jnolandesign 0 Posted December 8, 2011 Hey Everyone, Since the weather got cold, I haven't had too much call for vinyl. But I got a job thankfully and I am having cutter issues. Just simple text, "GARAGE" - Text was set in illustrator, saved as an eps, imported into sign blazer. I set 4 up, went to cut - first 2 letters - great then on the R's the third one the cutter dragged the blade clear across the sheet dropped cutting that letter all together, started on another letter etc. So instead of 4 sets of letters now only have 2 usable ones. I am using a windows machine, with serial usb adapter,cut speed 800, pressure 30, upspeed 380, baud 4800. Cutter is the mh871. I'd like to be doing more on this but I am not confident of selling anything with these problems. Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted December 8, 2011 Is your cutter grounded properly? Especially in the colder weather when the air gets drier, static is a problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted December 8, 2011 If it's just text, why don't you just do it all in SignBlazer? It cuts out the export/Import steps all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcedar 1 Posted February 14, 2015 Did this problem ever get resolved? I am having the same problem. Machine is grounded to the stand, I am using SCAL3pro, etc. I have connected through USB and Serial and still the same problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
