    This happens to us sometimes I don’t always know why but sometimes its simply a bit of vinyl stuck to the plotter and this creates a wee are that doesn’t cut?

    The vinyl is loose when going into the cutter

    Sorry Aaron – I mean just a wee tiny bit stuck down on top of the plotter not the actual vinyl being put into the plotter? it makes the blade jump? if you see what I mean?

    If it isn’t completing letters then it is likely to be your ‘blade offset’ settings. Not sure where they are in your software but you need to adjust them and run tests to make sure it is set right.
