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"

Yes, we have a local source for DTF for garments that we use regularly. The example in the link are (I'm assuming) adhesive backed decals that are supposedly indoor/outdoor/dishwasher safe. Same principal in terms of detail/clarity as heatpress but in decal form.

A guy in the shop just approached me about these DTF stickers and I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this type of product and what opinions you may have. https://www.yousendweprint.com/group/uv-dtf-stickers
