Need help cutting longer words!!

[SBryant29]

I have a US Cutter MH871-MK2 with Sure Cuts A Lot Pro 3 software on it. I am wanting to cut words that are 48 inches long. I can't figure out how to get the cutter to k ow to cut it long ways. Any help on this would be great!

Hi - don't have scal3 pro but this is how I would go about setting it up with my version - not sure if my version will cut this long but I think the pro version will do

1st Set custom mat size to bigger than you need - I have set my to 60 x 12 inches however thinking about it I might even make it longer
2nd Create your text to the correct size and then rotate by until vertical
3rd Line up your vinyl into your machine ensuring it can move smoothly and cut

At least that is the theory!

Of course we all know

'in theory there is no difference between theory and practise'
'in practise there always is ! '

Good luck
