How can it be that RTape 4075RLA is relatively low tac until it folds over on itself, in which case it forms the strongest bond in the known universe?

Okay, so we had a client ask us about doing some t-shirts and submitted some art. The art came from design.com I went there, and it appears to just be a website with an AI engine that will generate art off of prompts. The customer wants me to recreate the design exactly from the proof sample...

Thanks for the input. The characters in the file with the missing zeros issue had been converted to outlines before being opened in Flexi, so I think that instance was just the two programs not playing nice. I've not yet played around with .EPS and .PDF just yet. Our production person figured...

I am using the latest version of Illustrator and am saving down to 2020 version as that's what version our Cutting Master 4 seemed to like best a couple of years ago so just stuck with it. Thanks for the tips, I'll try the suggested work arounds and try to remember to report back if one works...

Brand new to Flexi with the HP Print and Cut system. In the past we were Illustrator>Cutting Master on our Graphtec. We've been having issues with random characters (so far only numbers) disappearing in Flexi. If the type is left live, on a couple of project NO numbers come through. I had some...

Looks like a curing issue as everyone has mentioned. That's not really my department, but I know we would apologize & replace them if that came from our shop.

Thanks for the input. After some back and fourth with the techs at Graphtec, it seems our wheel assemblies have cracked. They are parts no longer available and would require us to send them in to a shop in FL to have them rebuilt. The repair would only be a few hundred $ but will leave us dead...

Thanks for the response Geneva. We've had this FC8000 for probably 10-12 years now and have had no complaints/issues until now. It's an odd problem and Graphtec's tech support is slowly turning into a problem for me but that's another unrelated problem. I'm coming around to the 315 printer (so...

Bump

We are having some feeding issues with our old Graphtec FC8000-130 and we are having trouble sorting the problem. I'm still waiting for Graphtec support to get back with me to see if we can find a solution, and in the mean time I'm shopping plotters. As much as I'd like to entertain a Summa...

Thanks for the input, folks. I think we might give it a try.

Thanks to you both for the input. The table we are considering putting this on is wood and lets say "less than level". I didn't build it and it's not terrible, but the crowns in the wood cause the surface to rise and fall a little bit in places. Will that be an issue using a cutter like this?

The owner's son was just at the Orlando trade show and he saw the guy at the Safety Speed booth using a the Helios table top substrate cutters to cut 3mm ACM. https://safetyspeed.com/products/machines/sign-cutting-machines/helios-cutter/ I was wondering if anyone here has any real world...

Cocaine is a helluva drug!

I get tips regularly from happy customers. I don't do or say anything special beyond just always trying to do my very best on each job, but I'm always pleasantly surprised. It's usually just $20 or so, but some times it's been $100 or better. Once a guy tipped me $150 for doing a rush job decal...

It's a thing here in SC also. Bread, bottled water and milk get wiped out every time it's forecast that snow (or a hurricane) might come our way. Also, EVERYTHING shuts the heII down if there is so much as a mention of snow, BUT to be fair, pretty much no one has experience driving in snow, no...

I'd guess a bad batch. We use 5600 and print/laminate it sometimes and I have never seen anything like what you describe with the adhesive. Sure, it can be difficult to week like others have described with the tearing issues but I've never seen strands of glue, or had to actually clean up...

Longevity I suppose is what I am most curious about. This is pulled directly from their brochure: "Our UV-DTF Dura-Stickers are printed using UV inks, resulting in vibrant colors. A high-gloss epoxy lacquer layer is then applied, creating a beautiful embossed effect. They are exceptionally...

Nope, per their Printing Services Brochure: "Step 5: You stick it with your hand, Step 6: Product is ready"
