JessXEmoji 46 Posted December 12, 2013 Lol Ive never seen this problem brought up here. But I started cutting 6 decals at once today, the same thing. It was taking a while so I jumped on the internet on the same computet to look around. When my decals finished it had unfinshed decals and ziggy lines going though 3 of them. Its never done that before. And the only thing I did different was surf the web while it was cutting. So I closed the browser and tried again and it cut perfect. So Im guessing surfing the web while cutting is not a good idea? It made my cutter go nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,298 Posted December 12, 2013 reasons like that is why I have a dedicated cutter computer that is not on the net - that and no viruses take the business out of action when I need it the most! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted December 12, 2013 Never had that happen or heard of that happening to anyone before. I am guessing you have a "value cutter". Your web browser must have been taking up a lot of the available memory which caused this to happen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 12, 2013 I cut and surf all the time, That is how I answer questions on here, while I'm cutting. Never a problem... and I'm running an older XP laptop... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sending it back to them and going through the exchange process is taking forever. Almost 4 weeks and i still dont have what i bought and they made me pay to ship it back.

Jesse - 1 gb is fine for a cutting computer only but if you are doing other things it is just too little. cutters requite very little resources to run but other programs requite much more taxing the system. One of my favorite quotes from the old days is hardware makes your system fast, software slows it down. One of the big drains on any system is the anti virus software but for any connected computer it is a must 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,298 Posted December 12, 2013 Heck I remember getting the first TRW-80 in when I sold them - save programs on cassette tapes - found that the dream audio system i had set up in the store, with a little equalizer adjustment, made copies of the programs pretty good. Think I may still have the tapes somewhere LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted December 13, 2013 We were an Atari family 2600 7800 800. Even had pong back in the day but all that changed when nintendo came along. Anybody remember ColecoVision?

JessXEmoji 46 Posted December 13, 2013 I SPOKE to soon. They problem came back on the same project. I had to cut 20 4"x3" logos. so I added 6 at a time in SCAL and once it makes it to the 4th one is does not finish then cuts a line across the vinyl until it goes back to the home position. Wont even try and cut the 5th and 6th decal. So I only try to cut 3 at a time and it does fine. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petroman2012 168 Posted December 15, 2013 I have had a similar issue with my LPII but my issue was 1 LARGE memory hog image everytime, it cuts and stops part of the way through..ticked me off, scale it down and it would work ok, BUT I also found if I run SCALP and start a project and decide to skip that one and START a new project it would cut and stop near end of job for some reason, found if I make a mistake and start a new project I better close the app and reload SCALP as some reason it doesn't clear from its virtual mem holding god knows how much of my memory hung up on the previous project to where I have to remember to close and reload the SCALP, don't know why it wont dump its grasp of memory but that's the only thing I have come up.....
