  3. Graphtec fc 9000 loosing Cutting Force, not cutting properly

    I would replace the cutting strip 1st, especially if there is any uneven areas or parts where the blade has cut thru. Then the blade holder. Be careful with knockoff blade holders, while they may look identical, they are not the same quality as OEM graphtec. Have you updated your Graphtecs...

    If I read that correctly, you applied lamination after you mounted the print? You should apply lamination to the print before you mount the print to the substrate. Also you can you use your lamination machine to mount the print to the aluminum.

  18. Strongly not recommend Flexi RIP and that's why

    Ive ran graphtecs and flexi for 24 years now and I am not the biggest fan of the FC9000. The 8600 was more stable in my opinion and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could find a brand new 60" 8600 for sale. I find myself having to turn it on and off to get it to work correctly quite a...
