This may be a rookie question but I am new to the plotter and Omega software. I know how to slow the plotter but to apply a double cut would this be something done in the software or would I just re-register and plot again. Thanks again for the reply.

Has anyone cut the convex 8mil vinyl with the 8mil over-laminate on the HS15 plotter? can it handle material thick? if so is there any special setup with the plotter? I am assuming I would increase the knife pressure but should it be slowed down? any other tips? Any information at all would be...

Awesome thanks for the info.

Thank for all the responses. So process black can be printed like a spot color? does this just have to be compensated for in the software.

One more thing if printing full color do you need to have the process black or can you substitue the black spot color foil. Sorry new to Gerber printing.

other than price, I see the jet black runs around $10 more for a 45 yd foil. Does the jet black cover better or does it have a special purpose?

That is good to hear. I have been using Oracal for most of my other work and have been very happy with it.

What brands of clear vinyl are you guys using for decals? Is the Gerber brand vinyl worth a try?

Makes sense. So more or less you need to determine how the substrate will react with the colors your printing. So printing yellow straight on red will probably give you a orangish color? is there ever a time where you would choose a colored substrate, other than the obvious reflective, metallic...

May be a dumb question but thought I would ask. Let say you are printing mostly Black label with gold writing? Do you guys use gold vinyl and print black or would you use black vinyl and gold medal ink? or does it not really matter? Is the decision made on which color covers better? Is there a...

Fred, very well put. I understand your point regarding the spot colors. Right now and moving forward I plan on doing small decals/labels, logos/numbers for local sports teams, and various other items all on the smaller size. With that being said I see a major benefits in printing on clear...

What about small detail with spot color printing? I know process printing you will loose some quality because of the way the ink is applied. I have had some experience with an old Roland PC60 and spot color printing even very small was pretty impressive (minus the banding of course).

Couple other things I forgot to add. How does the output quality compare to inkjets? How about small letters crisp or does it get a little blurry like some inkjets I have seen?

Thank you for the information. Does anyone have any closeup pictures of the output from either the edge II or FX. I see pictures on the net but nothing closeup. I have tried to contact a couple suppliers for samples but no luck as of yet. Thanks again.

Has anyone ever replaced the separation lever on a PC60? I have an extra one and would like to replace the original one that is starting to fall apart. Any help would be great.

Fred, thank you for the insight. Are you saying the FX consumables for the most part will be more expensive than supplies for the edge II. Also what are your thoughts on a plotter is it worth stepping up to the envision series over the GSX? Are you using the Omega software? Can you use...

I am new to thermal printing but love the idea of spot color printing especially on clear. With that said I am looking to get the most bang for my buck I am looking to get either a new FX or used edge II. Besides a greater price, what is the advantage in getting an FX over an Edge II. Print...

Thank you. That is what I thought I would need to do.

Does anyone know what numbers correlate with what color ribbons. I am referring to the silver label on the bottom. I know black is 12, Yellow 13, Magenta 14, Cyan 15. To make a long story short I need to find out the numbers for White, Red, Blue, Gold, Silver. And one last question, lets say...

Is it possible to cut images printed with a Roland PC60 with a GX24? I know the sensor on the GX is pretty sensitive on where the Crop marks are placed. I want to give this a try for 2 reasons I can cut while other items are printing and second the cutting on the pc60 seems to be off a little...
