  1. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    We had nothing but problems with ours finding the marks (same thing once in a while after 8 attemps it would find them sometime not at all), we use 99% high gloss media and could never get it to consistantly find the marks, it was a very fusterating machine for us to run. Between that and the...
  2. Wasatch VS Onyx

    What rip are you using? How do you get the opus marks on the print? I am using flexi for rip and cut, save the cut to a .plt file then send the plt file to summa cutter control. Thanks for all the help.
  3. Wasatch VS Onyx

    Thanks for the input. I added countour cut in illustrator, flexi don't like illy gradients and versa won't print opus marks for the summa. To get the graphic into flexi i had to rasterize it causing it to loose some clarity. Does onyx poster shop do contour cuts?
  4. Wasatch VS Onyx

    We currently use Flexi 8.6 as our rip. We print to a Roland VP-540 and cut with a Summa D-series S140. Sometimes we get files made with Illustrator, with gradients, and when they are imported to flexi they come in with masks, each shade of the gradients become separate pieces, ect. I can add...
  5. Flexi Pro 8.6 Upgrade Freezes On Launch

    I had the same problem with the latest upgrade, had to go nack to sp1 build number 1437. I use xp64 on a amd phenom processer.
  6. Flexi 10 Coming Soon

    Thanks that helps make my decision easy. I have the key with the light.
  7. Flexi 10 Coming Soon

    Even if I wanted to load both or go back I can't, cause the USB key gets Burnt out when I upgrade...... Understand? That is why it kinda sucked when I upgraded last time and was unable to open old files and unable to reload software to open them. Luckily I had a friend with 8.1.
  8. Flexi 10 Coming Soon

    I like the print quality I get from 8.6 but have only used 8.1 and 8.6 for printing never 7.6, and 8.1 couldn't run the VP-540 so I used versaworks when I had 8.1. Now we are using a summa to cut with so versaworks is out of the question for printing.
  9. Flexi 10 Coming Soon

    What happens if you upgrade from 8.6 to Flexi 10 and you have problems, can you go back to 8.6???? Cause when I upgraded from 8.1 to 8.5, 8.1 didn't work anymore. I then had problems opening some rather large files in 8.6 but when I brought them to a friends shop with 8.1 they opened fine...

  11. ??? Arlon DPF 4560GT Wrap Vinyl ???

    Its not really wrap material. The 4560GT its calendered not cast so it will shrink in time. The 4560GTX has air release so it installs easier. It prints nice but some people have had problems with the glue separating from the vinyl.

  13. FC8000-60 (24") VS Roland GX-PRO 300

    I have no experience with the roland cutter, but I had nothing but problems getting the graphtec to read crop marks. So if you are planning on printing then laminating and cutting with the graphtec be careful. We sent the graphtec back and got a Summa which has found the marks flawlessly on all...
  14. Froze problem - can't save

    I would recomend windows XP64 we had nothing but problems with flexi and vista
  15. Graphtec FC8000-130 Problems

    Send it back while you still can!!! We could never get ours to read the registration marks consistantly either. Sometimes after 10 tries of sending the same file it would work. Sometimes it would work fine for days. Our salesman took it back and we bought a Summa S Class Series. So far the only...
  16. FC7000 reg mark issues

    our fc-8000 ran most consistantly by saving the plt file out of flexi and opening that in cutmaster. even then it never could find the crop marks all the time. we sent it back and bought a summa
  17. How well does your roland cut after laminated?

    We found ours cut off more when the speed was fast, and also if you have too much pressure it will gradually cut more off through out the run in all directions. On long runs it seems when going forward and backward it moves real fast and when it hits the ground the jams the vinyl causing it to...
  18. Graphtec FC8000 issue

    We also had nothing but trouble with ours. Never Consistant, could not find marks, ect. We sent it back and got a Summa.
  19. New FC8000 Cutting Issue

    We have not tried that option on either machine yet. Do you use perf cut often? So far the Summa is a lot more accurate, faster and has never missed the alignment marks. The only thing I don't like about the summa is no network card and must be connected by usb.
  20. New FC8000 Cutting Issue

    Good Luck That is one problem ours didn't have. Ours cut fine as long as it didn't have to find crop marks. We had nothing but problems finding crop marks, sometimes it would not find them, sometimes it would find them and cut off, sometimes it would find them and cut perfect, sometimes it...
