I plan on trying his trick asap. I have to find my desk and get some bs out of the way first. Will let you guys know. I REALLY appreciate all the help.

Thanks guys. I tried messing with the area but wasn't sure. Will try again on .4 like you said. I am drawing on paper to try so will not hurt anything.

Yeah, I know. I was hoping you veterans had a trick up you rsleeve.

If I could size it down it would work. I begged for 20" material but boss said they didn't make it????? It seems wrong to me but I have no clue. Normally we just cut the bottom and sides and hand cut top line and top radius corners. Total pain. There was one job with over 30 signs. We just...

It is an FC5 100-75 Try it? are you kidding? He might get dirty. I make $5.60/hr guys. We are a SMALL company. OSHA would have a field day in here. I need to get around it the cheap way. I appreciate the advice. I am just frustrated.

Uh, ok there are rubber "guide rollers" on top and on the bottom a metal like gripper roller that actually moves the material back and forth. My rpoblem is that I am not able to set the rubber rollers on the material far enough. The small amount of travel I am getting (the sign is 114x18) is...

What kind of adjusting? I have them set above the bottom roller. I know that the reason I am losing my material is because I have them too far out on the edges but is there anything I can do to widen the material?? My boss expects a 17" sign cut on 18" film. If I cannot make this work he...

I need help too. I have a graphtec plotter and I am cutting 3M electrocut film and it keeps slipping out from under the rollers. I am cutting 17" wide on 18" film so I have the rollers on the edges. I know that's the problem but how else am I supposed to get a correct cut on both ends and...

What do you need? I might be able to help. I am having my own plotter trouble (material will not track properly) but I know why and am looking for solutions to make it work. Have been using a plotter for 1.5 years. I might have had your problem. :rolleyes:

My Electrocut film is creeeping and destroying my signs. It was ok till today. Normally we have a bit of trouble but nothing like this! Please help my boss is going to kill me!
