    Hey folks, I have an issue with a label file I've created print and cut on our HP Latex 315 Print & Cut system. For some reason, the die-cutter keeps trying to cut the square twice which is causing it to be torn up and rough on the edges. I thought it had to do with me using an old file and...

  6. Question Die cut stickers! What media is best for an HP Latex 360 or Canon iPF 8400s

    I see all these companies coming out with die-cut stickers and decals, like sticker app, Vinyl Bandits, Rockin' Stickers, etc. What material are they using? Maybe something that doesn't have curl. The media I have tends to curl on the edges after a while. I have an HP Latex 360 and a Canon...

    I am doing a partial wrap on the sides of a van and wanted to do a contour cut. It's not a complex CutContour, but it is about 123" long. Can my Graphtec FC8600 handle this job? I'm printing on a 54" roll, wish I can print side by side, but I cannot. Pictures attached.

  11. Cutcontour from Flexi to Versaworks

    Hello! I'm new to Versaworks (been using Flexi) and I see that from Flexi there's an option to send the file as a .eps straight to Versaworks. If you're wondering why, I noticed that Versaworks prints the colour much better so I want to switch over. Does anyone know how to do this properly...

    Hi all, currently having some issues with our VS-640. Doing some truck lettering and some of the letters aren't fully cut, mostly things like a G or R, letters that are a little more "complex" than say an L or an O. Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when I check off "Cut Image...
