We have been cutting foam core on our Colex for years and never had any issues. A few months back we had a small job and it started tearing the face and/or the foam. Now it happens every time we cut foam core. We tried single and double edge blades, same result. Tried brand new blades, same...

I think back in the old SignLab days they had an option that would do the lines through the text. We called it the “power weeding” setting (no idea if that was the official name). Don’t know if anyone has that setting today. I have tried to get my production team to do it that way but they...

Haha trust me I’m over here kicking myself for not figuring it out sooner. We have used this material for a while from the same supplier without any trouble, some of the scrap I was testing with was from our last order with them. Now to wait and see what they have to say about it. I can only...

Well I know this conversation has pretty much been with myself but we found it was definitely the material. Went out and bought some new sheets from a different supplier and this is the result we got. Hopefully the conversation with myself saves someone down the road from wasting 5 days and a...

Figured it out. Flatten transparency worked. No idea why we would have to do that since we haven’t had to do it in the past but it fixed it.

Yup, 100%.

Hey All, I am at my wits end here so finally going to post and see if anyone has input. We are getting strange vertical lines in our prints with FB700. I have tried everything possible to remedy. Cleaned carriage rail, cleaned encoder, printed prime bars and jet tests (all look clean)...

theplotterdoctor.com is where we get stuff from.

I think flexi has a bar code generator. We sell thermal transfer printers for customers to print their own bar code labels. We sell bartender software for these applications.

Print on vinyl then laminate with polycarbonate. Vinyl shouldn’t be laser cut and polycarbonate doesn’t laser cut well but you can cut with a plotter or by hand.
