  1. Corn hole

    I drive by a hey guys house everyday that has 15 or 20 of them sitting out front that he's made custom and covered with vinyl I assume or he's painted it and clear coated it but they look really nice.

  3. Please have administrator setup tsp/ip

    Make sure the printer dhcp off. I had this problem with my cutter last week after moving. It was assigning a new ip address every time but it wasn't showing it on the printer. I also used the USB connection directly to the printer so I could change settings on the printer setup.

  7. Need Help FC9000 - Cutting Issues Barcode and Mark

    Everything has to be set just right and the server has to be running. I found it worked better when I set the machine instruction with the job instead of at the machine. If you try to control it from both in the software and at the machine it seems to get confused.

  9. Fc9000. What brand Vinyl does everyone use to produce clean perf-cuts ?

    I really get a good cut most of the time regardless of the vinyl, but it took me a while to get the pressure settings right and now i found I can just change the pressure settings in the software. Sometimes I still test it if the cut is part of the art. Hope this helps.

    Why are you using Flexi 12. Why not download the new version and upgrade windows to windows 11. There have been a lot of upgrades that handled all of the problems of previous versions. I use it all day everyday for contour cutting labels and have not had any problems since I did those 2...

  14. Need Help Graphtec FC-8600 Cutting Offset when Print and Cut

    Don't forget that the knife has two positions. One for cutting perferations and regular cutting. I often forgot to move it back and would inevitably mess up the next job. So I started moving it back as soon as it was done.
