    Need Help - Double cutting the image!

    I had it converted to an .eps My only reason for trying to use the trace was to try and locate the double print issue..... So when I imported it it cuts once. When I run it through the trace, it cuts multiples. Everyone suggested previously that it was the image. again, just trying g to figure all this out. This is the image I submitted to the website.

    Need Help - Double cutting the image!

    My claim of successful, is that I have been repeatedly cutting the same (total mess) image without any issues as well as a several others. Meaning not double / triple cutting over the same line. From what I have gathered, the trace function on the program is what is causing this. When I take the new cleaned up image which cut fine (when I imported it) when I put in the trace, it cuts twice... I understand that my image was not well, but there seems to be more than that going on. Anyway, I am cutting again, just in a different way. Thanks again.

    I did not know of any other way. ....Seemed easy enough hitting the trace button. Which again has been very successful. Just still don't get why out of know where it messed up. Seems to be working on files I had converted by this website. I will have to learn more about all the topics you mentioned. Thank you both

    I had never saved them after I traced....I would just open the jpg, png, etc in the trace format to cut. I just saved this image from online, just to test ( Billabong)...traced it.....then it cut twice on me I sent an image to an online converter & it cut fine, yet cut a box around it.

    Wow, okay. Thank you Question 1- why could I cut this decal without issues several different times, and not now. Question 2- this seems to be happening with only images I use the trace function on? Question 3 How do I go back and cut these decals now? I had always traced every time I needed to cut them.

    I have attached the file. Hopefully it is the .SVG you wanted. I was aware when I purchased this about the Mac. I had a friend that had researched the unit and purchased it & used it without any issues. I have cut easily 1000 stickers since I purchased it. no issues. Only one has been this. multi cutting I truly do appreciate the assistance from everyone trying to find a solution. Wake_Surf_540_art.svg

    Yes it is. I just reinstalled the program and it triple cut an image?!? I have a mac. No recent updates. ...when I hit test on the cutter it single cuts the test image

    Need Help - Double cutting the image!

    Okay... I let me see if I can help make sense of all this. I have done this same process dozens of times. I open the program, click the Autotrace icon (because it works on jpgs) then cut the sticker. Close the program (do not save the project) and do the same thing over again next time I open the program again. Yet the past two times, i have tried to cut, I have had this issue. Plus it is cutting the paper on the second cut?....If it was cutting the image again it shouldn't cut the paper backing because it didn't the first time, to me, its cutting the paper because there is more pressure? I am sorry, I do not understand the lingo of Nodes. I have no idea what a single node edit is. I just tried it with an image I had not previously cut & it is doing the same thing. Again, settings for multi cut are off Thank you all for helping a newbie through this.

    Need Help - Double cutting the image!

    I apologize, I do not understand wire frame & nodes...I am just learning with this kind of stuff. This has been happening on images that I have cut in the past numerous times without any issues. So I open up SCAL3 and select my image to trace. Plus when it cuts the second time it seems as though it is cutting with more pressure because it slices the paper on the second pass.
  10. I have a MH871-MK2 I have had my cutter since late winter and had no issues cutting lots of stickers. The past two times I have tried to cut, it is double cutting the sticker. The second cut is much harder it seems as it is cutting through the backing paper as well. I looked on the settings and do not have double cut selected. I checked software for updates...nothing. reset program, I cannot seem to get it to stop doing this. Any help would be great please! i have to make some stickers asap and this is preventing me because it ends up shredding everything when the backing gets sliced.
