MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 16, 2011 This cutter and software does not seem to like me! The pinch rollers are leaving a mark on the vinyl and the vinyl keeps moving over when it's cutting! I don't know what im doing wrong! Can someone please help? all vinyl cutters leave marks on the vinyl. they will disappear when you apply the vinyl. Also, don't have your vinyl cutter pulling the vinyl from the roll, if you are, pull enough vinyl loose and free for the job you are doing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 16, 2011 for less frustration take a few minutes and read the newbie manual under instructional contributions - even old timers learn or get reminded of good info in there 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prototype66 20 Posted April 16, 2011 Definitely unroll the vinyl like Skeeter said! have patience you will be blazing through the work in no time! Also like my buddy DAKota said.....read,read, read! I Learn stuff daily!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzCoDaisy 1 Posted April 19, 2011 Make sure your vinyl is lined up perfectly and don't worry about those pinch roller marks. Also find the sensor and make sure that it is clean and free of debris or material. And like the others said free up that material so they don't have to pull on it. Don't get discouraged. I've been doing this for over 10 years and a few months ago i went through and entire roll of thermoflex trying to cut something detailed that i KNEW my machine could do with the correct settings. That was $34.99 that ill never see again .. but it was a good lesson. It takes a ton of mistakes to get it right sometimes .. so with every one you're getting closer!

thebuttontaylor 1 Posted April 19, 2011 Make sure the center roller is over the friction roller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devnsmom 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks, I'll try that when I get home. I'm getting frustrated because I have to make 100 political signs front and back and I can only cut one at a time because my vinyl will have moved to the other side of the machine after one and it won't be cutting on the vinyl at all!

No offence but I would have subed that out to mumpower to be screen printed. 100 front and back = 200 signs. There is a thread on here to make an item like this that would be invaluable for this: http://www.speedpress.com/products/2/4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
