  1. Vinyl Express Q60 won't let me change the speed

    Correct, your software is controlling the plotter instead of the machine itself. Go into your cut plot screen and where it has the weed border option etc. there will be an edit button, click it and turn those setting off and hit apply and that will get the machine settings being the ones that...
  2. Build your own arcade system

    I'm not good enough to build my own so I've got the Tankstick already from X-arcade and I'm now getting the cabinet from www.recroommasters.com This is good enough for myself, and working with the frontend of www.maximusarcade.com to be able to just leave the machine up and never have to...
  3. Design tech 60 Cutter Driver Problems

    The CE1000-60 driver should work fine. I just hooked up my DesignTech to my windows 7 computer and cut out a test letter A anyway from the USB port and it worked fine with no issues from Flexi. What software are you using by the way?
  4. GLOSS or MATTE -- The Million Dollar Question

    One more vote for matte if the decision was always mine.
  5. Think Twice About Using Signwarehouse!!!

    I don't know the whole situation of course, but speaking of the weather I did just one quick search of UPS shipments out of Texas and customer service via UPS and this is just the first page that came up. "According to the UPS website , my package has been stuck in mesquite, tx for 3 days. I...
  6. System 32 Virus anyone?

    I'm the guy in my family who everyone calls with computer issues. I always keep malewarebyes, Rkill and Combofix on a thumb drive. Just a tip for everyone. Good to have when you need it.
  7. iPhone coming to Verizon, No seriously

    I for one am glad Verizon is getting the Iphone. I'm on At&t and finally we are getting good phones other than the Iphone. Prior At&t just sat around and would not work on getting great phones, now they have too. At CES this year At&t shows off many amazing phones. The Motorola Atrix will be...
  8. Graphtec FC8000 conditions

    Go into the cut/plot screen inside Flexi. Go to the advanced tab and click the edit button I believe at the bottom right. Change the setting to NONE. Your software is over riding all the settings you are changing inside of your cutter.
  9. entire cartridges siphoned empty over night

    I don't know if the set-up is the same, but on the Falcon Outdoors of old :-)this would happen if the pads where the heads set would swell up and touch the bottom of the heads. I don't know if this is the issue you are having, but was a common problem with Mutoh FOD's back in the day. Good Luck,
  10. CE3000-60 leaving nubs

    SignWarehouse version would not have the name CE-3000-60 so it should be a graphtec unless it has VinylExpress on it and not the word Graphtec on the logo. You can re-set the plotter by turning it off and holding the arrow up and then turning it back on while holding it. You will re-set the...

  12. Aurora graphics

    I'm a gamer at heart and found this on my game website of choice, thought you all might find it interesting as it also deals with CAD software. (and I know some of you are gamers also) ps. - To answer the OP, Plotter Art is great as I've sold plenty of it in the past and Aurora is also...
  13. Importing vectors to VE LXi Expert

    Export as EPS from AI then import as EPS into LXI
  14. Serial Port

    This would be the best option. If you don't want to add a card and want to try a USB serial Adapter only buy the Keyspan adapter part # USA-19HS. This adapter seems to be the one that works best with plotters and computers. Good Luck.
  15. Vinyl Express Q160 = FC 7000?

    You can also reset the plotter to factory default by holding arrow up button while turning off and on. This clears all settings to the day you unboxed the machine.
