  1. Glo in the Dark vinyl

    There's a Japanese material that we've heard good things about - Kiwalite Photoluminescent.
  2. print runs

    Bet you were thankful for the Colorado print speed on those.
  3. Graphtec FC9000 reviews and experience

    It's a balancing act between the two. If you extend your blade too far you'll end up with "feathering" when you cut through the liner, leaving a pretty rough finish. Depending on your customers expectations this may be an issue.
  4. Graphtec FC9000 reviews and experience

    FC9000 will read on holographic, the 8600 won't.
  5. Graphtec FC9000 reviews and experience

    We use the regular cut line pattern for all of our work, but we'll switch to the actual perf cut pattern on larger graphics. We run our force at about 30 using Clean Cut blades, although this is going to vary based on the media/laminate.
  6. Can I shake cartridges before turning on printer?

    Hmmm curious. When you let your S80600's go to "sleep" does it actually go into a full sleep mode? Our just turns off the display after 15 minutes, but the blue light stays on solid and the fan continues to spin and whine forever.
  7. Holographic Rainbow Media - Sensor reading problems

    We've done masking tape over the marks then traced with a sharpie. Worked well with our FC8600, although not needed on the newer FC9000 as it has a white laser for mark detection and doesn't seem to have an issue with the holographic.
  8. Help me Decide an Upgrade: Roland VF2-640 or Epson 80600 Printer only?

    No problem! Forgot to mention, don't be afraid of changing to a separate print/cut workflow. Once you get the hang of it you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. There's something very satisfying about watching the printer run full rolls whilst the cutters are humming away simultaneously.
  9. Help me Decide an Upgrade: Roland VF2-640 or Epson 80600 Printer only?

    Can't speak in a direct comparison because I haven't been hands on with the VF2-640, but after 2 years we're still blown away with our S80600. We upgraded from a VS-640 and the Epson is miles better. The print quality is mind blowing and the speed is more than enough to run 2-3 full rolls a day...
  10. What is the award wage for an 18yr old trade assistant / labourer?

    Try https://calculate.fairwork.gov.au/findyouraward it goes through step by step to try and find the correct award and rates based on industry, age, job level and experience.
  11. Covid Sick Time?

    At no point in that reply did I call you stupid, there's no need to start gaslighting. There's an incredible level of misinformation about Australia being used in the US to further certain narratives around COVID. It's disheartening to see an entire countries efforts twisted into a piece of...
  12. Covid Sick Time?

    There's been a lot of dumb shit posted in this website over the years, this might be the winner
  13. What is the machine that can do this process? UV 3d labels? not a sticker?

    Pauly and I went down this rabbit hole a few weeks ago. UV DTF transfers is the term the Chinese manufacturers use and will put you on the right path. The process is pretty straight forward, although hard to mass produce. The film comes in 2 parts - sheet A and sheet B. Sheets A is placed...
  14. Does Graphtec Loupe Have Units?

    Curious to try one of these out now, where did you get yours from Simon?
  15. FC-9000 - Polling Size 1/10th Scale

    Absolutely stumped on this! When we poll the media width within the Cutting Master 4 Plugin it's showing the width at 1/10th of what it actually is (ie. 136.550mm instead of 1365.50mm). If I poll the media width directly within Cutting Master 4 it gives the correct width, so feels like there's...
  16. Graphtec Blade Holders - Decent 3rd Party Options?

    On the hunt for decent 3rd party blade holders for our Graphtec FC8600 and FC9000. Local distributor pricing in Australia is close to $300 per blade holder for OEM Graphtec, so we're trying to find an alternative.
  17. Epson S80600 / Edge Print RIP - Spot Colours

    Page 67 of the "Help" documentation has the information on color collections. This site has a few screenshots of the process that are more useful, just ignore the first few steps - https://docs.coraye.com/colors-tables/export-to-epson-edge-print-rip
  18. Pantone Color Chart to print

    Hey mate, which Pantone Library was this generated from? When I print it on our S80600 using the LAB values within file the colours are insane, I can't get anything we do to come close.
  19. Epson S80600 / Edge Print RIP - Spot Colours

    This was it! There being no default Pantone Library within Epson Edge was what was causing all of my dramas. It was able to recognize the spot colours but had no library to look the values up in, so I added in the Pantone Library as a Color Collection and it's now able to lookup the correct...
  20. Epson S80600 / Edge Print RIP - Spot Colours

    Yes another colour management thread...this one has me completely lost. I'm printing using Epson Edge Print. If I print the Pantone Chart uploaded in this post I get beautiful colour that matches my actual Pantone swatch book nearly perfectly. However if I use the same spot colour (eg. 021C)...
