There will always be a difference, usually because of vinyl limitations but sometimes they are mastered differently and on older originally-analog recordings the CD/MP3 may have been poorly remastered.
I have an sc series I just got and have been playing with. Setup was done according to the instructional videos and the machine works great until it comes to small lettering. I have tried adjusting the blade depth up and down hoping to find the sweet spot. So far ive gotten my letter down to 1.10 inch and it has to be "normal" text. if I do any kind of cursives then I have to raise the font to 1.25 and even some letters still pull up during the cutting. Is this normal or is there something i should be doing differently. First timer here and just dont know the rules of the cutter yet haha, thanks in advance
first forget what you saw in videos about how to set the blade depth and follow Mz Skeeters helpful instructions
"To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing.. You should just barely and feel the blade tip out of the blade holder. "
after posting this i found a article where he wrote that lol so I will be adjusting and trying again. Preciate it...curiously whats the smallest youve been able to get cut? I am using the disney style font and the "o" and "i" always pull up on me
Picking up edges is often a result of poor setup. Some vinyl is more prone to it than others as well. If I have fine cutting to do I tend to use a higher grade cast vinyl like 751 or even 951. You would be surprised at how smooth it cuts and weeds. As mentioned set your blade properly is the number one starting place. Many people also benefit from switch to a 60deg blade. This ends up with a sharper pointed angle out at the tip and may be helpful. A good quality blade makes a difference too. Clean-cut blades are highly prized on the forum. There may be a re-branded clean cut option offered on the main website, I'll go look.
Bear in mind that the 60deg is actually ground specifically to cut THICKEr material as show in that link but also seems to help with FINER cutting as well. IF you switch to a higher quality blade be careful and decrease your cutting force a LOT and work back into the proper pressure because a nice blade cuts with less force.
Also as an FYI the 60deg theory is sometimes disputed. My personal cutter runs a 36deg blade and it will cut as fine as anything out there so....... I have tested out several blade combos including a 60deg Clean-cut and not found a noticeable difference with MY cutter. That being said it's a high end servo motor cutter and that may negate some of the benefits.
There was a period of time uscutter offered cleancut blades in as a greenstar premium blade but I believe it caused too much confusion - greenstar is uscutters private brand and usually for house branded stuff - usually not associated with a premium product like cleancut blades - if they wanted to private brand I think another name would have worked out better - I saw the same thing goose found a couple of weeks ago that they was selling actual cleancut blades now
"...She's enough of a talent to serve up nine of Dusty's (plus one original) with reverence rather than mimicry, while avoiding the obvious songs. But the hook is the sound: it ranks with any 'audiophile' LP you can name." Sound Quality: 90%, Hi-Fi News Album Choice - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, September 2012
"...it is simply hard to believe how good this LP sounds, the backgrounds are as quiet as any of the famous UHQR pressings. Lynne's voice simply comes out of silence and a real space. It is rich, detailed, and most of all, unbelievably alive sounding. This recording is so good that I swear it sounds like she sings better than she did on the original...This is an LP that every vinyl lover must have in their collection!" - Jack Roberts, Dagogo
Right on the heels of our Analogue Productions reissue of Dusty Springfield's Dusty In Memphis, which was named Stereophile's Recording of the Month for February 2012, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
In addition to the Springfield tracks, Lynne also covers Tony Joe White's "Willie and Laura Mae Jones." In fact, given the style of music and sound quality, we'd recommend that anyone who likes this record also check out our reissue of Tony Joe White's Homemade Ice Cream ( _Joe_White-Homemade_Ice_Cream-200_Gram_Vinyl_Record) and our reissue of Dusty Springfield's Dusty In Memphis ( _Springfield-Dusty_In_Memphis-45_RPM_Vinyl_Record). And if you like either of those two records, we think you're gonna like this one.
PopMatters' review of Just A Little Lovin' wrote - "Lynne has crafted a disc that - while not exactly transcendent - still manages to go to emotional places that remain unattainable to your run-of-the-mill pop vocalists." Some of Dusty's biggest hits are covered here including "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," "I Only Want To Be With You," and "How Can I Be Sure."
Hi everyone, I'd love some tips, please :)
My machine keeps catching the ends of letters or designs when I run vinyl through it, and picking it up while it cuts, ruining the design and vinyl. I use the recommended settings for cutting vinyl, and have even run vinyl through it with a few changed settings. but I have almost ruined a whole roll, so now I need some help. The designs I am trying are not intricate at all, and I even had Silhouette replace my whole blade piece, and now it is doing better, but still won't make it through a whole design piece without destroying at least a little piece or corner.
I don't want to guess around with the settings anymore, it's a waste of so much money. Has this happened with anyone else, and what was done to fix it? I have tried everything from their website :( I read a few other discussions mentioning something similar, and read about using vinyl from Expressions online instead, but when I looked through their site, the vinyl was listed as "Silhouette Vinyl" so is it still different?
Thanks for any advice!!

The time I had problems with my vinyl tearing, I was cutting very small words. I slowed down my speed a lot and that helped. But I also am one of those whose Silhouette brand vinyl has worked really well for. If no one else has suggestions, I would contact customer support. They want you to be happy with your machine and are very helpful.

I have made dozens of vinyl stencils for etching (all fonts), and never had a problem at all, using Silhouette vinyl. Are you using a carrier sheet? (You shouldn't) Have you tried other fonts, or are you using the same one each time? Try another, if you are. Things with more rounded corners tend to do better than square corners. Do contact the Silhouette customer service - they are wonderful and very available! They will help you trouble shoot and get your difficulty fixed!

Hi guys! Thanks for the replies :) I tried everything possible, I would go all the way down to setting the speed slow and the thickness of 1, and it would still cut all the way through the vinyl and destroy it all. I tried like 5 different fonts, and basic cuts even, it just destroyed it all. :( I had talked to customer service twice already, we replaced the blade, and updated the driver, and ended with needing a replacement machine. They guy I last spoke to was very polite, and he is even replacing my ruined vinyl, so now I am waiting on the new machine, and hopefully it will be all better :)
