I'm learning and practicing more each day with our new equipment (SureColor S60600 and Graphtec cutter)... I think I have the basics of setting up CutContour layers, spot colors, making sure my print file isn't too wide for the sample media we were provided, and I've gotten good kiss cuts and...

I'm amazed they didn't go after the singer Cat Power.

I'm brainstorming for punch out shape ideas - whether leave items for sales shows, or hangtags, etc. So, my brain might be on the right track of designing a dashed Cut Contour line. I guess I need to experiment... The manual just had the basics of how to set up a Condition and coordinate it...

Thanks Unclebun! I get that - and I'm getting better at setting up the contour cut lines. However, I'd like to have an item still attached to the back of the paper stock, but with the tiny cuts that allow an end user to pop it out when they need it - like postage stamps. Would I create a cut...

Please chastise me if this is posted elsewhere... I'm reading that the definition of a perforation cut is when the cutter goes through all the layers of media to cut out the item. What type of cutting would make a "perforation?" I.e., when there is a line of small dots or dashes of cuts so an...

It's about experimenting with the capacity of the cutter... We might not save much money, but if I can make something unique, it might be worth it...

The real issue is getting together with the owner and the Grimco sales rep to find the most appropriate media for our purposes... The samples so far are disappointing...

I've seen a few like that - it's a heavier clear media, right? That would look unique...

That's what I thought. Unless they start thinking about a fancier die cut to make us stand out from the ocean of rectangles, it may not be worth the time...

However, the clear vinyl is being tested on our glass doors, they seem OK so far (crossing fingers). My managers want something like that for window decals...

With our new equipment, the idea of printing our own business cards has come up. ...which now brings up a bunch of questions: A. Is it possible to print double-sided for something that small? B. Could I just have our ordinary Canon printer added to Onyx, print to 11 x 17, and then cut them on...

<sigh> and getting the owner of my company to sit down to a meeting with a media expert to review products is like pulling teeth...

How much pressure? The videos of wraps being installed only show a rubber squeegee and bare hands being used...

We have a SureColor S60600 and the vinyl that peeled the fastest was General Formulations GF255 Vinyl Clear Gloss that came as a sample. The other was a sample as well - it might have been 3M, the packaging was thrown out - that was meant to be used for car wraps. One would think it would...

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I did get tech support from Grimco, both on the phone and in person... (I played around and found the manual settings as well) We did have to massage the profiles somewhat, as well as the cut Conditions... I think we need to get media that's formulated for...

I'm following this thread as a new user of a solvent-based printer. I'm testing different types of vinyl for in-house promotional printing. After getting through paper profile, placement, and design issues, I'm noticing that only after a day one type of vinyl is curling off my metal wall...

Marcelo was a miracle worker! I'm a newbie at large format printing... I thought it would be easy going from an HP to a new Epson/Graphtec combination, but I was wrong. Tech support by phone only helped so much, having him come back for some intensive coaching made me think in five new...

Bly, how do you do your own? Is that in Onyx? Also, can a conflict between Onyx and the printer's profiles happen?

One would think it would be easy - However, I have a 27 inch roll, but the only options are either 30 or 24 inch under that profile... With the generic profile that works for my 36" wide glossy stock, I was able to fake it by choosing the next smaller width... I'm heading to the Onyx site next...

Thanks for the replies! Unclebun, I tried to download a profile for Onyx, right from the media manufacturer, and I got a "conflicting paper size" error and it didn't print at all. Somehow, I don't get the full gamut of widths to choose from to set the measurement, but with other profiles, I...
