I need feedback from the hive here. My boss is looking to make fine art prints of illustrations done on our proprietary clothing line. He wants to know how long these prints would last on canvas media. Has anyone here done this type of printing, and what are your results?

Luckily, there were ARMS marks at what would have been a quarter and a half way through the job. I only had to hand cut two decals, and the sales manager can put them on his own truck... It was so strange that the printer misinterpreted the media as being at the end of the roll when there was...

I'm using Illustrator - I make my CutContour lines there which Onyx interprets as a separate cut file.

crossing my fingers...

... Can I still have what was printed cut on the Graphtec? I'd hand cut if it was just paper rectangles, except now I'm doing decals in a complex shape...

I finally got an email back from our tech support guy from Grimco. He said that we should change to a specialized blade for heavy paper - I think we're on the same track here...

Yep. 90 degree rotation on wider media worked. I might even kick up the speed of the Condition as well..

The problem isn't the media, It's these long banners that are getting tangled under the rollers... I tested the blade on the same paper and it worked, although it was cutting out small hangtags. If these blades aren't made for wood pulp products (ask me about my silk shears after they've cut...

I think he saw some time-saving for our other designer - as well as the usual usage of cutting promotional materials such as stickers and decals. Our tech support trainer, however, did say the cutter could do large items such as car wraps - but of course, that's an adhesive backed media with...

Gino, You're preaching to the choir here...

So far, smaller items are OK, as long as I leave a bit of space in between nothing gets tangled or jammed. Unfortunately, we're working with Adobe and Onyx. Again, we'll try a 90 degree rotation and see what happens.

Yes, we're trying this for the first time... I even set my Condition to the slowest possible speed and it still shifted and jammed. Like I said, I wonder if we should use wider media, and rotate the job 90 degrees.... I just need to get the original files from the other designer in the...

Maybe use the Rear Set loading first?

Reading the manual now... Trying to stay awake... I did slow down the cutting speed - maybe slower yet?

...Could there be an issue with the push roller pressure?

I thought this was perf cutting? I'm still getting the definitions correct. The cutter is also shifting the cuts by a half inch on the leftmost banner...

I should have specified - the items are banners, the media is 8 mil glossy photo paper.

I think our other designer has another hundred to do... Part of why our boss got this system was to save hand work, along with the lack of table space to do something so large... I may try it again with wider media and a 90 degree print...

We have a Graphtec 8600 using Onyx. The cut lines are OK, but when it starts cutting, it was only going through half the banner at a time (which looked like a feature of the program to avoid tearing), and then everything shifted. This resulted in wrinkles and tears. I've attached photos of...

I'm wondering why she wants to do that, unless she has a large run of rack topper signs... However, I tested my print with only a CutContour2 layer and spot color, and it worked! Next, I try the dotted perforation...
