If the circle is not complete, but the printer is printing images fine (normally if the media is not loaded properly and the rollers are slipping, then it won't print or cut properly), then I think you should try to adjust your offset value.

hi and thx for the reply 
its odd where the problem could lie. Today after posting this thread, i made a few jerseys similar to the "braves" logo.
2 color logo, but obviously not a perfect circle. the logo cut perfect, no issues with the weeding at all, or the cut.
my problem is when i hit certain fonts like times for example. the letters dont finish and its very time consuming to weed. almost not worth it.
the offset is something ive played with, when i had Roland support on the phone. It didnt matter how much i added or took off it did the same for the circle, but the square went from horn corners to rounded corners.
although the test cut, straight from the machine should give me a perfect circle no matter what. it still doesnt.
Also i can understand it could be an issue on how i load the material, but ive also tried a sheet insted of a roll, so the weight of the roll is not a factor. i also prefed the sheet to make sure it was straight.
again thx for the help guys. im gonna try more troubleshooting with the tips provided

A couple things.....make sure your using the 45 degree blade, with thinner material the cut speed could be slowed down if it's really cutting fast or bunching up around the cuts, one other thing a Roland tech told us is a drop (only one) light oil (think sewing machine oil) in where the ball bearing in the blade holder will help a lot, your pressure should be at 60 for heat press vinyl.hi and thx for the reply
