BAM 35 Posted September 17, 2014 It gets scaled up 2 in ever time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,714 Posted September 17, 2014 There is a .1(point 1) on each side of the panel left and right. Top and bottom.. Mine is the same way..Every order if example I cut 10" x 15" in the size area will read 10.2" x 15.2" Then it is not close to the side. You would have to change the panel size to get away from that You can see there is a gap on the left and right side of the lettering. .Is that what you are referring to?

MZ SKEETER 4,714 Posted September 17, 2014 Why do you have your media user defined at size 8" wide.??.. I always leave mine at the 29.9,(my cutter is a 30") no matter what I cut,or size of vinyl roll..,, unless I am making copies of something small..on piece of scrap, with a narrow width..... I don't understand that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand that... I have a 48 in cutter but I make it 8 because the roll is 8in . is it better to keep in the size of the cutter .. ( roughly) ?

I don't understand that... Also if I want to say move the lettering or whatever i'm cutting to say the center of the roll I can't just hit the center button if its set at 47 in it will put it in the center of my cutter because it will think that i have 47 in of material to cut.. would it not?

MZ SKEETER 4,714 Posted September 18, 2014 I just move the cutter head with the arrow buttons and hit ORIGIN,, It will start cutting there... I don't hit any center button... I have a Graphtec.... And I don't use 8" rolls only 15", 24" and 30 " x 50 yd.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAM 35 Posted September 18, 2014 I can do that as well but what i do is set it at the size of material i' m using then i'll set the origin at the beginning of my roll then say if I want to cut it in the middle all i have to do is is click the centering button from the Cut\Plot menu and hit align left right center or whatever orientation I want\need without having to touch the arrow keys on my cutter. It works Fine for me Also It makes it easier to remind myself whether or not i'll be cutting something too big\ small So when i send something through to cut and it bleeds over the edges I'll know I made It too big Or that I'll need to change the roll.

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted September 18, 2014 I often design with my workspace the size of my vinyl so I can see get the most out of my material. Shirt vinyl for instance. I don't cut from my design though so I always import into Signcut and cut it that way. Old habits die hard but I rarely waste vinyl by sticking to my system. Unless I forget to mirror my HTV. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
