question about my cutter?
Hi I am using a Seiki T Series cutter and have found a wealth of information to help me here.
I make small graphics that my father uses for sandblasting.
some of them have very small lettering and I have been having trouble getting my machine to cut them.
But after reading these forums I turned my speed from 200 to 80 and my pressure from 140 to 80.
That helped significantly but I am having a problem that I haven’t seen addressed here (though I probably just do not know the terminology well enough to see what I need).
When I make a vector to cut for my dad and I make a single copy to test it in the cutter , it works fine. But then if I make a long line of those decals instead of cutting them one at a time my cutter goes back and forth cutting one line here and one line there taking a lot longer than it would if it just cut them all in a row.
Is there a setting for controlling this or am I doing something wrong in the design phase?
Again I apologize if this is a question that has been addressed before and if it has just point me to the thread. Thanks

Hi Mark
yes, it lies at the design / software stage.
Depending on what software you are using, you should be able to group the design (as 1 item) – then make an array of them. If that doesn’t do it, some programs (such as Signlab) have a ‘cut order’ function to manually assign what it cut next (instead of the order it was drawn in).

I see so the first one I draw is the first cut?
So when i duplicated the design into a double and then duped that into a quad and so forth, what I needed to do was individually paste each one singularly so they will be cut in sequence?
Thanks for your response
