  1. Blade drops momentarily before cutting actual design

    That solved it for the most part. It now travels to the initial start point, then back to origin, drops the blade to correct blade direction, then travels to the start point and begins cutting. Takes a few seconds longer with each job but I'll call it a solution for the time being. Thanks for...
  2. Cost of ink per sqft? HP Latex 800

    The color inconsistency is a common problem when printing larger areas of solid colors. I never got it worked out well enough to feel confident selling certain jobs. HP took my first 700w back and supposedly replaced it with a new one that had all the upgrades. After about a month it started...
  3. Blade drops momentarily before cutting actual design

    Sounds about right. I looked for the setting but cant find anything that sounds like its the culprit. The problem is that the small cut it makes ends up on the finished product. The picture I posted is a hood decal for a jeep, the circle is weeded and the unwanted cut remains on the decal. I...
  4. Blade drops momentarily before cutting actual design

    I have an fc9000-160 and cut with the latest flexi. Pretty much since I bought the cutter and started using flexi I’ve had the issue of the cutter blade moving very close to the initial cut position, dropping down and making a very small cut, then lifting up and moving to the actual start of the...
  5. 700w alternatives ?

    I have no advice but am in a similar situation. I replaced my first 700w 11 months in. The second one (a replacement for the first one) is only 6 weeks new and has been down for over a week. Each time the 700w goes down I end up losing around 2k a week in business and also suffer loss of...
  6. Pulling the trigger on a printer? When is the right time?

    I'll throw in my two cents here just because I took the plunge just over a year ago and its been a ride. Im sure shops with multiple printers dont have this problem but when I bought my first printer and it broke down I was at the mercy of the service techs and the printer manufacturer. They...
  7. Thoughts on sharing vector wrap files...

    Add a disclaimer on your quotes that specifies the digital artwork files are not included in the price. They can pay for those separately.
  8. Templating a vehicle

    I’ve tried everything mentioned here and also in the thread mentioned. If you are trying to make templates that are vehicle specific and tightly follow body lines there isn’t anything more accurate than the transfer tape/paper method and then having them scanned in. Taking a picture of your...
  9. HP Latex 800W

    I wish this had been fixed sooner. Not just for me but for others as well. The first two years of the 700/800’s existence is full of negative experiences. I was very close to either going uv or quitting the printing side of things. Hopefully this update/upgrade changes the overall user experience.
  10. HP Latex 800W

    I can speak for the 700w. I bought one in February 2022 and had nothing but problems with it. It was down as frequently as it was running. At 11 months I asked for another year warranty, a new printer replacement, or a refund. I got a new printer and its actually been flawless. Ive only been...
  11. BEST MATERIAL TO WRAP A RESTAURANT TABLE ?

    I concur with Stacy on this. The vinyl is important but I feel the laminate you use is far more important. She mentioned using Oraguard 270G PPF. I would think that should hold up better than just about any laminate. Im not sure what your budget is but its more expensive than laminate.
  12. Rotating in Flexi

    Yeah, and to further explain, my original background in n design was designing homes in autocad. When you draw an object and it doesn’t close by 1/16” you tend to try and figure out where the problem is. So I was trained originally to accept nothing but precision accuracy and it’s just carried...
  13. Rotating in Flexi

    The 1/16” gap looks massive when you zoom in really close. Lol
  14. Rotating in Flexi

    The accuracy would be enough for just about anything else but the template is large/long so the error is magnified across that length. It’s a template of an irregular shaped object that we’ll need to cut stuff for over and over so I was just hoping someone knew of a setting that would solve my...
  15. Rotating in Flexi

    In Flexi is there a way to rotate by anything more accurate than 0.1 degrees? If I rotate an object and try to rotate by 0.01 degrees it reverts it to 0.1 and the OCD in me doesnt want to accept that. Ive scanned in an object that was too large for our scanner so it required 2 scans and I need...
  16. Facebook Marketplace anyone?

    Paid ads for the most part are a break even investment or you dont make enough to feel its worth continuing dishing out the money. If you are running ads or marketing yourself in any capacity you need to put yourself where the buyers are. Your buyers are not the FB marketplace buyers...
  17. Transfer tap the comes on liner

    Im looking for a decent transfer tape that comes on its own liner rather than the standard rolls. I do various jobs where I feel having it would be helpful. Any help would be appreciated.
  18. A Serbian guy who sell templates on Internet

    Seems legit. Or you could talk to these people at Procutfiles.com. A US based legitimate business. The files are spot on. I get emails weekly for new templates they’ve added.
  19. Mimaki UV vs HP Latex

    Update to the 700w. After almost a year long battle with my 700w they agreed to provide me with a brand new one. I’m assuming the latest firmware and other updates/upgrades made to the 700w since it’s inception have improved it. I’m noticing a faster “first print of the day” start time…seems to...
  20. looking for small sticker machine

    Afinia label printers. https://afinialabel.com/digital-label-printers/ I’m not sure what your price point is but they have a handful of different models that range in price. Use it in conjunction with their label finishers (laminates, cuts, weeds, rolls it all up or crosscuts each sticker).
