  1. Need Help Graphtec stopped working due to static shock, HELP!!

    depps74, The post Terry01 posted is a very good point. It's not a bad idea to make sure its not an electrical problem with your space. If the circuit your plotter was plugged into has a loose ground wire somewhere that could cause the problem as well as many more!
  2. Applying vinyl lettering to latex painted walls

    I have had luck with washing a latex wall down with TSP, which you can get at any paint or hardware store. However, I only do this for full mural walls and advise customer they may have to paint after removal.
  3. Need Help Graphtec stopped working due to static shock, HELP!!

    Let's say the static shock can kill a plotter. How the hell do you properly prevent this issue? I have run a plotter on carper for years and never had this issue but I certainly want to prevent it from happening!

  6. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    Thanks for the replies, I am curious if the issue is widespread or if the issue can be narrowed down to a single batch of parts. The company I work for runs several latex printers and we print primarily on IJ180C and IJ180CV3 with 8518 Laminate. We have never had the issue but I am curious if it...

  8. Frost Vinyl overlap or buttjoint?

    I have always butt jointed it. A wet install makes it easy to slide against the other sheet. I have only installed frost in windows that see minimal sun or for event purposes. Long term direct UV installs may be different.

  15. Sign Warehouse Q54 more expensive than 54" Graphtec...... how?

    Thanks for the informations guys. I have found that the Q54 does not come with ARMS so that is a no go for it I will be getting the Graphtec FC 8600-130.

  17. Logo Resolution Problems

    Owen, I made the mistake of recreating low quality logos for clients when I started my first sign business in 2010. I quickly learned that the customer pays for my service (in house or outsource) or they provide an acceptable file. No if's, and's or but's about it.
