  1. Need Help Summa D140 - Stopping Mid Cut

    Had this happen a few times yesterday. Have a roll printed, I used barcode to cut printed sections, and it cut through 95% of the sheet, stopped and cut straight across the sheet through work. Another sheet stopped about 50% through, paused for a minute and then went on to look for the next...
  2. Need Help Shifting cuts on stickers

    So I've noticed when I laminate single sheets I get a horrible shift in cutting. I'm only assuming this is due to how I'm laminating them, if I did this on a roll it wouldn't be an issue. I'm just not sure where I'm going wrong with setting the sheets up to run through the laminator. The only...
  3. Onyx 19 - Layouts

    Since I've gotten my roll-to-roll setup going now I'm wondering if it's possible to have Onyx layout stuff automatically to fill a certain area. Say I've got some 11.5" x 9.5" pieces and some 10.5" x 9.38" pieces...I want to be able to toss it into the Rip telling it how many copies I need of...
  4. Question Sheets vs Roll Process

    So I finally received my GFP 363TH and seems pretty easy to setup. Just a learning curve on a new machine. I'm so used to doing everything as sheets, but I will have to transfer to roll to roll eventually when I feel comfortable with the process of doing roll-to-roll. How do you laminate sheets...
  5. Question Onyx, Flexi, or something else

    Since getting my Graphtec FC9000 I've found that my version of Onyx (19) doesn't support full functionality of the cutter for what I want to do. I tried Onyx version 21 but it still wasn't great. I haven't tried Flexi and doing things through illustrator and cut master seems very tedious from...
  6. Slow cutting of Tapered Stickers

    I've got some stickers I'm doing kiss cuts of and the design is tapered because of the tube they are going on. For some reason whenever I cut them it runs about half the speed it's set to. It's something I've never encountered before so I'm scratching my head. I can only think that it's because...
  7. Sheet Layout in Illustrator

    Looking for different ways to do sheet layouts in illustrator. Do the folks that do layout in illustrator, do you use a plug-in or do you manually step and repeat? I often do lots of smaller pieces, such as 1.5" rounds on sheets 8.5" x 11", I usually use a PDF with cuts and all and import into...
  8. Media Size Update Onyx 19.0.3

    I used to have a little button in the upper right hand side of this box to update the media and size. Now it's magically gone....now there is no auto detection of the size of the media. Very odd...anyone else have this issue? Using Onyx 19.0.3
  9. Need Help FC9000 - Cutting Issues Barcode and Mark

    Just got my FC9000 and i had successfully did a print and cut test. I've updated to latest firmware and Onyx is up to date as well. I'm cutting through Onyx cut server to do my cutting. I was able to hit the "Cut Now" in onyx cut server and it scanned and cut the other day, today it won't do...
  10. Briteline Holographic Vinyl

    Been trying this out. It's nice. I don't get curling like I do with other metallic vinyls. But with it being 6mil adding a a 3mil laminate makes it incredibly thick and doing a full die cut sticker, which people want, is hard to cut, I'm guessing it's probably about 15mil with the backing paper...
  11. Need Help Irregular Cutting D140

    Came back after a couple of days laminated a few sheets and started cutting with the barcode like I normally do and my cutting was way off. Seemed to be about 1/16" off in some places, near the center of the sheet. The outer two edges were fine. I noticed as the moved to the cuts near the middle...
  12. Question Storefront website with pricing options

    I don't have a website but I get asked often and I would like to try to funnel business inquires through it rather than dealing with private messages from lots of people and it would just smooth out the ordering process I believe. With that...does anyone know where I can build a site that I can...
  13. Blade depth changing during cutting.

    So this is new to me and not sure why it's even happening. I do die cut stickers on my D140. I do two passes for cuts to score them deep so they are easy to pop out. Well one sheet I tried yesterday, it started fine and a test cut was good, so I cut the whole sheet and when I pulled it I noticed...
  14. Need Help SP-540 Not Cutting

    I initiate the job in versaworks to cut only, submit it to start the cutting, it goes to processing on the machine for a few seconds but the cut head never even moves and then it stops processing like it's finished. Not really sure whats going on. I can do test cuts fine but this file isn't...
  15. Northeast Equipment Dealer

    I'm looking to get an new laminator and cutter and would like some recommendations on dealers in the Northeast. I previously used Grimco for my equipment so no need to recommend them.
  16. Print and Cut without Summa Marks

    So I have this red glitter material I print on for a customer and I've used my old Roland SP540 but I'm trying to get away from that. My summa cannot read these marks. I've tried taping over them and cutting out the reg mark, I've tried it with a yellow filter over my OPOS sensor and it might...
  17. Need Help Newbie - Cast Overlaminate loading

    Total newbie to everything cast. I wanted to laminate a sample print, but I cannot get the film loaded for the life of me. It's got a poly liner which and when I try to thread like I do with calendared material it just bunches up gets wrinkled and all jacked up. There must be a trick that I...
  18. Need Help Onyx Thrive 19 - Dropping Cut Lines

    I was getting setup to cut some sheets this afternoon and noticed it's dropping some of my cutlines in one row but another row below it is fine. It's all the same file repeated so I'm not sure why this is happening.
  19. Need Help Vehicle Graphic Transfer Tape Size

    I've never done any graphics for vehicles. This one is just a large oval. I'm not installing it but it's going to be fairly large, around 30". I want to apply some transfer tape to it but I don't want to order a huge roll. Is it ok to use a more narrow tape and just go over the graphic a couple...
  20. Marking, scratching on printed vinyl.

    On thicker vinyl, 6mil, after it's printed and had a chance to off gas, I notice that it easily marks and with some pressure it will scratch, but it marks very easily. I don't seem to have this happen on thinner vinyl, 3mil. What can I do to prevent this?
