AotS 0 Posted May 10 Has anyone seen a cutter do this (supposed to be Trajan Pro font)? I'm using Sure Cuts A Lot but graphically, it's fine on-screen. The TEST cut pattern on the vinyl cutter works perfectly. It's only when I send a file to cut/draw does it do this. It seems to.add a little serif-style flourish to every corner of an image. I'm stumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,229 Posted May 11 Has anyone seen a cutter do this (supposed to be Trajan Pro font)? I'm using Sure Cuts A Lot but graphically, it's fine on-screen.

I'm stumped. From what I can find when I search for Trajan Pro, it is a serif font. Though I would be concerned about all the squiggly lines happening. You might need to convert the font to lines (or curves), so it's no longer a font, but vector lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kainth.c.s 56 Posted May 14 As Haumana said, the plotters cut best with the drawing sent as vector file. I have struggled with these problems with years with the solution I finally hit on as saving the file as two-Fonts for reference to the clients and show ups and vector file as machine file. Looking at the image sent by you, it seems to me: 1. Your outside boundary is double lined. 2. The profile might be made up of too many small points which are taken as independent shapes by the cutter. Remember, every time the file is converted and taken from one software to another, the number of shapes increase. For example, I have seen it on a daily basis that every passage the file from Flexi sign to AutoCAD (I use them) splits every arc into two. I can have a look at the file and get back to you if you are good enough to send it to me as a pdf if your software allows the same to be exported as PDF. 3. One more thing to check out is the amount of cutter exposure (out of the holder). In cutters, the blade or knife is held in by through a bearing using a magnet at the end. So, if the blade it way too out, then it creates pressure on the tip thereby making it to resist the movements of the belt which causes these types of shapes to appear. Again, I can have a look at the file if you can send it to me. If suits, please forward it to kainth.c.s@gmail.com as I am a bit irregular in monitoring this forum. I will reply it to you in the same forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
