Good ol' foam tape. You'll need some elbow grease and a metal scraper.. you can use a wizzy wheel as well, but I find a metal scraper works best if you dont need to worry about all the gouges you'll put into the back. Or do what I usually do... thicker foam tape right next to the garbage foam...

I was very bad at quoting before...so I made a simple spreadsheet. You select the media, overlam, substrate, Whether its digitally printed (Ink cost) How many minutes of labor the sign will take... Then you input the size, it'll do a SQFT calculation, type in the quantity... and itll tell you...

The barcode server is very picky. If you have cutting Master open at all while Onyx cut server is open, it'll fail to connect to Onyx. The patch is glitchy. I have a quickset setup that automatically adds a 1 inch bleed and perf cuts it, with the patch installed it all of a sudden shifted every...

Yes it's ok, so long as your warehouse isn't an oven. We've kept ours unplugged for a month and it goes right back up with 1-2 cleanings.

https://www.disneystudiolicensing.com/ Here you go. Sadly it's not free and is likely a bit out of your budget.

Onyx true fit kind of sucked. I might have to try it again but it was a pain in the ass. I use vinyl cut master and it will automatically put a 1/8 inch border , or a close cut around everything with the click of a button. Then I just open it in illustrator... Copy the cut line, add a stroke...

In illustrator open a new document. Drop and drag your file into it, that way it'll be a "link" and it won't touch the text or gradient. Then goto flatten transparency, and make sure outline text is checked. That way it'll flatten the text and fix missing font issues... I believe it also...

Wipe the glue off the machine that gets left from the edges. If you cut thin stuff and you have small pieces of vinyl sticking to the rollers... Peel those off as well.. Change the cutting strip when it needs to be done, not months after (our last graphtec had the channel under the strip cut...

200ml for $75 is expensive. I pay $100ish for 700ml.. so Almost 1/3 the price. Napkin math time .. 2 sqft a shirt (cut marks, leading material, etc). $4 Blank shirt - $5 Ink - $2ish That's $11 a shirt. Let's be generous on time..15 mins to print, well say 5 for at setup and t-shirt prep /...

I believe the bn20 cuts even slower than a cricut, that's why I put it at a step below. Time is money... The Roland can print 7.5 sqft an hour. 7.5.... sqft an hour. I've seen Johnny draw a photo faster than that! You're probably using close to 1.5 sqft of vinyl per shirt. So you can...

Do you do a lot of cutting? Buy the optional take up reel if you don't have it and do! I was always envious of summa users for having the option until graphtec got it... Soon as graphtec came out with one we bought one. We just did 12 rolls print and cut on our graphtec... It was awesome. Drop...

I love the 9000 series..m so much that I upgraded my 8600 at home to one. Just got it today! Got it up and running, only thing left is to do the take up reel. I like to do setups myself... So it was fun to inbox and put together. Adding 2 pinch wheels was a bit of a pain, harder than on the...

Watch some YouTube videos on how slow the bn20 is. Not just that, getting material that you don't have to cut down is expensive. So if you are considering one make sure your local supplier has a slitter otherwise you're paying through the roof for the vinyl. You would have to use heat transfer...

So many posts, so little answers! CM4 looks for CC21, and adobe is now on CC22. There was no core functionality changes... I've been using it all day perfectly fine. If you didnt delete plugins, goto - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2021\Plug-ins copy"Cutplot2378" or whatever...

https://uscutter.com/APPRoller-Tape-Application-Roller/ I use one of these because I'm too lazy to use my laminator at home. It works great... once the border opens I think I'll be picking up the 48" option.

What kind of shop are you buying from? If you're buying from a shop that mostly prints signs or items where a hair behind the vinyl, or a smudge in the corner is acceptable...they might think you're being too picky. We print everything from Reflective Construction signs to 10FT long Second...

Do you ever get it perfectly symetrical doing it by hand like that? Seems to me one side is going to have a different profile than the other. I mean... before CNC's were a thing it had to be done another way, but that seems like a lost art! Personally I would print whatever it is your...

Are there any service manuals out there online for these yet? Always good to have kicking around incase something happens... :D

Is the 700/800 still 12 pass for traffic? The 360 is 12 pass and brutally slow... the 700 says it's twice as fast as the 360. Ours is arriving any day...so I havent been able to check But yes. Traffic companies get a rebate from 3M when purchasing a "Traffic" printer. The 360/365, Durst...

The eBay blade.holders are garbage. If all you're doing is cutting large graphics they're ok... I won't use them for kiss cutting just perf cutting. Check your graphtec holder / blade and see how much back and fourth play the original spindle has.... Then check how much the eBay one has...
