happytree 0 Posted November 17, 2014 I am trying to create a large (44") graphic of a globe with children around it for my church's new nursery building. I have a 24" COPAM 2500 machine. I haven't used it much in a while and when I did, I never really did anything large enough to have to piece together. Actually I think I've done it before but can't remember how I made it work. I cut both pieces of this thing out and where they are supposed to meet, there is about a half inch gap! I tried placing in scraps of vinyl and cutting it with an Exacto but it looks terrible and will not hold up to children walking by it and touching it in a hallway, I'm afraid. I had changed the setting that says "tile overlap" to around 1/3 of an inch (or so I thought), thinking that this would allow it to be pieced much easier, but now I'm wondering if it did the opposite??? Or was there some other setting I was supposed to change? I just tried making my rollers spaced just slightly larger and cutting one tile again, thinking that I could get more on this piece and it might be able to meet, but it looks exactly the same! Before I print tile 2, is there anything I can do to help this thing come together?? I hate to waste any more vinyl! Thanks, Allison P.S. I've attached a picture of the graphic. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I need this thing finished ASAP as we have our grand opening this weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happytree 0 Posted November 17, 2014 I just had a thought.....maybe I just tried to make this thing too big. Since my max width is about 22", I just doubled it to make 44". What if I made it a couple of inches smaller? I'm just thinking that maybe it just cut all it could fit into the roughly 22".....does that even make sense??

pshawny 410 Posted November 17, 2014 Make graphic 44". Cutter >>> Setup >>> Now set the "Vinyl Size" to 22.5" and the "Tile Overlap" to 1". See if that does the trick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
