Primal Decals 621 Posted January 15, 2015 I created a Text in scalp3 and when i create my text for example 50" long and make it 6"H and i made sure its not scaled so it will be what i want> when i send to cutter the font is beig cut actually smaller? I cannot figure this out why its doing it and there has been no issues at all when ive done large text cuts before... I havent changed anything that ive done before..I have a bunch of jobs to do and it just wont work normal...Please help if you can..No settings etc have been changed in the software or cutter titan2,its been working perfect till today.. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 15, 2015 How much smaller is it? Doesn't Scalp have something like calibrate cutter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 15, 2015 Or even a scale setting that might have gotten checked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30-284 86 Posted January 16, 2015 Don't use the text size in the text properties box. Make sure you draw a box around the text and go by the size indicated in the position and size properties box. Donn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

88x 74 Posted January 16, 2015 Primal, Most people on here won't judge you about overlooking something or a setting. What did you find? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted January 16, 2015 It wasnt really a matter of overlooking something,but if you must know lol I wasnt paying attention that when i was designing the text in scalps,you see it as left to right.And when it was cutting it goes right to left. So when i made the text 6", i wasnt thinking that the 6" was for the caps N,C,O,R letters ("Nor Cal Off Roaders") only and i wasnt paying attention that the lower case font was 4" . So when it started cutting , the first letter i seen was lower case at 4" and i had 6" in my head and not realizing the first letter cut was the last lol , So everytime i seen the dang 4" letter being cut, and not the 6" i would cancel the process and redo the whole thing thinking i was doing something wrong. Im not going to say how many times i did this lol, but lets just say it wont happen again. I had the biggest Blonde Moment in my life . Im so glad this was my free roll i got from 3m.. One of joys for beeing a newbie still.. Today you can have a laugh on me guys.. Enjoy your day and thanks .Primal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30-284 86 Posted January 16, 2015 Remember, it also will do the same thing with lower case g's and y's, anything that hangs down as well. Donn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rpmrpm 32 Posted January 18, 2015 How much smaller is it? Doesn't Scalp have something like calibrate cutter? SCALP 3 or 4 does have a cutter resolution adjustment. (Cut w/Cutter tab, then settings tab) I was over cutting on 12" alignment marks to 12.39" (approx .033 per inch) and a little trial and error got it spot on.
