We have a 20 year old 30" Graphtec that is ugly, basic, but so reliable (it outlived the Roland plotter that replaced it) and can still cut small text like a pro, that we bought a 60" Graphtec a few years ago when we added a wider format plotter. I don't think the issue is the plotter brand so...

This line of thinking makes the most sense when you don't see the whole picture or when you understand the engineering behind the machine and the inks. Worth asking to learn more, and in some cases a company that services the brands in question may be able to tell you what inks would work and...

The back doesn't look bad at all - assuming you use wrap vinyl to change the color. But remember, you will need to clean this really well to have good results - about half the time you have it - I would windex it first then hit with alcohol or Rapid Prep twice. I think you can do this in 2 days...

Glad to hear you are up and running. Sounds to me like an air-bubble (which happens from time to time) - bleeding the line for Cyan would be the way to work that out. Other than that, I would have looked at negative pressure. We find we need to adjust negative pressure about twice a year. These...

We have a Roland XR-640 and it prints and cuts. At one point we thought about adding a second to handle increased volume, but we ended up add a Graphtec 9000-160 plotter instead (was less money and we definitely needed another plotter). The end result was increased capacity as the printer could...

And this is why we make proofs... as a general rule, we do not alter the logo layout. But I can think of cases where a mirror image layout was preferred and used. So exceptions. One thing to remember is that flags are to be mirrored on the second side so they always face the same direction.

We have used both. Briteline WrapCast vinyl is actually Arlon and is comparable to SLX. That said, I think there is a slight reduction in quality - few more pits in the vinyl and somehow feels a touch thinner (though that maybe my imagination)... As far as using it, it work well and we have...

if your lead edge is not cut straight I have seen this. One solution is to simply not use the basket.

We use "Graphtec 4 Points Type 1". It sounds like that is what your plotter is looking for...

Brushed Silver Composite comes in 1/4" (aka 6mm)

If your unit uses bulbs, then yes they likely need replacing every 6-12 months. The newer LED versions have a separate unit that cools the unit and controls intensity of the lamps - so if you have a LED lamp unit, lamp intensity is likely set too low. Water should not dissolve cured UV inks...

Aluminum Composite is very durable for exterior use. It comes in different thicknesses: as a 3mm it is a great material to go on a wall or over a wooden face, but 3mm is too thin to withstand wind unsupported (like when used between two posts); 6mm or thicker will do much better between posts -...

They asked about installing it themselves... did the other shop exclude installation from the quote? That might be the difference in cost.

Screen is the fineness of the dots - a lower number yields an image that is very sharp, a higher number yields an image best seen from far away. Ink density is essentially the amount of ink used to print. So 1x would be a normal amount. 2x is sometimes useful when printing on a sign that will be...

I would be more concerned about cleaners and detergents (shampoo, soap). You could always apply a clear or matter laminate over the graphic if need be.

I might not be back today to answer, but I'm sure we would all like to know what the issue is before making suggestions...

You often do need to delete some old jobs in Versa Works to bring in large files. Try cleaning it out of whatever is not needed and resend it.
