I have a Roland Stika 15 I bought it brand new from Specialty Graphics about a year ago. Its been awesome! I started having some cutting issues so I changed the blade and I'm still having problems. Its cutting unevenly. Example: if I cut the word BLADE the B & L will come out fine, but then the rest wont be cut all the way through (some times its a jagged cut). I keep trying to adjust the blade, but there doesn't seem to be a fix? Also it seem to be cutting on an angle sometimes and also double cuts sometimes? Has anyone had any expierence with this? Should I re-install? Is the machine going bad? Is it me? Any and ALL help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! Keely
If you are cutting regular vinyl, make sure you are using a 45 degree blade. Stikas aren't really meant to cut thicker vinyl, only standard really. Make sure the blade is not too high in the blade holder, or too low.
The uninstall & reinstall didn't seem to make any difference.
We only cut "regular vinyl". We are cutting easy weed t-shir vinyl. And we did check & replaced the cutting strip.
I called Specialty Graphics again and they suggested replacing my blade holder. It should arrive today. Hopefully this will fix the problem. Thanks to all!
Roland Stika 15 is cutting wrong?!?!?
