  1. Question Cutting Master 4 default number of copies

    OH MY SOUL. This is so annoying! Wonder if there's any way to complain to whoever makes Cutting Master. I just started using it, so hopefully I will not waste TOO much vinyl before I remember to check quantity every time I cut something! :p
  2. Convincing a customer that their file is low resolution

    Any tips on this? Customer wants a large sign made from a terrible .jpg or whatever that looks great on their business card or website. I thought it was a brilliant idea to enlarge the image on my screen to approximate what the final size would be, then do a screen clip of a section of the logo...
  3. Illustrator "outline view" vs. corel "Wireframe view"

    For lettering, you have to "expand" it, or "convert all text to outlines" to be able to see it as wireframe. After you do that, you won't be able to edit it anymore.
  4. Onyx Thrive Error Message

    Thank you! I've been able to fix the problem. The crucial step I was missing was to DELETE the printer and re-install it.
  5. Onyx Thrive Error Message

    Hi, we have Onyx Thrive 22.5 with an Epson SureColor 60600. Had a power blip in the middle of printing. When I restarted the software, I got the message, "Invalid settings file 'blahblahblah' in config file! Server will shut down!" I've re-installed the software twice and cleared my Work folder...
  6. Cutting Master 5 extending cut lines and splitting artwork

    Cutting Master is frequently annoying ;-)
  7. Waste Ink

    I know there are different companies that will rent you a container to pour the ink into, then they pick it up periodically to dispose of it. You'd have to find out which companies are in your area.
  8. Roland TrueVIS Cleaning Fluid Cartridge Empty

    Hi! Running a VG2-540. I've run out of cartridge cleaning fluid in the middle of the "tray cleaning" process and realized I have no replacement cartridge. Anything I can do to make the printer stop beeping and be able to print while I wait for replacement cartridges to arrive? Thanks!
  9. Gerber Plotter Comparison

    Thanks, y'all! Are we the only ones, then, who have a problem keeping vinyl from going off-track with friction-fed plotters? I mean, I can cut 8 or 12 feet on our Graphtec without adjusting, but the Envision sprocket-fed will cut indefinitely long lengths as long as the vinyl edge punch is good...
  10. Gerber Plotter Comparison

    Hi! We're looking at getting a new sprocket-feed plotter (we've had an Envision 375 for 20 years). From research I've done, it looks like the two important advantages of the Envision vs. the cheaper models are SPEED and the ARMS that hold the vinyl down, keep it from jumping off the sprockets as...
  11. Question Roland Waiting 24 Hours Before Lamination

    I used to wait 24 hours but stopped after some authoritative person said it wasn't necessary (can't remember who). Didn't have any problems doing that...that I KNOW OF. We have a new printer now.
  12. Advice on Roland xc540 problem

    We started having this problem at maybe 12 years of printer age. Happened multiple times with different heads, just one side would totally drop out. Our very experienced repair person was never able to figure out why. Multiple parts replaced. The only thing we could do in each instance was...
  13. Question Laminating the hard way; help?

    This is my quick and (really not very) dirty method: a vinyl box with 2 cardboard cores resting in the bottom to hold the roll of printed vinyl as it's pulled through the laminator. It's a lot quicker than loading the roll onto a bar that I then would have trouble lifting by myself. I keep a...
  14. Roland Take System Tricks??

    I've used narrow strips of sturdy paper or vinyl (also cheap floral ribbon, ha). Tape one end to center of your print, tape the other to your core tube on the takeup.
  15. Epson S60600 maintenance

    Yes! Maintenance on this is so minimal and easy. Love it.
  16. Roland Truevis VG2-540 Print/Cut Alignment

    Hi! Roland TrueVis VG2-540. This is a fairly new printer to me. I'm having issues (when printing multiple small decals) with the cut progressively drifting off of alignment as it moves to the end of the sheet (I print in "sheets" of about 3 ft length). I've done print/cut alignment adjustments...
  17. Ethernet cable for Roland TrueVis

    I'm just using a generic cable...works fine.
  18. Epson Edge Dashboard

    I had this issue last week when a power outage messed with IP addresses. I finally realized that there isn't a way to change the IP in EED, so everything else needs to match the IP shown in EED. Change the IP in all other possible places to match that. I changed it on the computer, on the...
  19. Onyx Conserve media not conserving media

    I can trick it sometimes by adjusting "space between copies." Make that distance a little smaller, maybe it will allow the 11x17 to fit. I WISH Onyx allowed more manual adjustment like VersaWorks does.
  20. Longest print you cut on a graphtec accurately

    I wouldn't attempt something that long on my Graphtec. I love it, but max I would attempt is MAYBE 20 ft.
