  1. Aligning material on Graphtec 7000-130

    as far as i know, Graphtecs have a single main roller below and just the movable rubber rollers that clamp down. at least on the 5100 series it is this way and don't see why the 7000 series would be different that being said, the only way to make it run crooked is to load it crooked we just...
  2. Just not there yet......

    by needle i hope you mean blade... what kind of plotter is it? what software is it? just sounds to me like the force is set all wrong
  3. General Issue Contour Cutting from Flexi

    we are not using the same equipment, but using a mimaki and a graphtec 5100..... we set the media width to 52" even though it has 54" in it, other wise it does the same and tries to print the registration off the page.... in the graphtec, we have to do the "auto detect marks" option first...
  4. Buy me a plotter

    not sure what the heat press is for when you were saying you wanted to do vehicles, magnets, windows..... My advise would be to take out a loan at the bank, by the proper machine and hit the ground running. Starting out it is a scary thought of borrowing money to do something you don't know...
  5. Can you have?

    like Rick said, you can never have enough of a good thing, but on the other hand i have so many fonts that i forget what i have and don't use a majority of them, basically just a select few that we like to use as far as clipart, we started with a good basic set, and now just do a buy one as...
  6. Combing Color Layer Elements - X3

    when you combine two pieces that are on two different layers, after if combines it automatically changes the color to the top layers color and puts it on the top layer as well, you probably just need to move to the back or where ever and solve that issue it sounds like to me

  9. Mimaki jv3 take up reel

    when i flip it the other direction it goes about a half turn and stops, then i manually roll it with my hand, and then another half turn on its own, then it stops, this was an overnight change, worked and now it doesn't. bought this thing a month ago...hmmm....
  10. Mimaki jv3 take up reel

    I started about a 30 ft run of prints before leaving for lunch. Got it set up on the take up reel and took off. I came back to a pile of folded material onthe floor...the take up reel never spun. It has always worked in the past, it spins when i physically turn it, and then for a few minutes...
  11. Quick question about terminology.

    people in this area have no idea what a "wrap" actualy is. They refer to it as "paint". It takes some explaining around here, don't know about anywhere else.
  12. Programs for Printing to EDGE ? ? ?

    as far as i know, no. I looked into an edge machine, and was getting a descent price, but having to purchase omega addtionally, killed the deal
  13. Heres the pic of Mutoh issue

    almsot looks like the rollers are pinching to tight, and leaving indentations in the vinyl then when it gets printed on it shows like that

  17. New Here, Doin' Vinyl Since 1998

    i may be wrong, but if you charge 60 an hour and it takes under 30 minutes, say 20 minutes to do a 2X8 banner while making 30 dollars over cost of materials, i don't get 48 bucks a banner $20 to build banner, $1 a minute $16 banner material roughly $8 vinyl, generous $4 transfer tape =$48...
  18. Reach out an touch......

    My first thought would be to research "color cutters". The internet is a wealth of information, if you call a "professional shop" and ask if you can come look at their "color cutter" they most likely will laugh in your face. I know of a guy in the business, or claims to be, that will call me up...
  19. cheap plotters...

    we use graphtec plotters, always have, and most likely always will, although the mimaki i have used was descent there is something to be said about a "name you can trust" never used one of the "el cheapo" machines, never will, you get what you pay for, whether it is day to day operations or a...
  20. Evaluating Estimating Software

    we tried "Estimate" and it never made it through the trial period before it was on the way back. A member here developed his own software called GraphixCalc. Worked pretty good for what we needed at the time. Currently we have upgraded to Cyrious SMS and love it, had some experience with it...
