crash6882 0 Posted April 17, 2010 I have an HP laptop with windows XP. I'm using inkscape to design, and sign cut pro are my cutting program. I am linking the computer and cutter through serial due to trouble hooking it up through usb. I'm cutting by color. I am having more trouble with the black outline in CRASH. It still does it to the blue, just not as bad. The other one is really bad with the messed up cuts. boat.svg drawing.svg boat.svg drawing.svg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 17, 2010 I sent him photos of his designs zoomed up, not good, lines doubled and crossing over and cutting on top each other He will have to work with his designs first, before they will cut good. Once he has a good design, I'm sure he will have better results. Probably not a cutter problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crash6882 0 Posted April 18, 2010 here is a sample of what it is doing to me. I made this lettering in inkscape using the font then duplicating it to cause a shadow because it will be two colors. I thought that maybe the cutter was set to fast and that's why it was screwing up, I slowed it down and no difference. my settings are 30cm/s, 30 g. if you look at the lettering you see that it did not cut the lettering right and instead of making the right cut it cut the triangle.
