Newbie Cutting for First Time - Need Help with Multiple Cuts

[tailslid1 0]

Ok, so I just got my CE5000-60 set up this weekend. Making my first cuts.

I'm using Illustrator CS5 and Cutting Master.

I have my corporate logo set up to cut, I send the job, and it cuts great.

When the cut finishes, the Graphtec stops right where the cut finished.

How do I form feed, or feed the vinyl forward so I can cut it off? Then how do I get it to create a new origin point so it starts in the corner when the next job is sent?

I read the manual, but it didn't really address this procedure.

Thanks!

hit the button that will tell you it's "off line" and then use the arrow buttons to advance the vinyl and reposition the blade to your next starting poing.

Is there a way to make it auto advance far enough to manually cut it along the cutting mat?

What does everyone else do to get their project cut from the roll?

Thanks.

You can but you still have to pull it back a bit or just take care not to zero it out or cur the vinyl too short and when you go back "on line" it'll go back to where it was.

To cut vinyl I use one of those plastic letter openers that you often see as swag at trade shows, sometimes you can find large ones people insert a single business card into, there are all kinds out there on the market.

Get the hang of using the grooves on the area that the vinyl slides across as a cutting guide to cut straight.
