Vinyl Feeding & Tracking
Why is my vinyl not feeding properly into the cutter?
Vinyl feeding problems are commonly caused by:
- Dirty or worn pinch rollers
- Incorrect roller alignment
- Vinyl thickness outside the machine’s supported range
These issues often build up gradually and are easy to overlook.
Fix:
- Clean pinch rollers regularly
- Align rollers correctly
- Load vinyl straight
- Stay within supported material limits
Can worn rollers or cutter parts cause misaligned vinyl cuts?
Yes. Worn rollers, loose blade holders, or alignment drift can cause vinyl shifting during cutting. Many long-term users only notice this once finished products start misaligning.
Fix:
- Inspect rollers and blade holders periodically
- Replace worn parts early to maintain consistent accuracy
