humidade 2 Posted October 2, 2012 I bought a machine in Ebay.co.uk cutting MH721 vinyl, with its cutting software signcut => http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270996084890?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_14889wt_754 But what happens after much struggle to install, after some self-tests, I Drawing in program Corel Draw X5, for example: "Paula" with 4 cm long and 1 cm in height, and the machine has space cut 63 cm and comes to occupy more often than that, knocking on walls! I start to get a little desperate with the situation, since neither the source program can fathom! Any help here? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 2, 2012 The #1 problem here seems to be a lack of English skills (which is odd, considering it's a fairly common language in the UK). No offense, humidade, but we can't fathom what you're asking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted October 2, 2012 I like Slice&Dice's humor & no offense should be taken IMO . Hum , I would go over the settings in the software & cutter to make sure no periods are involved , settings are mutual as far as inches etc . You might want to buy the " Sure Makes A Lot " design?cutting software USCutter just started selling ( $59 ) . It will be highly supported here , by SCAL & USCutter also . you can download SIgnBlazer for free & try it . It will do most anything you need except newer EPS files .It has no support out of this forum & member Mobby ( Mike O'Brian ) . It may be that the used cutter you bought is in need of repair .I can furnish you a member that can remote into your computer & check out all the settings etc for a modest fee .He uses CorelX5 & does electronic repairs .You need somebody who can either come over to your place or remote in to find the problem much easier .

slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 3, 2012 Yeah, sometimes my "humor" isn't appreciated. What can ya do? I've also noticed the software disk from US CUTTER "SureCutsALot" (SCAL v3) and investigated it here and there. I sure like the fact it does decent vector conversions, that's worth the $60 right there, along with the library of shapes and the ability to add to the library as you go along. Next time I order some vinyl or app tape or banner material, I'll ask USCUTTER to add that CD into my shipment, and I'll give it a workout at my sign store. I like using a really simple interface, and SCALv3 certainly has that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nt86 0 Posted October 21, 2012 I am having a similar issue where certain files are not cutting. Same exact errors almost every time too. Even plain text in signcut will drive the blade up a wall sometimes. I can't figure out why it will cut an entire QR code, and then freak out at the end, or why it can cut a word, but it cant cut anything with the "/" symbol in it. Also cut the biohazard symbol successfully with text, but without the text, it will start doing unexplainable nonsense towards the end of the cut, oftentimes ruining a lot of my vinyl. Any help is greatly appriciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
