We were told that it is able to be printed on latex printers but I think it is simply too hot for the material even at the lowest setting. Just wasn't sure if there was a work around anyone has come up with. That is a good idea to check out, I will compare the backer on a printed piece to an...

Recently we switched over to an HP 800W but I've been having issues with some of the media. Spectratek Stardust comes out very "webbed" and our heat settings are on the lowest. Our over lam stickers are having troubles as well peeling up from the backer after the laminate process (we run lam...

Just like cars, every brand has its problems ! We had multiple techs ghost us and not know the problem for months sadly so I hear ya, great advice to buy as local as possible.

Look into an S2 with tangential head! might not have all the next gen fancy options but it is also a pretty good work horse from what I've heard. The Graphtec has the channel for perf cut but I found our Graphtec strip got so beat up on kiss cuts alone for some reason. Summa has the flex cut...

Reading this reply after, I had to change the Graphtec cutting strips, they were terrible, I found they got beat up and would make my cuts off too frequently. I also cut between 30-54 inch probably close to 30 sheets a day and the strip still looks great, hardly any wear and no more on one side...

Our shop just got rid of our piece of crap Graphtec FC9000 and replaced it with a S3 TC160 Summa since the techs had no clue how to fix the error message we had and it had been happing since march on and off until it eventually died at 1 year old. The tech that came to set up our Summa had said...

The techs around here don't know what's wrong with it but I have looked up the code and seen the premier color website. I'm unsure if they have contacted Graphtec, but we have been trying to contact our techs on an off since march ! The last tech that came to 'fix' it had changed the belt...

Has anyone had this error on a Graphtec FC9000 and know how to fix it ? We have looked and it said there was a motherboard issue, techs have come in to look at it but they can't find the problem and we would like to give it one last chance before giving up. Its been having a problem when loading...

Has anyone used Avery Dennison MPI 3300 Gloss White Permanent Vinyl? I am using this vinyl with an Epson R5070 and I am looking for any advice on using it. I have run into the media wrinkling while on the printer, fuzzy images, ink spray, and even wet spots appearing on the bottom of the media...

It quite literally switches spots randomly, I will set the blade in the kiss cut holder and it will be thrown off 1/4 inch up so I move the blade to the thru cut holder and its lined up perfectly. This is what I have my conditions named on the computer, on the graphtec its standard Condition 1...

I have been setting condition, force, etc. on the Graphtec. I just tried lowering the speed from 10 to 8 cm/s using the 4 corners and it corrected it a bit, still slightly migrating up by 1-2 mm.

I've been using my Graphtec FC9000 for a few months with zero issues, recently I have been getting a few off cuts. Software: Onyx Thrive and Cut Server (Up to date) Blade: CB09UB-2 Printer: Epson R5070 Crop Marks: Inward facing L's Here is my list of problems: -Kiss cut likes to switch spots...

Thanks for the tip, I will try and report back :biggrin:

the sheets are 47in x 54in, I've tried segmented area correction too but sometimes the next cut doesn't line up. Here are the crop marks I use.

Hello! I have been using my Graphtec for a while now, self taught. I have been having trouble finding a dealer/tech in the Ontario area, we have emailed our regular tech with no response back about this machine. My problem: I am getting off cuts in the center, the cuts on the edges are near...
