  1. Registration failed, need help asap

    Reading this thread I was just experiencing the same issues. Figured it out. We had set it to use segmented registration marks when we made the file. Because the file was short it didn't print any extra middle marks. When we would send the file we would immediately get a registration failed...
  2. Question Printing Wrap on L26500

    Too much can go wrong on the plotter side. Square long cuts are always easier on the table for us. straight edge and a clean sharp knife.
  3. DIY Anti-Static

    The way we do it both ends are tied to the machine. The static grounds through the body of the machine and out the plug.
  4. DIY Anti-Static

    The machines are already grounded. Use an existing unpainted screw or drill a small hole and just tie the string to the machine. Static string is all you need.
  5. Need Help Diamond Grade Reflective cutting

    Try transfer tape on the back on the 3M material. It will add traction to the rollers. 60 degree blade and go slow.
  6. Need Help Brain Fart.........................

    Wow. interesting what it catches and what it doesn't. F A R T but not twat? Just checking.
  7. Would you accept this job? Is it even possible??

    Could you just apply flat panels to the outside of the container? Would make it look nicer.
  8. Metal hole punch

    https://www.kempler.com/inventory/presses/obi-flywheel-punch-press I would suggest finding a used machine and having the dies for the hole sizes you need made. most of them have a flat table that you can build off of and bolt your squares to so that you make the hole alignment for each size...
  9. Contour Cut - Smoother lines?

    Agree just remove the nodes that are causing issues and the do your step/repeat.
  10. Making a standing banner for our shop, thoughts?

    I agree with Gino in that it's closer to an orange tree with off shape oranges. The grid pattern bugs me. I don't like how it goes straight up and then fades off at the top of the trees. Just all around not a huge fan. But instead of convincing them to change the logo. Convince them to...
  11. Squeeze Roller - getting wrinkles

    Why not just apply it by hand it doesn't take much longer and comes out just as nice. When is the last time you replaced the rubber on your squeeze roller? We replace rubber on our laminators and application tables every other year basically. Because of this. Especially on the squeeze...
  12. Wood desk name plate holder

    Take it to a lumber yard. Match a similar grain and stain and make them yourself. Felt from the craft store can be glued to the bottom. I wish while you were typing a response it would show you current responses being submitted. Gino stole my answer.
  13. Need Help Graphtech FC8000 not cutting accurately

    1. Create the print and cut file from illustrator with cutting master. 2. Export the print file to flexi with the registration marks on it already. 3. Only use flexi to print the file. 4. Connect the graphtec to the illustrator computer and cut the print from cutting master. Your life will...
  14. Some handlettered work

    Do you find it hard to charge for your talent???? These layouts could easily be copied and digitally printed for I'm guessing half the cost. How do you market the added cost of your signs? What's the benefit to the end user. Lifespan of the paint vs. lifespan of the vinyl?
  15. Need Help Graphtech FC8000 not cutting accurately

    Can you give us a walkthrough of your setup process for print/cut. With illustrator and flexi and other programs there are different ways you can setup the print/cut file. There might be something in the process you are doing that is throwing it off. Normally when you see cuts like this that...
