    Good Day...is there a number to call to speak with someone about the technical aspects of the GCC Expert 24 Vinyl cutter? I purchased the cutter and need some technical advice? New to vinyl cutting and understand learning curve and do use the manual from GCC. For example, the
    Letters cut great but I want the vinyl to stay on the sheet with the letters cut but not pulled off the sheet. I want to pull and weed the excess vinyl off the sheet and then apply the sheet onto shirt to heat press. Does that make sense? I want instructions for that process. That's only one many small clarifiers to help a new owner:).
    Another question is there a difference between output versus print. The output seems to work great for cutting out the pieces. I wasn't sure if the print cuts.

    • @HeatPressNation

      GreatCut doesn't accept SVG's, so you'll have to convert to a different format. EPS, PDF, and AI are the most common.

      1) This video covers setup and first cut in depth. You should find the answers here: th-cam.com/video/AgI3D_SeMSQ/w-d-xo.html
      2) Your cutter might not be properly connected. Also, you might not have a vector graphic selected to send to cut.

    Please make a video on the size of the Vinyl not the cutter. I make my images and text smaller than the vinyl but it is always read the wrong way around. My cutter doesn't seem to cut in the area it shows on the screen. I don't understand this machine at all. I have the Great Cut 4 but there are no tutorials on it. Please update instructions.

    What is the best way to go about it if I have something to cut that is bigger than my vinyl? I would want to cut it in 2 separate pieces but also control where the break would be. Also I would like a small bit of overlap. I just cant figure out how this would be done with Great Cut.

    • @HeatPressNation
      @HeatPressNation  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      At 1:10, we briefly cover segmenting large jobs. If you let GreatCut segment your job, there won't be an overlap. It'll split your job up to use the least amount of vinyl on your roll. If you want to segment your job at a particular point, or add some overlap, that'll have to be done in a separate design program.

      @@HeatPressNation Thanks! Im really trying to like GreatCut but I feel like this is more of a downgrade from the software that came with my Silhouette Cameo 2. I upgraded to a GCC Expert II LX and didnt realize it didnt come with its own cutting software but have to use or purchase separate programs for it. Is there another program you might be able to recommend that I could use for cutting? I design in Illustrator and do not need another design program, just something I can use to layout my cuts.

      It's important that your vinyl is loaded correctly. Make sure that it's straight using the guide at the front of the cutter. Also, the pinch wheels have to be clamped down over the gritty part of the bottom roller.

    Is there a way to cut around the same image twice?

    • @HeatPressNation
      @HeatPressNation  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. In your cut settings, increase the Step Count to 2. Every Step is a complete pass of the cut job. So 1 Step means it will cut your job once. 2 steps means it will cut your job twice, and so on.
