cutter moving as if cutting but not!!

Posted by Tracey Vaughan on June 11, 2009 at 4:53 pm

firstly can i thank you for all your previous help,after months of messing and just about to give up i eventually got my cutter working wippee!!!
i was over moon it seemed i had to many cutting software on the computer which was confusing the cutter,
any way been practicing on scraps of normal vinyl and seemed to cut ok think i need to slightly change settings as not cutting all way through,
so when i put t shirt vinyl the cutter is making all the cutting motions but not cutting through the vinyl any help as normal would be great thanks

Garment vinyl is thicker so it needs more pressure

Look at the lettering in your program with no fill and see where the lines come from. Do they overlap and if so did you do a "weld" to create a new outline. if you explain things a bit better people will help more I would say.

Reading your post why have you "Too many cutting program’s? I wonder.
Anyway if you read the help files in these it will explain everything that is if they have the help files with them.

sorry by to many cutting programs i mean i got one with the cutter, i downloaded a couple of free trial ones, and because none would work i bought a couple to try, but i did not take all of them off the computer and try one at a time because some were downloads, then i thought sod it took all of them off and the first one i tried on its own worked.
because i am not technical i only outline questions short as to receive a short uncomplex replies if that makes sense.
as i said in another post i have opened a small t shirt printing shop so this forum has been a life line to me in the help i have received, unfortunately their is no guide book on any business and all the question helps others as well as those who ask them.
again thank you
