Blade Are you using the right blade? I believe you need a 60 degree blade. Do you have the right depth on the blade? Can your new plotter truely handle the media? Check your manual. Have you tried cutting it twice with less depth on the blade?

It all depends I don't know about those thoughts. I had a printer and got rid of it. Cheaper for me to buy a 4 bucks a square foot for decals and banners. They tell you it is under a buck to print, then you need to laminate (well that is your choice) add labour and waste. I don't know if...

Two things From the symptoms you describe it sounds like your hard disk. Ram or heat are the other possibilities already mentioned. Have it tested by a computer guy. My question to you is why would you do all of this? From the sounds of it at least 10 to 12 hours. And installing this...

Commodity Since when do signs become a commodity? I am curious. 2-3 bucks a piece. Are they retarded? It ain't chick peas or pork bellies. I like the flatbed idea. Turn em and burn em for one year. You need a bit more than 100 k but the idea is right. The next time someone puts out an...

Height and Distance Depends on Height and Distance. 1440 sounds like it would take too long. My Summa also has a setting for Lines per inch. A lot of times the most we need is 72 dpi. And that still gives qualtiy work. It is not photo print sharp but still strong colour and resolution for...

It is supposed to be a sign shop buying group. Has anyone ever heard of them?

Sometimes it is better not to answer Sometimes it is just better to say nothing. This question and the one we see about pricing are up to the individual sign shop. So how can anyone truly answer. Why should anyone on this forum get upset about a question?
