Yeah! So that's it. I separated the ContourCut and it shows it as it's being exported (wrong for the job...), not what I though was being shown (cut contour in the middle of the stroke/ bleed). So it seems this is a case of crap in, crap out on my part. It's weird that when I selected the...

Hi Weyandsign. I just gave that a shot. -Exported the file from Flexi as .eps (option to include cut lines checked) -opened in VW. Looks to be the same error as before (no test print yet, but I will try) -opened in Illustrator. Looks to be the same error as before (cut line in the wrong spot)...

When I installed the VW software, there was an export feature that gets built into Flexi. I highlight what I want to send to RIP, and press the VW button. I open VW and the selection is there. It does send it as an EPS. See screenshot of button. _______ From Zoogee's suggestion: I exported...

I have not. This 'great value flexi' is my daily driver - I've done all my designs and run the cutter from it. I've only dabbled with .ai, but I'll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestions

I did print it, which prompted looking into the issue. It prints just like the preview - no middle in the A, the lines between the T & U have been merged and eliminated. It's almost like VW is moving the cut line to the full thickness of the bleed? Is there a tolerance setting or something...

I've got a file that I created in Graphtec Pro Studio (Graphtec's free Flexi variant). It is a solid color, with a stroke on the outside. I added a cut contour where I want the cuts, and left a bleed area for the printing process. The second pic shows this. When I bring it into VW (first...

Yes! I've been doing the due-diligence and studying the options. The BN-20a 20" width (18.5" printable) was a common complaint. The Mutoh 24" might not be much better for printable material (still need printable material rolls cut down) but it prints the full 24". My Graphtec is a CE6000-60...

Thank you both for the comments. The price was low ($1100), but the sellers were super sketchy / meth people. I had a bad feeling on the whole situation from the start, and they canceled on me at the last minute. After I was scrambling to find a box truck... It would have been a fun come-up...

I was shopping for a BN-20a, then came across a CJV150-75. I do laser and vinyl cutting, this will be my first solvent printer. I went to see the machine: -it was plugged in -there was no cleaning cartridge installed. -all 8 of the ss21 ink expired in December -I powered it up and it found the...
