  1. Graphtec fcx2000 not reading holographic

    I would try putting a solid white around the reg marks. The holographic is probably throwing the reader off.

    Weird, it's saying the one here in Milwaukee is closed....
  3. How do I fix this? Overspray and ink texturing FB700

  5. Need Help Gaolito Printer

    I have seen too many scams come from Indonesia to ever order from there. Also you have to live by the famous line "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is..."
