stealth 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Any help would be greatly appreciated as im very new to sign work. Im having problems with my MH1351. For some reason the cutting quality is really bad. Whwn it cuts line they are straight, or sometimes fairly straight (tho bad quality) or it cuts tiny waves instead of straight lines (tho not jagged) Im using the cutter with artcut as thats the software it came with. Ive tried changing the balde incase that was the problem but its no better Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bk2design 1 Posted March 16, 2008 Does the blade spin freely in the holder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 16, 2008 has it ever cut right? Did this problem just start? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stealth 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Yes the blade spins freely and if im honest i'd say its never been a great cutting quality but ive only taken more notice the more i got into doing projects, putting that aside tho, it has got worse in the last couple of days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 17, 2008 I don't know about that particular model,but some refines have been known to arrive with the carraige off track,which would explain what it is doing. Check and make sure the carraiage is on the tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stealth 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Thats was one of the problems but with it back in place im still having no joy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 17, 2008 well, that was my one and only suggestion.Apart from the blade spinning freely which someone beat me to. I'm not familiar with artcut. Why don't you download the trial version of Signblazer(fully functional for 30 days) and see what happens? You can get it here: http://www.colorchromefirst.com/SBE.htm you have nothing to lose.

kenimes 42 Posted March 17, 2008 Is it cutting poorly just from the software, or does the test cut on the cutter itself come out bad as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stealth 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks alot guys, i just put the free trial of SB on my computer and done a random picture and it cut it perfectly. Im gonna try and do a few more just to make sure but i think artcut was indeed the problem. No doubt i will re-post if its not tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 17, 2008 US Cutter sells the signblazer elements on their website (store) at a very low price. You should get it you will be very glad you did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
