FAQs

What is the maximum width the vinyl cutter can handle?

The PixMax vinyl cutter has a maximum cutting width of 28 inches (720mm).

Is the printer capable of standard ink printing as well?

The printer is adapted with sublimation cartridges for sublimation printing. For standard ink printing, you would need to replace these with regular ink cartridges.

What is the warranty period for the PixMax set?

The set includes a FREE 12-month electrical warranty.

Can I use any vinyl cutting software with the cutter?

The PixMax vinyl cutter is primarily compatible with SignCut and FlexiStarter. While designs can be created in other software, the cutting command needs to be sent from one of the compatible programs.

What types of materials can the heat press be used on?

The heat press is suitable for applying vinyl transfers, sublimation transfers, and other heat-transfer materials onto fabrics like cotton, polyester blends, and more, as well as other heat-press-compatible surfaces.

Do I need to buy anything else to start making sublimation prints?

The bundle includes sublimation cartridges, sublimation paper, and heat-resistant tape. You will also need sublimation-compatible blanks (e.g., mugs, polyester shirts) and the design software.

How do I clean the vinyl cutter?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the cutting mat and blade area clean and free of debris. Avoid using liquids directly on the machine's electronic components.

Troubleshooting

Vinyl cutter not cutting correctly

Check blade depth, ensure the vinyl is loaded correctly, and verify that the correct material settings are selected in the cutting software. Confirm the software is compatible.

Heat press not heating evenly

Ensure the heat press is on a flat, stable surface. Check the temperature settings and allow adequate time for preheating. If the issue persists, contact support.

Printer not printing sublimation ink

Verify that sublimation cartridges are correctly installed and filled with sublimation ink. Ensure the correct printer driver is installed and that you are printing a sublimation design onto sublimation paper.

Software not recognizing the vinyl cutter

Confirm the USB cable is securely connected to both the cutter and the computer. Reinstall the device drivers for the vinyl cutter. Ensure you are using compatible software.

Sublimation transfers are dull or faded

Ensure you are using genuine sublimation ink and sublimation paper. Check that the heat press temperature and time settings are appropriate for the transfer paper and material you are using.
