Bruisbe 19 Posted September 3, 2013 Hello...I just got my MH series as well a couple weeks ago.... A few things that I have learned off the bat... #1...Make sure you ground your machine to the stand if you are using a stand... #2...Use a serial connection if possible, if not get a USB - Serial converter... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000VYJRY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 #3...If you create your vectors in Adobe Illistrator, and use Sure Cuts a Lot Pro 3...Before cutting...chose the cut by color tab and check to see if there is more than 1 line being cut. Sometimes with AI, it adds a white path to it...Not a big issue...just click on the blade icon to hide it and it will only cut the path once instead of twice...Even if your not using AI, its still a good practice to make sure...Saves time and the potential of something else going wrong. #4...Be patient and prepared to waste some vinyl as you test your blade depth and pressure/speed ratios... #5...Beware of logo's with small/thin parts..When weeding/transfering its very easy to accidently rip those off because they take extra care when pulling off excess vinyl. #6...Get creative and have fun...Remember when you buy large rolls of vinyl...it is relatively cheap...so dont get overly upset if you waste a few feet here and there... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessrey18 0 Posted September 5, 2013 to cut stick flock, what should the cut speed be and what should the cut press be set to. I have the MH Mk2, with SCAL and sticky flock paper and press tape ready to do a rhinestone template. Thanks, Newbie Jess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
