Thanks JBurns you were exactly right! I had imported the artwork from a customer and it was an .ai file. It seems they had a double contour on the file! Bonehead me should have checked. Thanks a lot my friend!

I recently started having trouble with my vinyl cutter cutting everything twice. I have the passes set to 1 pass in Flexi PM and it will make the initial cut then reverse direction and go back around the way it came from. It cuts fine it just takes too much time. It does on contour cuts and perf...

Its trial and error. The key for me is using a 60 degree blade and set the blade depth right from the start. Ive had success with multiple cutters even cheapos before i got my envision and graphtec f8600. After you set the blade depth by hand then put it in the plotter and do a test cut. I...

Finally got it printing somewhat. I am missing a lot of nozzles even after multiple cleanings. I have all new dampers installed and have no air in ink lines that i can see. The main problem was the f2 fuse and after I replaced that it went back to printing. Just missing many nozzles and a whole...

Thanks for the tip~ I will definitely check that. I did find a problem with the 2 lines being clogged in the maintenance station. I took it off and cleaned it up soaked all of those lines. Also the 3 rubber lines on the capping station were clogged. They should all be clear now and I plan to put...

Thanks for the replies. I am trying everything stated. It seems the black has an air leak most definitely. I will try to suction the drain hoses next to see if I can pull ink. Like I said I am new to this but I am trying! When I take the line loose above the damper and suction ink pulls perfect...

I just did a head wash. After doing this, I have air in the black ink line. The cyan, yellow, and magenta are fine in the lines it seems. When I try to print, nothing prints. Before the head wash, I did print black and cyan just fine. The yellow and the magenta were clogged. Is there any...

I had this problem once with a Vinyl Express cutter. I use flexi cloud software and production manager and inside production manager I had to select overcut and set it at maybe .20 or similar and it fixed my problem. Mine would do it on every letter when cutting text and I messed with the offset...

Thanks! You're the best! I have looked through fonts until my eyes are ready to explode!

I am trying to identify this font and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just made 20 of these or so if you would like my artwork I would be glad to share. I used a 24 x 18 single sheet of coro to make these. The way to go on these are a cnc no doubt but in a pinch nothing beats a good old utility knife. I made myself a template with plywood and tried routing these...

I cut this stuff quite often from Grimco. I cut square panels as someone mentioned already and that is with a table saw and an 80 tooth blade. You can also route this stuff into shapes fairly easy with a jigsaw and a fine tooth blade. If I have several to make or a design that may need to be...

Convex gear wrap and convex laminate. They are typically printed on clear with a gerber edge then laminated and contour cut. Since it is a pee wee team Id use an 8mil convex gear wrap and an 8 mil convex laminate. I make thousands of these every year and convex is the only product I will use...

This old and resolved I know but just in case I solved this issue just today with 2 old cables I had laying around. A db9 and a db25. I cut the ends off I didn't need and grabbed a soldering gun and a volt meter. I traced the pins out and wrote down the color of each one with the meter. Then I...

I know this post is very old but I ran across it while having the same issue. Cutter works awesome and it wounds like teeth grinding. Well my only solution was take my finger and raise the blade manually all the way to the top. It stops it until I make a cut then it goes back to doing it but it...

I think its been reduced to a faulty foil. Every other foil works on the convex media fine. I tested 14 foils. The only thing I saw was in the foil it looks as if it has scales in certain spots. Those seem to coincide with the lines. None of my other foils have those scales and all are smooth...

Thank You Fred. I do appreciate your advice.

Yes sir. They haven't responded to my email as of yet but it has only been a couple of hours. They have a tech support number and I will try that if they don't respond soon. Flexi did reply and said it seemed to be a media/foil issue also. I did a reprint on oracal clear and it printed fine once...

No luck. I tried with LexEdge and PVC10. The prints are exactly the same and it seems to be in the exact same spot on every print. I'm puzzled. I have cleaned and cleaned and looked for anything that could be affecting the print and find nothing. I will keep trying!
