sorry Robben I know nothing about creation P cut other than a lot of people have had similar trouble in the past so do a search on previous threads may shed some light on your technical issues – however my best suggestion Roben would be to stick an intro post in the say hello forum which will generate more help im sure

It was the first plotter, I purchased, and I did not have too many problems, but can relate to some of your frustrations, due to the type of motor used in the P cut "step motor" opposed to a more expensive cutter" servo" and the latter is more accurate. The problem you seem to be having is the feed, suggest you un-roll the vinyl, so the plotter does not have to work to hard pulling the vinyl into the machine, slow the speed of the machine way down and monitor whats going on. be interested to hear how you get on.

It is a problem when you buy the cheaper cutters and they dont seem to work perfectly but often is lack of experience as much as anything. Many people seem to think its an option to print money (not saying you do) and they dont realise its cheaper to get started but you cant buy talent and experience.

I dont have experience of the more expensive cutters so I dont know if they pull the vinyl of a roll without problems.

I can speak for Liyu, Creation and they need the vinyl flaked most of the time.
