  1. Cutting Master registration is slightly off

    We have an FC7000-130 here and we're running Cutting Master 2 directly out of Illustrator CS6. I've tried CM3 but for some reason it tends to end up just frustrating me so I always revert back to CM2. The issue I've had pretty much since day one is that my print-to-cut registration is ALWAYS...
  2. Painting OmegaBond

    I've searched and searched and I'm just not finding definitive answers... We're refacing an existing un-lit monument sign by screwing 3mm OmegaBond panels to both sides of the box. Each side is approximately 72.5" wide by 98.25" high, so each face will consist of two panels butted up to each...
  3. GS6000 Inconsistent Color

    HELP!!! Our GS6000 has some serious color consistency problems. For example, I'm currently printing a 4x8 with a solid orange background--it starts out the correct shade of orange, but the color is gradually shifting as it's printing and by the end of the print it's a completely different...
  4. Gs6000 Dampers

    Anyone ever replace the dampers on a GS6000 themselves? I'm just wondering how involved of a job it is. We purchased our GS6000 lightly used in 2011, and it was manufactured in 9/2008. I'm unsure if the dampers have ever been replaced...I know they haven't been replaced since we've owned it...
  5. Window Graphics To Be Viewed On Inside Of Large Windows

    I have a customer that is looking to put some printed window graphics along the tops of a long hallway of windows. The windows are 74" wide each (24 of them), and about 9 feet tall. The graphics would just cover the top 15" of each window. Kicker is that they want them viewable on the INSIDE...
  6. PVC cleat to mount 4x8 PVC Panels - Questions

    I don't do a lot of installs, but I have a client looking to mount some 4x8 panels of 12mm PVC to a concrete block interior wall. I was thinking French cleat, also made of 12mm PVC. Do you think I need a cleat top and bottom or would just a top cleat and a bottom spacer be sufficient? How...
  7. Tips for wrapping routered corners??

    Let me preface this by saying I don't do wraps. I have a customer that has 5 of these small drop boxes that he wants partially wrapped. Wrapping the four flat sides is a no-brainer. The challenge is wrapping the front panel, which is basically a hinged door with rounded edges. The boxes...
  8. How to avoid scuffs/scratches from squeegee??

    We don't usually install our own wraps. In fact, we just don't do very many wraps, but when we do, we print/laminate and we have someone else install. We mostly do flat signs and simple vehicle graphics. I've got a small, really simple wrap job that I need to install in a few days, it's a six...
  9. GS6000 Color inconsistancies and streaking

    I've been running a GS6000 with Onyx X10 for a few years now, and while it works great and produces fantastic results 99% of the time, sometimes I will notice a color shift from one print to the next of the exact same thing. I just finished applying a large logo to a Lexan panel...had to split...
  10. GS6000 prints coming out slightly bowed

    Not sure how to better describe the issue other than the prints are coming out slightly bowed, bowing the width of the media, not in the feed direction. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes when I go to trim out the prints and put my straight edge along the printed edge, the center will be...
  11. FC7000 plotter acting up...HELP!

    Hoping someone can help...last Friday I was having a BEAR of a time trying to get my Graphtec FC7000 to read registration marks on some printed yellow reflective. Now I know it's going to have issues scanning marks on yellow, so I had the reg marks outlined with masking tape, and I must have...
  12. GS6000 Head Alignment

    I'm not sure who came up with this process, but it's ridiculous. Machine has no real problems to speak of and prints okay for the most part, but I noticed a few days ago that (when looking at the printer) the vertical line in my crop mark was a bit blurry, especially when compared to the...
