Hello all, Just replaced the cap station in this machine. I figured the OEM one has seen better days and the seal started to fail on it, resulting in a dry head after a weekend of sitting. After two weeks of taking 90 minute head soaks on Mondays, I ordered a OEM cap off eBay. Replaced it...

Hello everyone, we have been a long time user of the 582U transfer tape but the last few logs we have gotten aren't sticking the release liner of the vinyl. It is curling up and even taking some of the vinyl with it. I thought it may have just gotten a bad log of it but several logs in and the...

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I have been on the forum! Anyway, I just spent the last 10 minutes searching here for an answer I couldn't find. Here is the issue, we have been digitally printing on 680CR and laminating with 8518, however, when cutting, we notice that there is glue...

We use razor blades that come in a clear box with a red lable. They get dull insanely fast. After trimming maybe 10 things on our cut mat, they are dull. Also, we use them to pop the occosional bubble. If we pop 5 bubbles with them, they are toast. So, what do you guys use? Any help would be...

Hey all, we have a potential job we are quoting on and we have printed small decals but never large quantites of vehicle graphics before. We have to quote on 120 vehicles. We will be using 3M 180 with 3M 8518 Gloss which costs us $2.63 per sqft printed. They will need to be contour cut as well...

Hello all, a few weeks ago I was messing around with printing on some chrome and diamond plate vinyl we had around the shop. Well, the Avery Chrome didn't like the solvent ink but the Diamond Plate we carry did. We had a customer see our sample print and they really like it. The vinyl is made...

Hello all, this is the first time we are a little stumped on how to price a digital job. The decal itself is roughly 16"x11.5" but it is contur cut. We use 3M IJ5100 with 3M 8508 laminate. We do not usually do reflective decals this large and we want to see what others think of our pricing. We...

Ever since we got the machine, the cutting accuracy has been less than desirable. It seems the machine is off in the X-axis direction. For example, if we print a 1x3 rectangle, it will cut the 1" sides dead on(y-axis), but the length (x-axis) off by a mm or two. We are kinda getting fed up with...

Ok, so recently we have been experiencing an abudnance of "Out of Print Area" errors when going back and trying to CUT with CROP MARKS. The machine is detecting the media at about .5" less than the required distance, but it finds all the crop marks just fine. I am using Rasterlink Pro5SG with a...
