines meet and cut into the letter but it doesn't always do that.  Is there something that can be done to adjust the cutting better?  Today on one design I cut out, (one with a square border around it) when it was cutting out the border, it got it way off and cut it right through the letters instead of where it was supposed to cut.  Sometimes it's way off, sometimes just a little off, and sometimes not off at all.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks
