I just got my vinyl plotter yesterday. I got it all set up and everything else. When I go to cut out my decal, the corners instead of being nice and crisp, they are sort of rounded. What can I do to fix this?
Before you ask the brand, yes it is one off eBay. Yes, I know it’s probably junk but this is just a part time thing and I didn’t want to spend money on a name brand one. I have had one off eBay before and I didn’t have these problems.
This brand is a Seiki. It came with Sign Cut for the software. When I hit the test button on the plotter, the corners are really nice and crisp on that. But when I go to cut from the Software, they are rounded. It’s not a whole lot but it’s not crisp and it’s noticeable.
Look at the software and see if it has a stroke editor or something similar. There should be some sort of editor that lets you choose round corners or square. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Look at the instructions for your cutter and see if it says anything about how to adjust the blade OFFSET. If the blade offset is set incorrectly it will either round off corners or exaggerate them (like little tails).
