creepoxia 0 Posted January 4, 2021 I'm trying to use a pen attachment to draw an image centred on A4 but it keeps drawing offset to one side. I am setting my origin via the cutter but it seems like the software adds a margin, how do i get it to start exactly where I have the pen head? as you can see in the image the black box is at the bottom of my page but then is offset in the spooler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikemike 711 Posted January 4, 2021 Just a guess here, but try unchecking absolute position. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 5, 2021 Most cutters do not cut right where you put the blade holder/blade They start where the design was first created. Example, I cut very long decals, say 8 ft. My cutter may travel 4 ft on the vinyl, in the center of the vinyl, before it ever starts cutting, but it comes back to the front of the vinyl to finish all of the design. ORIGIN, is where the cutter starts measuring from. X0 Y0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,626 Posted January 5, 2021 The offset in the spooler image shouldn't have any effect on where the cutter cuts. You should be set your design space to the same size as your paper, center your design in your design space then pen right at the corner of the paper and turn on absolute position. Then it's just a matter of making sure you get your paper loaded straight and you should be good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just tried this and if i place it at the edge of the media that's exactly where it cuts! Meaning it's to do with Vinylmaster, at least ive narrowed it down and know its not an issue with the plotter itself. Think ill have to take it up with Vinylmaster support if no one on here knows.
