jeffdpia 0 Posted August 7, 2023 So when I go to cut anything using either CM 4 or 5 out of Illustrator the knife will land in the vinyl proper just before the path start. This knife drop is destructive, leaves a mark and happens every time I go to cut a job. We have taken to making a small circle at the top of the page so the error happens outside of the vinyl job proper. Please feel free to chime in if you have any suggestions about this issue, TY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted August 7, 2023 Is it a tiny little J kind of look? Some of the high end cutters do that on purpose to get the blade going in the proper direction before the actual cut starts. I've not experienced it but have seen it posted here and there is a setting to have the cutter make that pre-cut inside or outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
