I am looking at buying replacement blades for my Graphtec plotter. Two companies are selling part #CBO9U 45 degree blades. One company is selling them for $11 each, the other is selling 2 for $91. Has anyone noticed a significant difference in quality by suppliers?

Sign rules in office park call for installing 2'x8' x 1.5" HDU sign using Z-Clips on exterior wall. I'll need to get a sign permit. Where can I find information on structural engineering to know how many clips to use, what size clips, etc. We don't know what the wall is made of - block or wood...

Thanks for all the responses - I learned some things. The mystery is now solved. I did a reboot and all the tmp fonts went away. The thing is that since I do a lot of work at home I keep my computer running 24/7 at the shop to access it remotely. I am guessing those temp fonts must have been...

Tried it. No matches found.

I tried that but the bad fonts do not show up on that list. I can't figure out where they can be. They also appear in Microsoft Word text drop down. I am guessing that they somehow got on my computer when I went to the free font sites and downloaded some other fonts. I know these font were not...

do you know of a solution to eliminate these fonts?

For some reason I have gotten about 200 new unsolicited fonts that show up in my Corel font drop down when I am entering text and choosing a font. An example is "Z@rff.tmp" and they all are bunched together in the Corel font drop down list. I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of...

We had a sales rep come in Friday with a sample material call "Sky Board". It has an eps foam core and a smooth plastic type surface on two sides. It looks similar to your photo. Don't Google the name because all you get is skateboards. The label on the product says: Division of EPS Specialties...

I recently dropped State Farm and am insured by Safeco. Saved a bunch of money. We are a 3 person shop. My husband and I are exempt from WC as we are both officers of the S Corp. Our employee is leased. We pay 1.5% of his wage to the leasing company. They pay all the taxes, Soc Sec, and Work...

Yes, I got the same error message.

I've been using my Graphtec plotter for about 15 years and have never had it malfunction. I recently had to replace some parts and the Graphtec support people actually answered me, even with this outdated plotter. I would definitely buy Graphtec again.

I went to load my Graphtec FC4100-75 plotter and I heard a "snap, bang" sound and a screw fell on the floor. Not a good sound! My media hold down lever came loose. I replaced the screw but the lever is not functioning correctly as it is not raising and lowering the hold down rollers. Is there a...

Thanks for the replies. I ended up getting the 5100 strip from Graphtec as they told me it would work - and it does. Another supplier told me the 5100 would NOT work in the 4100 cutter. Glad I didn't listen to them.

I would suggest someone who specializes in sign design - have you looked at Sign Amigo. I've not used him but his designs and pricing look good.

That's been done. Thanks. I'm still having the same problem. Guess I need to contact the plotter doctor.

Thanks for your reply. That could be the reason why the wheel is digging into the paper but would that cause the cutting head to go way off track. Instead of stopping at the top or bottom margin, the carriage is slamming into the ends of the machine, sometimes it does this with the head in the...

I can't seem to find a replacement strip for my Graphtec FC4100 series cutter. There are strips on line for purchase for the FC5100 or the CE series. They all look alike to me; I've tried asking sales people what I can use for my cutter and can't seem to get an answer after 2 days of searching...

Lately I have been having problems making pounce patterns on my Gerber 4B plotter. I am using SignLab software. As I'm watching the plotter perforate the paper all of a sudden the pounce wheel digs into the paper and starts cutting erratically - going way off course. This happen randomly. I can...

The white undercoat is an acrylic latex paint. Since the AquaLeaf is semi transparent it's important to have a good white base to build upon. I've used this product/method in the past with success. I don't know why a problem has come up and was wondering if the paint formula had changed. I tried...

The substrate is PVC, which we have been using for about 15 years without any problems. We typically scuff and paint the PVC with one or two coats of acrylic latex paints before rolling on the AquaLeaf. So the top coat is adhereing to the latex paint, not directly to the substrate.
