New, having difficulties with the vinyl

[btfischer 0]

Hi, I just received my new PCUT plotter with Signblazer software.  I am using Spectra cut vinyl for heat transfer.  The vinyl keeps bunching.  I have read through most of these postings and have tried adjusting everything.  I have tried the blade position as well as the offset(in software) and pressure setting on the cutter.  If it is raised enough not to catch then it doesn't cut the vinyl.  The rollers don't seem to be able to adjust the pressure just the position and I have tried that.  I wasn't even sure of the location of the vinyl roll(I currently have it rested on top of the two roller bars).  Any help would be very much appreciated.  I am starting to think that this is the wrong application or material.....

Think I read in another post that material bunches when it catches on the front lip of the machine. Some have put tape down to stop it from catching, and I heard someone put vinyl down to stop it.

TJ is it the wrong appilication but only because SCII sucks bad and Imprintables knows it and won't admit it.  It is NOT the wrong application for your plotter though.  You can cut heat transfer vinyl no problem with a PCut.  Just to be sure, you are not putting the pinch rollers where the rollers meet are you?  That will make it bunch up.

Thanks for the advice.  I am using thermoflex plus now and it is much better!
