I print .030 magnet material 30" × 50' roll on a Roland XR 640 then contour cut it on a Graftec FC2250 flat bed cutter perfect everytime. All shapes and sizes. I started out by printing vinyl and applying it to the maget material which works great also if the customer wants a glossy magnet.

Go to the hardware store and get a 1/4" winged thumb screw and a square nut. Tools needed: vice grips and a grinder. Put square nut in vice grips half way and grind it down until it fits into the slot that holds it into place on the media holder. Mine striped out two years ago and I fixed it for...

I tried to break into the local city and county sign market but my boat was not big enough. So I went to Hotels, Motels, Apartment Buildings and Brick and Morter businesses that have signs that are faded and in disrepair, the doors are opening because they are ignored by the big guys as they are...

As Z Signs said. How about organize a co-op with your competitors and split the cost? This works great for me in our offset printing supplies (paper, ink, plates) to avoid small order and delivery charges I work with three local print shops. We take turns when placeing our paper orders. I dont...

Never had a tech that jury rigged a repair

Banding is the lines you are seeing in your printed art. On my seiko printers I have a print head for every color on Mimaki you have one for all. How old is your printer? Any warranty left? What does your tech reccomend?

Check the Pinch Roller pressure and Vaccume settings, then order a new Cyan Head. You have banding in your solid colors.

As Gino said, Table Saw. Circuclar Saw, Jig Saw. After cutting use a metal file on the edges to take the sharp edges off.

Im running a Roland XR640 print cut, never have cut on the roland. I print a whole 100' roll then cut it on a Graphtec 160 while im printing the next 100' roll. Consumables are much cheaper for the Graphtec than for the Roland.

Graphtec is almost Bullit Proof

Check All of your feed rollers. (Your 3rd picture)

Its probably the non opp side (far left side of the control panel) Pay attention when taking apart. Palce a towel under where you take screws out. There are little shim collars that fall out to nowhere land.

I have fixed two of them by super glueing the tabs back into place. (See broken tabs circled in photo attached) If the tabs are completely broken off you need to buy a new one, but dont throw the broken one away as I am working on a prototype to fix them. Ill post pictures soon to this thread...

This might be the culperate.

Did this problem just start happenning? Have you had any Bad cutting jam ups?

This happens to me at least three times per week. Im running two seiko W-64 and a roland XR-640, I cut everything on Graftec 160 cutters. I just measure out from the last good row of printed images, add a mm for the thickness of my pen, then apply crop marks over my pen marks from another sheet...
