tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 I keep having this problem. Is it the space is to close? I've changed blades and it's still doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 17, 2014 what is the material you are cutting? looks like it might be a thick laminated print. what blade are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 BTW this is a Mimaki CJV30-130. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 It's 3M IJ180-C Vinyl with a 30 degree blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 17, 2014 cleancut 60 degree and oil the holder shroud cut thru about anything. it is catching like too much blade, not turning freely and maybe to fine for a 30 degree blade. so it isn't laminated and is tearing? why a 30 degree blade?

tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 That's what came with the machine. Who knows lol. When the Army wants something, they put it out for a bid. The company who won the bid sent us the setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 17, 2014 maybe someone with that set up will have more ideas but I use a 60 degree cleancut in all my holders - sharper and when adjusted properly clean cuts every time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted April 17, 2014 Seems like too much blade and pressure, I just had this issue with the bright orange from stahls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted April 17, 2014 How big is this? 30 deg blade should not be used for something that is laminated and small like this appears to be. But the bigger problem might be how long after printing are you cutting? And is it laminated or just printed? If not laminated your going to need to wait a few hours if not overnight to let it gas before you cut it that that small. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 It's 1/2 inch letters. It's not laminated. It's just regular 3M Scotchcal Vinyl. It's a Mimaki CJV30-130. It prints it and then cuts it so it cuts immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted April 17, 2014 ohhhhh ya, you can not cut on a full bleed like that right after printing. That would need to sit for overnight before it would cut correctly. The vinyl itself will be way to gummy to cut in them corners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 17, 2014 good catch shawn - I wasn't thinking about that = it looked so shiny that I thought it was laminated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 The problem with that on this style is it's hard to get it lined back up to cut it the next day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 17, 2014 I'll set the cutter on the registration marks and cut it, and it's off and not exactly on the print then when I do that. It's so aggravating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 18, 2014 Well I let it sit for awhile before cutting it and it did better, but the centers of the A's are still ripping instead of cutting. Guess I'll have to exactoknife all of the A's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
