 Re: Vinyl off tracking
8 ft should not be a problem for a cutter!
I run a Mimaki cutter in my sign business..........it will run 100 ft dead true.
Start looking at the simple things first......are you using all the pinch rollers? ( the wheels that hold the vinyl), are they set above the grit rollers? .
Make sure that you are loading the vinyl straight, if it is on a roll and your cutter has a vinyl roll holder it is easier........you will never be able to set up for a long run by eye.
It is strange that it feeds through straight when it is not cutting.........as the others have said make sure that the blade is adjusted correctly ( and free to rotate in its holder)and that the pressure is just heavy enough to cut the vinyl.
hope this helps.
