  1. what material to make a stencil?

    https://www.breninc.com/product/new-clear-cut-7b-blue-trade/ Clear Cut 7B, it is pretty thin for a parking lot stencil but will get the job done
  2. Opinion Roland TrueVis Vg2 series VS Mimaki CJV 150 series

    I got a new Roland SG2 about a month ago, so far working great and the colors blow my old Roland VS away. It has only been a month for me and 1 set of inks but so far 0 issues, a bit faster than my old printer and colors are WAY better. I went with roland since I already had one and did not want...
  3. Cutting a 54" roll of laminate into smaller rolls

    Just a regular wood blade, don't remember the teeth count but its medium teeth size. No different from cutting wood, go slow and let the blade do the cutting. Depending on the saw size you might have to rotate the roll half way through the cut if the diameter is too big for the saw. make sure...
  4. Cutting a 54" roll of laminate into smaller rolls

    I cut 60" rolls in half all the time with a compound miter saw, nice clean cuts
  5. Question dirtbike graphics

    I have a friend that is trying to sell MX graphics and Ill be printing for him. Search for MX templates, there is a site that sells templates for any bike you can think of. Buy template, design in adobe illustrator and it would be much easier to have someone else print it instead of you learning...
  6. Suggestions Cloud Storage? Do you use it?

    My cutter and printer computers have their network devices disabled and have not seen the world wide web in years, all files are tranfered to those computers on a USB drive as needed. Main computer is backed up with Carbonite and backblaze and I create an image to an external HD every week or...
  7. Fixing USB port on a Roland camm 1 pro

    THANK YOU! can't believe I didn't think of this lol. got the cable ordered
  8. Fixing USB port on a Roland camm 1 pro

    Ok i'm hoping its that easy
  9. Fixing USB port on a Roland camm 1 pro

    The USB port on my 9+ year old camm1 pro cutter has died, cutter works fine except for the USb port. how hard is it to replace the port, want to see if it is something that can be done in case I decide to fix it. This cutter won't be getting much use either way as I have an army on fc9000s now...
  10. Summa vs Graphtec vs Roland

    I posted the in your other thread but quick summary after owning all 3 plotters you are considering, graphtec is by far the best. They'll all get the job done but the graphtec is the least picky when it comes to blade set up, summa t series you will dread putting a new blade in I don't see the...
  11. Graphtec plotter - "Can't Open Port" error

    I guess there is less flex, it makes a significant difference. I usually have 2 holders, 1 for large stuff with cheap blades and 1 for small text with geniun blades. I use the metal holder for all applications as it only slightly more expensive and last a while
  12. Graphtec plotter - "Can't Open Port" error

    Just remembered - using the brass tip tool holder on the graphtec significantly improves small letter cutting, it is way better than the standard holder
  13. Need Help Need help selecting laminator used only for applying transfer tape

    This just gave me an idea to try that I hope works. You know how you have to slide the vinyl and roller back to the starting point if the section you are working on is longer than the table and then continue applying the tape. I will do this and keep adding sections without cutting the transfer...
  14. Need Help Need help selecting laminator used only for applying transfer tape

    I think rolling up right after applying tape also helps and I notice temperature/humidity changes can affect the tape a bit but im totally satisfied with nekoosa 775 /rtape with rla, plus the price i get is hard to beat
  15. Need Help Need help selecting laminator used only for applying transfer tape

    Yes rla does make a huge difference especially when shipping the rolled decals, never get that issue with rla
  16. Graphtec plotter - "Can't Open Port" error

    Hopefully it works out for you, we do lots of small text too and fc9000 runs laps around the s2 tangential. Graphtec with Chinese blades beats summa geniun blades and way faster easier to set up. I got the s2 specifically for small text and its a let down due to the slow speed and set up...
  17. Graphtec plotter - "Can't Open Port" error

    Yea didn't read, im guessing mine will die soon but that's ok since its been going 8hrs a day for years and years
  18. Graphtec plotter - "Can't Open Port" error

    I've owned a summa s2 t series for a couple of years along with graphtecs and roland, I hate the summa, plastic pinch roller handle broke off within a year, summa knows this is so issue but won't do anything about other than sell you another plastic handle. The blades are overpriced and every...
  19. Need Help Need help selecting laminator used only for applying transfer tape

    Pretty much exactly the same stuff as r tape with rla especially now that nekoosa owns r tape and main tape
  20. Graphtec plotter - "Can't Open Port" error

    I get this on my 5 year old fc 8600 from time to time, easiest fix is unplug and plug back in the USB cable
