Silhouette Cameo - Vinyl Shifting

[Justin]

Cut a few basic designs with my new Cameo, come back to it today and can't stop the vinyl shifting. It almost appears that the rollers aren't gripping properly, they seem tight enough but as the job progresses it seems to move slightly.

Anyone any ideas on how to stop this?

If you dont get it in dead straight with the guide on the left, it can come from under the roller and go wonky, you can move the right roller in a bit ~(even if they dont sit in the holey bit) but it will mark the edge where it goes.
This is why i prefer to use a mat with it unless doing over 24" of course.

Everything dead straight, rollers in a little...still moving. Can't understand it. It was fine the other day. I think this vinyl is a little thinner but still should work without the mat surely?

Daft question, but you have put the lever on the right back to up position?
Are you lining it up with the fist short line on the left?
is both sides under the roller fully when you start?
when u got to cut on the top right have you selected vinyl?
Speed 8 thickness 9 blade 1 or 2 and its on blade not pen?

how long is the vinyl you are cutting?

I had this problem and on closer inspection the rollers were slightly out of the grooves. Wouldn't of noticed if I didn't get really close to it.

Uhm, thickness was at 18....not sure how that happened!

Just cut a decent sized design and it's still shifting Maybe I could lower the thickness...does that make a difference?

[Dave271069]

I was led to believe the thickness is to do with the cut, I was having problems once cutting vinyl silver sparkle I rang MDP who told me to adjust the thickness to cut some foils etc, it worked.

Cutting Mat keeps becoming ticked which may or may not be my problem, ok, all set to go again....mat off...it's now saying change blade to 2 so I'll give that a go!
