  2. Suggestions Dust/lint on print

    I run some mutoh printers, and I am finding it next to impossible to not have lint fly in onto the media and then ruining some print jobs if there are enough. Is there a ribbon or something similar I can put across to keep lint off? Or maybe a brush that goes across it all? Do other printer...
  3. Need Help Laminator wrinkling on one side

    Hey guys, I have a RS 54" wide laminator, recently I have been getting increasingly bad wrinkles or waves on the left side. I am guessing this is due to uneven roll pressure. almost like the left side feeds slower. Should I tighten the left side? Or loosen it?
  4. Suggestions Printer suggestion

    OK, so I got some 1x1 samples from 3m on some of their car wrap materials, and the print quality is unlike anything I've ever seen. The colors are so complete and clean when you look close up. I am not sure what printer they are using but the dot gain is amazing. I have contacted them to find...

  8. printer/cutter what should i choose

    I have been on a lean budget since starting up, I purchased a heavily used and not working mutoh vj 1324 printer, I did a deep deep clean of the whole machine. Soaked print heads, cleaned out all ink lines, cleaned out the capping station, rebuilt the pump with new tubing and grease. After...
  9. Need Help Flexisign 10 question

    I am running a parallels virtual machine on my MacBook, running windows 10 to use Flexi. Works perfectly, once in a blue moon I will get a little lag when importing large files. But thats it, very happy with my setup right now.
  10. What vinyl should I use?

    I am using Arlon DPF 4600LX, its a very flexible calandered vinyl. You save alot of money if you aren't needing it to wrap crazy bumper contours and stuff. I love this material for most of my jobs.
  11. Need Help accurate cutting

    Thanks everyone for responding!! I seriously love this forum so much. The fix, The issue I was having was in fact my feed calibration. I was trying different materials and some where thicker than others. I calibrated for one material and ran my cuts through, came out perfect. I even cut it...
  12. Need Help accurate cutting

    Ok I am onto something here, I am performing the length calibration and it is slightly off on some materials that don't track as well. All it needs is a measurement test and adjustment. Well see if this helps my issue.
  13. Need Help accurate cutting

    I cut 3m and Arlon car wrap material with a cast laminate. The cutting is fine, its the fine details that get affected. I am going to run a few tests cutting certain size squares and stuff then measuring the real cut. See if it changes depending on file types, or what not.
  14. Need Help accurate cutting

    What kind of issues do you have with it? I haven't heard a whole lot of negative reviews, but out graphtec is terrible. Tracking is bad, and the registration mark sensing works maybe 1/10 times.
  15. Need Help accurate cutting

    Hello, So we make laptop skins, we run a summa s120t and previously a graphtec ce-6000. I design the files in Adobe illustrator and either cut them with sign master 3 on the graphtec or Flexi with the summa. We have always had issues with wandering accuracy. Sometimes a skin will be spot on...
  16. Discussion Crack and peel stickers??

    So I am confused how this works, do you load the material after cutting the vinyl, load it upside down and cut the backing with the plotter? How would it know where to do the cuts? Sorry this is new to me.
  17. Need Help Contour cut then die/perf/kiss cut with summa s120t

    Ok I found the issue!! I had Flexcut turned on in cutter settings, it is supposed to be off, and then when you send a file with flexcut as a path it will turn it on automatically. FINALLY!! Thank you for the help hopefully anyone who needs help can find this. To flexcut, I set up the flexcut...
  18. Discussion Crack and peel stickers??

    Hey guys, I was looking at a sticker a company gave me, and on the backing it had a slide across it like a (crack and peel) method. This way you just peel a small part of the backing off instead of needing to pick at the edge of the sticker with your fingernail. How do you do this on large...
  19. Need Help Contour cut then die/perf/kiss cut with summa s120t

    OK I found out about flexcut, and I did fix the setting that was causing the cutter to ignore values from Flexi. How do I set a file to do a contour cut and a Flexcut in one job? Do flexcut lines have to be a special color or name?
