I'll second the above. We use it all the time without any problems.

Yes, that's how I do nearly everything that needs a jig right now. Put paper/vinyl on bed, set Z height, print outline of item. Place item, reset Z height, print artwork on item. Given you have a jig already made, perhaps you could print the outline of the jig on paper/vinyl, and situate the...

I'm running Epson, but use a ton of the 2755 in both 25.5" (sliced down) and 54". Most of the 54" is printed full width with no color variation from side to side. I've printed small amounts of 30" wide ultracurve and 440 without issue as well. That may not be overly helpful, save for the fast...

.9 blades - For regular vinyl up to 8-10 mil, I'll use China 45 .9mm blades and a plastic tip holder. 1.5 blades - For magnet, I only use 60 from clean cut with a red top brass tip holder. The graphtec blades are fine too, but the price is too high. I tried some of the chinese 60 degree blades...

Good for you. I was trying to get him to come down on price a bit more, as it would have been a second FCX for me and didn't really need it. He did seem like a very nice guy. I built a box around my vacuum and it helped a lot but you have to watch temps. They are certainly slower than roll...

Did you happen to buy the one that was just on eBay for ~$6500? It won't detect media size. You'll set your XY origin by moving the blade to a point and pressing the origin key on the cutter. If you're only using 12" of the bed, I'd recommend covering the rest of the bed with another piece of...

I bought an LEF300 used and didn't RTFM before buying it. My experience is that the unit needs to be at 68F to start, per the manual. It won't run and you'll get an error (TEMPERATURE IS TOO LOW **°C) if less than that. Once you are up to temp and start up successfully, the temp in the room can...

Cause: •CSIC control error •The drive circuit damage in the Print Head was caused by the blown 42V fuse on the main board Check Item: Check the resistance between the terminals of “F12” on the main board If the resistance of “F12”on the main board has more than “1Ω”: The fuse on the main board...

Yeah - it just reduces the risk of vinyl getting caught on anything, I suppose. It's only an extra 2-3 inches. When I started a long time ago, I would worry about not wasting inches of vinyl. Now I can't be bothered to worry about it... Also, to your point, I like to have a bit extra on each end...

This is happening because you're reloading media every job by using sheets. My S80600, upon loading new media, rolls media out for a couple feet, then back and leaves some media hanging out front. You can roll the media back using the up arrow button after the above is done. The media needs to...

I recently had a damper replaced on a new-used LEF-300 by a tech for the exact reason that the manual required this sheet. He gets on site to do the work. No sheet. Asked him about it. Doesn't use it. So the tech call was $50 for a damper and a couple hundred bucks for labor. I'd say it's not...

Is there another method to update firmware? We are having trouble updating via the tool on the Epson site.

Seems like a lot of people here use Trello or similar that allows employees to update jobs so everyone can see the status. This removes the need to go looking for a job on the floor. It may require adding workstations that are used to update the status of a job throughout the shop. Regarding...

That's frustrating. Where I work during the day (not in the sign industry), we offer service contracts and we ensure everything is sent the first time. It's cheaper to send a tech once with extra parts that can be returned than it is to send the tech multiple times. Plus, those who are paying a...

It all boils down to whether you can stomach downtime. I applaud you for taking ownership of the problem instead of blaming the service company or parts company. We have redundancy in every aspect of our shop, from printers to computers to cutters. Sometimes the redundant measure isn't as...

Agreed. The marks waste a few inches, if that.

What are you cutting? I run an FC2250-60 without any problems, cutting vinyl, magnetics, etc.

Trigon rocks!

You need to ask Epson to send a tech out. You need to actually say that, otherwise they will continue to try to troubleshoot over the phone and email, which takes a lot of time. I think I may have gotten an email from them per day, even though I responded promptly. Once you ask for a tech, they...

Mine never look that bad. Perhaps they weren't cleaned frequently enough. The capping station just looks to need cleaned well. I don't expect to see the staining between nozzles on the head like that. How does the nozzle check look?
