Hi
Im new to this plotter world and I have been practicing a little. Some of the times it will cut fine, some others it would do whatever it "wants". I have a USCutter MH 721 and it wont "listen" to me.
I open a design in signcut and then I go to the plotter and mark the Origin to be close to the vinyl border (so I dont waste any of it) of course leaving enough space for the wheels and so. The thing is that as soon as I hit Cut out the blade starts moving and the vinyl starts moving forward and the blade starts cutting way outside the vinyl area and way down, not at the beggining of the vinyl roll as I specified. What could be wrong? What is it that I am not doing fine?
I have successfuly cut letters and frases I've done my self, but if I upload an art already made, like a clip art or vector image, it would do what I have just described. I have played with the settings but nothing seems to work.
I will really appreciate any help you can give me. I have a few orders waiting for me to solve this.
THANk YOU!!!
