Pull the phototex off the wall, wipe the wall down with alcohol TWICE. Reapply phototex. If the crease wont go away, use heat to make it happy again.

After 2 strikes I would definitely switch materials. (I would switch brands)

I have never heard of UV ink for wraps. Are you sure it was properly outgassed before lamination? Try a UV lamp? A torch can make things magically get better but can burn things quick too.

You're probably looking at a new Y-axis motor soon if you can hear it starting to go. However, first make sure the carriage bearings are lubricated and the rails are clean and lubricated. That will reduce drag on the motor. I believe there is also a bearing/pulley that can go bad on that...

Phototex for Templates

I installed an additional cutting software program on the same PC that my RIP is on. It is the same software that we cut to our other plotters from, but we hardly ever use the RIP pc to just cut. We have a lot of plotters though.

A laser can both cut and engrave if you're looking for just wooden tokens. Kinda like a print/cut machine. ;) Just use different power/speed settings for each function and have a common X/Y axis origin.

It was pretty close to Flange, but not perfect, Flange is almost $300 for the font, so I just got a better photo and traced it. The graphic in the photo was originally made by Leo's, so it shouldn't be a Pierce font.

I would bet that buying decent poker chips, then making a template to inlay them into (for mass production) then laser engraving them would be a really nice end product.

Drop shadows in Illustrator always seems to kill speed for me too, so I avoid them whenever possible. Most of the time you have to flatten the effect anyways if you're doing print/cut.

Does anyone know of anyone buying used cartridges for the S70670 series printers? Getting ready to pitch a mountain of them.

Well. By the hour. Without installers you are dead in the water as a wrap shop. With happy, quality installers you are a successful shop.

If you're doing wraps you will want to start off doing them right, so check out which school you would like to attend. PDAA & 3M both offer training courses. I assume Avery, Oracal, etc also still offer them.

Can you email me a copy of the service manual? jason(at)cruxroadboardz.com I've never seen one. I have 5 of these and have always just repaired them myself or with help from the plotter doctor.

Not a bad price, call Home page for pricing on heads if they can sell them to you, or find a local tech that can purchase them. Getting the program the techs have isn't impossible. If that wont work, call DecisionOne and tell them you want a quote for two new heads. We just had one head replaced...

Can't seem to place this font, and the photo provided aint that great either.

Trajan Pro & ...

Can't figure this one out easily. Can you?

I use Pantone 186c for the red on fire truck chevrons.

See if you have a local makerspace/hackerspace. Some parts like those linear rails and the servo motors would be awesome to them. These people might know who: FUBAR Labs | New Jersey's First Hackerspace
