    a few times ive tried to cut different images

    today ive cut a dragon i downloaded from here

    ive now cut 3 times and 3 dif sizes
    aprox 40 cm long works fine
    65 and 90 cm long it misses the tail well half the tail and some of the details then scores a line through it from front claw through head

    now there cant be any thing wrong with the image as it cuts fine smaller

    so wat the heck and i doing wrong

    the same happened to a celtic footbal club logo still cant do that one over 8 inches

    any ideas appreciated

    Sounds to me like your software is putting anything past a certain size into panels. Check what setting you have for your cutting software and alter the panel sizes. What software are you using?

    Also take a look at what material width you have got set up, this also affects wether your software will automatically put larger images into panels

    Im trying to understand your problem……..is it that you dont want the red square at all? In which case just ungroup the image and delete the red square leaving you with just the dragon, then size it as you want, if necessary rotate the image to fit your vinyl and away you go! Check the max width of your vinyl and make sure you can fit it on.
