We have an old Graphtec FC 8600-160 and it works just fine with an M1 Mac via Cutting Master.
One thing you do have to watch for is that Graphtec does not update Cutting Master as frequently as Adobe updates Illustrator, so Illustrator keeps getting ahead and there can be compatibility issues...
I can recommend https://www.tensioningsolutions.com/
Simple and very effective (and cost effective) system. Ron & Kathy are a pleasure to work with.
Here's an example
Another thing that has caught me out once before is the blade holder not being installed properly after changing a blade. Make sure its seated correctly and tightened.
I realize this doesn't exactly match your example, but these standoffs are great for doing what you're trying to do: https://www.wired4signsusa.com/collections/signage-standoffs
We use Briteline all the time and love it.
We use Wrapcast for commercial vehicle wraps and Duration X (2303) for flat surfaces. We also carry their el cheap vinyl (2203) for economy decals and short term signage.
We're happy with all of them their place. Briteline Wrapcast has proved to be...
Just a word regarding UV flatbed printing tactile ADA signs, I have done some experiments on our Fluidcolor R84F, and managed to print tactile text a little over 1/32" in height in a single pass using white ink to build up the height quickly and an overcoat of whatever color is needed. (I say...
So we're removing a wrap where the previous installer used 3M primer 94 in a BIG way. It's basically everywhere except in the middle of flat body panels. If they were trying to make sure this wrap never failed, they NAILED it. Now that I have the job of getting this off, it seems less of a...
Up to $20/hr to start with, depending on experience and proficiency.
I'm just an employee here, but I'll say one thing about the owner from my own experience, is that he's fair about paying employees what they are worth.
Looking for someone with some experience producing and installing vehicle wraps, vinyl graphics, and general signage. No qualifications needed, if you can do the work, that's what we need.
Comfortable hours and working environment. Central location near RDU. Start soon as possible.
I’ve been using Grimco’s Briteline Wrapcast vinyl for vehicle wraps for a couple of years and had good results. I was skeptical at first but it’s proven to be a reliable product and it’s competitively priced. I find it nicer to work with than IJ180 too.
Not sure where to post this as I don't know exactly what is causing my problem...
For several months I have been experiencing random registration mark detection issues with Caldera and our Graphtec FC8600-160 plotter.
This occurs when contour cutting printed vinyl.
90% of the time it works...
Heres a little feedback should anyone be interested....
It works just fine to run CP Manager on a virtual Windows machine on a Mac.
The only caveat I've found so far is that the windows machine and the Mac don't seem to be able to share the same USB cable and both use it at the same time...
So I'm just giving this a try...
I have Windows 10 running on a VM on the Mac, and CP Manager installed, but I'm having trouble getting windows to communicate with the printer. The driver files that I downloaded from OKI don't seem to be complete. See screenshot attached.
Had anyone had...
What we've been doing is running a 3.2Ghz i7 Mac mini for the rip software, and the windows box for CP Manager side by side, through a USB & HDMI Switch, so we switch between the Mac and the PC using the same keyboard, mouse and monitor, and the same USB connection to the printer.
This has...
This isn't exactly a RIP or color management question, but this was the closest topic I could find.
We have been trying to eliminate windows PCs in our shop in favor of Macs, and have whittled it down to one PC only, which runs CP Manager for our Colorpainter M-64s. All this is used for is...
