I'm sure you've been doing this long enough to know to make sure the vinyl is lined up straight.  The only other thing I would suggest is make sure the pinch rollers tension are the same for each one.  Also do you run the "show me" in flexi before cutting and if so doesn't the vinyl track ok then?

the i can say the artwork is defintely okie

the vinyl is more then required

problem is drifting

model is mh1351

i tried putting whole rol of 50in oracal 651 series vinyl which is longer the the 2 poles.

I'd check the pinch rollers.  The "show me" actually runs the length and width of the cutting area before it cuts to show you if your tracking is ok.  It's on the middle left side of production mananger.

thanks i feeded the vinyl which is more then required

example the a rectangular box need 100in by 30 in

i feed in 120 in of vinyl and 40 in of vinyl

which is more then enuff and the vinyl still drift severly just check the rollers the rubbers adjusting the tension with the roller clamp down surprise to find out when tension is set tight with my hand holding on to the metal rolling bar the bar did not rotate but the pinch roller rubber can rotate ... i gt 4 pinch roller 1 pinch roller while clamp down the rubber can move ...

so i did not use the fault pinch roller...

so i end up using other 3 and the vinyl still drift ..

i follow the marking of the indicator front and back of the USCUTTER Very STRAIGHT even thou not everything is 100%

it will drift i agree... but also not to the extent of so much ...

mostly those graphic i done require at least 100in by 22in  choose this 50in uscutter course can make bigger car graphics

but those cut i performs many art work DID not join due to vinyl drifting or when the metal roller performing cutting actions that time is not in a smooth motion compare to ROLAND or MIMAKI i used b4

this USCUTTER cuts in a JERKY motion EG move front fast slows down move front and slows down AGAIN??

while this uscutter came i sold off my ROLAND GX-24

which i think is quite a damn stupid thing i did  :(

i had many work JAM due to this problem

and my 1st job with this plotter i gt complains unfinish cuts .. which customer complain on a car 25in by 120in 2 color  red and grey..

I REALLY HOPE SOME1 FROM USCUTTER CAN HELP ME ON this

i do understand that price wise is a lot cheaper but i expect some quality too noise is not a issue as long as can get the job done i am happy  :(

Make sure that the carriage is on its tracks, sometimes during shipping it will come off the tracks and still go through the cutting motions, but cause eratic cutting.
