I'm looking into a new Graphtec plotter, but can't find anyone that is cutting their Edge prints with anything but a Gerber plotter. I really don't want to buy a new or...

  4. Having a problem with the black on my 300v *with pics*

    My test prints have looked like that since I bought the machine (Used) 4 years ago. I replaced the pumps, did all cleaning options, etc. It really has not affected my print quality... If you do get it corrected, you probably won't notice a difference either.

  6. Sign Frame Similar to 4Ever Frames

    I've used a couple of PVC post and panel frames from: http://www.thenewkit.com/index.html They are OK, certainly not heavy duty, but good for the right application. Good Luck!
  7. SP300 stops printing

    Well, I'm able to print, thanks to a 6' USB cable, but I do have a computer issue. 1 of 3 Hard drives failed. It may be a controller or the disk TBD. Time to upgrade.....

  11. SP300 stops printing

    I'm running an SP300 with colorip 2.2. Everything has worked well for years. I ran a small file yesterday that just stopped mid-way and the "Now Processing" message appears and hangs. I let it sit for 15 minutes with no activity. I've tried to re-boot, re-rip the file, send a different...

  13. Anyone print to a Versacamm directly from Corel?

    How did anyone even find this thread to reply to it? It's from 2006! I admit, it was lazy on my part not to do more research before asking that question. I just wanted to get a quick reply from people with more experience. Isn't that one of the functions of forums like this? For the...

    Once you convert the original to curves, remove the stroke, use the contour tool to replicate the stroke, then break the contour apart and remove the original graphic.
  15. Just looking for Advice

    Thinking back to when I got into this business in 1990, I would have been SCREWED if I just started my own business back then. I worked in Graphic Design for printed media from 1980 - 1985, learned computer graphics and basic layout. I took a break from that for a while, and then took a...
