  1. FC8000 Cutting Plotter Controller

    So if anyone here uses the cutting plotter controller here they know that after you hit print the controller screen pops up and you hit "cut" and it cuts out your design. But for some reason mine will not do that, i have re installed it and everything. Any suggestions cause i am all out of them!
  2. FC8000 Alignment

    Is there a way you can use the machine to align the vinyl? Or has someone come up with a bracket you can use to keep the roll aligned? I am cutting a bunch of small parts and some of them overlap each other. But by the time it gets to the end of the section it usually doesn't do it anymore. Any...

  7. Pinch Roller Dissassembly

    On arrival of our Graphtec FC8000-130 series cutter, me and a co worker started fiddling and messing with the cutter, naturally. Well he lifted up the far right pinch roller, the one with the big wheel underneath it. And the arms on the side of the lever broke, well one of them. So i finally...
  8. Anyone!!!!!!!!

  9. Static Fix?

    For some reason Graphtec was nice enough to not design a static output on there machines. It seems to me, and it just may be me, that as the vinyl comes out of the roll slides down the back basket, up across the cutting area, and down the front basket it builds up a lot of static. Yes i have...
  10. Cutting order???

    THE PROBLEM: For some reason my cutter likes to go in a spiral, it will do the outside two rows of parts on the sheet and go around "spiraling" into the center. Now by the time it gets to the center its overlapping parts and wasting material. I re did my design on the page but you can fit a lot...

  12. FC8000-130 - Freez's in the middle of a job & Cross cuts randomly

    Sometimes when we do a job our cutter will just freeze, the screen says working, but yet the machine isn't moving, now this has improved since we got Corel Draw X4, but it still happens! This wouldn't be so bad of a deal but our cutter seems to like to go and do the outside of the page we are...

    We have the Graphtec FC8000-130 Cutter, And we ran an ethernet cable into the other room, well it loses connection after a certain amount of time!! i have no idea how much time but it does lose it. Now when i bring the cutter back into the room i'm in, and use the USB connection, it never loses...
  14. FC8000-130 Allignment

    How do you align the vinyl roll? We use highly reflective material. But to allign it we have been locking the media on the back and pulling it taught, then clamping it down, and unrolling more material. It seems to work the best. Or is there a bracket that we could bolt to the stand on the...
