Default Roland GX24 cutting problem...

Hi guys,

I just got my Roland plotter up and running, and when i am cutting text for example, the lines seem a bit "wiggly". There not bad at all, just a little less clean compared with my other cutter. I have checked the text in corel and it looks fine, and have also tried adjusting cutting depth.

Any ideas?

Are you talking about when just doing vinyl or when doing print-cut? The print-cut application does need to be cleaned up some times depending on the graphic. Not sure what the problem would be with just cutting vinyl.

GX-24 manual says blade exposure should be thickness of material + 1/2 thickness of backing material. Now unless you have a pair of calipers, that might be a bit difficult to gauge, so, for what it's worth, you gotta play with it. I start with the credit card (though I use the full thickness of a credit card) and play with my force setting and that seems to work great.
