plotter fault – not cutting to end of border?

[Nick Minall]

How do you mean Brian, will it miss one side completely or half cut it?

[Brian Little]

one side completely Nick …….always the left

edit – just reread, sorry, me being a numpty 😮

[Brian Little]

no garry its only 550 long and well within range …hang on ill cut something smaller

[Nick Minall]

do you tell it the vinyl size? it may just not be fitted on the vinyl properly and cannot cut it?

[Chris Wool]

best guess is the plot is bigger than the cuttable area a miss match between your softwear and plotter

hmmm tried it on something smaller and it works perfectly …hey tommorows another day it might sort itsellf out …thanks anyway folks 😀

Something I have found is that when a plot file has an area of print within it the start point of the blade wont be quite in the left hand corner but will actually be where the print would start so therefore it can quite often miss cutting the left hand side – if this is the problem then the option that i have is to "reduce frame" within print options of the plot file.

cheers martin ill have a look at that 😀
