  1. Question Which forum would be appropriate for this type of question?

    I had some success for once, using a diluted Jacquard brand ink, Pinata being the product name, diluted with their extender to a 50:50 ratio and applied with overlapping strokes. I have started this and the client is happy with it, so I guess it's ended well. here's what it looks like: So I...
  2. Question Which forum would be appropriate for this type of question?

    Yeah, I looked into a product by Kapco for sand masking and the price was, uh...10 yds for $195? wow. In the future I'm gonna try some Ultra-Cut II which I hear is pretty good. I mean, oramask 813 is flawless on smooth surfaces, even a little bump every now and then it can handle. But that...
  3. News Warning for everybody in this forum

    I was going to purchase a part from dutaprint for my cutter. Changed my mind after doing a few searches.
  4. Question Which forum would be appropriate for this type of question?

    Okay, guess I'll post here. I am a mural artist/painter by trade and I am currently working on a ceiling project using my 1st cutter to produce stencils to mask a pattern that I then paint onto said ceiling. My issue is twofold, one being, the stencil material I am using: Oramask 813. I wish...
  5. Question Which forum would be appropriate for this type of question?

    Hello, I was wondering which forum would be a good place to post a question regarding the use of vinyl stencils on a ceiling? I have run into a couple of issues with my current project and wanted to see if anyone could help, but I'm wary of posting in the wrong subforum.
  6. Question: Still new to vinyl cutting. Sawtooth or jagged edges on Vinyl Cuts?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I may...*MAY* being based on my income level at the time, may just get a print/plot solution. I currently own a dinosaur HP designjet that is built like a tank (and just as slow) and its younger sibling who is below a home-made shelf/mount. I think tossing three...
  7. Question: Still new to vinyl cutting. Sawtooth or jagged edges on Vinyl Cuts?

    Okay so after disassembly and re-assembly, there are no broken wheels, and the plotter is cutting much better. It seems there was some adjustments needed, but everything appears to be working well again. I am wondering if there are just certain parts that are wearing down and reaching their...
  8. Question: Still new to vinyl cutting. Sawtooth or jagged edges on Vinyl Cuts?

    Wow, good suggestions. I am going to disassemble the cutting head tonight and take a close look at the wheels.
  9. Question: Still new to vinyl cutting. Sawtooth or jagged edges on Vinyl Cuts?

    XtremeXccessories: So I changed out the old blade today. Same issue. Below is the test I ran. I also ran an offset test in VinylMaster Cut 4.0 which is what I am using. The test is below, but I believe the machine offset is currently set at 0.54. Balstestrat: I have linked a video here...
  10. Question: Still new to vinyl cutting. Sawtooth or jagged edges on Vinyl Cuts?

    Hey all, Thank you for the responses. I just cleaned the heck out of the machine, making sure to remove any dirt from the platen and pinch rollers, and generally clean the cutter head. I did not find any buildup of residue on the knife holder end and added some thin oil to the blade holder tip...
  11. Question: Still new to vinyl cutting. Sawtooth or jagged edges on Vinyl Cuts?

    Greetings, I am still fairly new to vinyl cutting, and everyday I learn something new. Im using a Mutoh Kona 1400 and Oramask 813 film to make stencils. I recently noticed I am getting more "sawtooth" edges on curves where I was previously printing smooth, clean curves. How should I handle...
  12. Need Help Switched to a copy of Vinyl Master Pro, now my MUTOH is cutting way too small

    Ok, was able to do a hard reset on my plotter. Checked the resolution in the settings, and updated the mm in Ok, after checking my plotters settings, apparently the printers firmware has become corrupted. I have found the latest firmware for the machine on Mutoh's FTP site and updated it...
  13. Need Help Switched to a copy of Vinyl Master Pro, now my MUTOH is cutting way too small

    Yes, I did. In fact, this is where the issue with the machine behaving strangely occurred. I changed the "Device Units per mm" from the default of "1016" per mm that was in the box, to the "39.37" indicated on that page. When I did a test cut, it was way off. The test square on the screen was...
  14. Need Help Switched to a copy of Vinyl Master Pro, now my MUTOH is cutting way too small

    I am using a secondhand MUTOH Kona 1400 which I was using with "easy cut studio" previously and cutting rather well. I switched to a version of Vinyl Master Cut, and now all of a sudden my plotter appears to be cutting nearly -120% smaller than it should. Quick example: I create a new...
  15. Need Help Easy Cut Studio - Scaling issue?

    Hello, I am using Easy Cut studio which to me seems rather basic and no-frills. Today I tried to cut a 30" wide simple lettering banner on a roll of oramask and sent the data to my Mutoh Kona 1400. The machine started cutting, but right away I noticed it was cutting outside the required...
