OH MY SOUL. This is so annoying! Wonder if there's any way to complain to whoever makes Cutting Master. I just started using it, so hopefully I will not waste TOO much vinyl before I remember to check quantity every time I cut something! :p

Any tips on this? Customer wants a large sign made from a terrible .jpg or whatever that looks great on their business card or website. I thought it was a brilliant idea to enlarge the image on my screen to approximate what the final size would be, then do a screen clip of a section of the logo...

For lettering, you have to "expand" it, or "convert all text to outlines" to be able to see it as wireframe. After you do that, you won't be able to edit it anymore.

Thank you! I've been able to fix the problem. The crucial step I was missing was to DELETE the printer and re-install it.

Hi, we have Onyx Thrive 22.5 with an Epson SureColor 60600. Had a power blip in the middle of printing. When I restarted the software, I got the message, "Invalid settings file 'blahblahblah' in config file! Server will shut down!" I've re-installed the software twice and cleared my Work folder...

Cutting Master is frequently annoying ;-)

I know there are different companies that will rent you a container to pour the ink into, then they pick it up periodically to dispose of it. You'd have to find out which companies are in your area.

Hi! Running a VG2-540. I've run out of cartridge cleaning fluid in the middle of the "tray cleaning" process and realized I have no replacement cartridge. Anything I can do to make the printer stop beeping and be able to print while I wait for replacement cartridges to arrive? Thanks!

Thanks, y'all! Are we the only ones, then, who have a problem keeping vinyl from going off-track with friction-fed plotters? I mean, I can cut 8 or 12 feet on our Graphtec without adjusting, but the Envision sprocket-fed will cut indefinitely long lengths as long as the vinyl edge punch is good...

Hi! We're looking at getting a new sprocket-feed plotter (we've had an Envision 375 for 20 years). From research I've done, it looks like the two important advantages of the Envision vs. the cheaper models are SPEED and the ARMS that hold the vinyl down, keep it from jumping off the sprockets as...

I used to wait 24 hours but stopped after some authoritative person said it wasn't necessary (can't remember who). Didn't have any problems doing that...that I KNOW OF. We have a new printer now.

We started having this problem at maybe 12 years of printer age. Happened multiple times with different heads, just one side would totally drop out. Our very experienced repair person was never able to figure out why. Multiple parts replaced. The only thing we could do in each instance was...

This is my quick and (really not very) dirty method: a vinyl box with 2 cardboard cores resting in the bottom to hold the roll of printed vinyl as it's pulled through the laminator. It's a lot quicker than loading the roll onto a bar that I then would have trouble lifting by myself. I keep a...

I've used narrow strips of sturdy paper or vinyl (also cheap floral ribbon, ha). Tape one end to center of your print, tape the other to your core tube on the takeup.

Yes! Maintenance on this is so minimal and easy. Love it.
