  1. fc7000 x position error

    For about the last year mine has been doing similar every time I take it to bits etc put back together it seams to cure it for a while Last meaningful thing I did was after checking the voltage output of the power unit was changed the power lead. Instant cure been a month now problem not...
  2. Looking for a copy Wasatch or ColoRip

    Sounds posibly like no profiles or printer set
  3. Print - Lam - Cut problem

    Happens once in awhile I have put it down to distortion during lamination On my pro2 the fourth attempt it goes straight across and finds it
  4. Silver printing pinkish in some spots

    Normally time to change the cap top and wiper in my experience
  5. Vertical Adjustment Calibration

    Well done Thanks for message
  6. Vertical Adjustment Calibration

    The plate you screwed the head too is underneath the chassis plate and should move about a bit so tightening the head screws traps the movement like a sandwich Loosen the front white screw a bit then slacken the head screws the head should slide back and forth a bit if not then the lower plate...
  7. Vertical Adjustment Calibration

    Normal for the head carrier to have seized with dried ink Things they don't say in the manual before fitting any head is free up all the adjustments
  8. Graphtec FC7000 MK-2-75 Cutting pressure issue.

    Next to the coil actuator is a small encoder strip that measures the depth and keeps it constant dust on this strip will give you as described. Also why a dead flat cutting strip is very important any worn areas will give a light cut. As suggested in previous post
  9. Avery MPI 1005 with Roland SC540 ecosol ink going through

    Not a avery fan myself but does look like over inking It is posibly a special version of vw to run a SC so profile could be well off
  10. 15k to start, what to buy? (printer, cutter + maybe laminator)

    Now seen what you are doing the roland correctly set up would eat that job. Can't see the point of laminating what was shown 2 ft material 4 pinch rollers 12 5x7 at a time. In versa works you can set page batch sizes on the roll so it will print and cut a page then start the next page. Keeps...
  11. Useless Graphtec FC8600 won't find registration marks

    Did have a few problems till I read somewhere the marks have to be .5 mm thick haven't had a problem since but to many do and think graphtec need to have a comprehensive guide to help people. I find the manual quite difficult
  12. Graphtec FC8000 irregular cutting

    Presume the 8000 to be similar in the head assembly is a small vertical incoder strip that may be dirty. It's small and delicate I use compressed air Also make sure the cutting strip is flat and has no bumps
  13. Soljet Test Print Help

    That is quite poorly what make inks Looks like it's been standing to long and the pumps and caps not doing their job correctly. To me it does not look like a electrical fault
  14. Magnet cutter

    Love your sprit boys hope you find a solution but anybody that has a flat bed cutter has probably got a little smile on their face If you know anyone that has a flat bed let them cut for you you won't believe how easy it is and accurate
  15. Graphtec FC-7000 - won't go into media detect mode - Position error HELP!

    Sounds like the pinch wheel sensor on the back of the cutter head has failed or lose wire Most common problem on my fc has been flat cable related In service mode is a sensor check test screen to diagnose
  16. VS-540 woes

    I run head height high so to stop the head rubbing the material if there is slight bunching, only notice slight degrade of print quality in very small fine text . So use normal for that. Had mine nearly 5 years and quickly learnt to change the cap around every 4 months. But this latest hassle...
  17. VS-540 woes

    Join the club also having similar cap tops being a right pain Do you by chance leave the head in the high position as I do Only suggestion I have had is to keep the captop rubber moist as much as possible Same with a roland one and aftermarket In the UK white is now max 2 and since the...
  18. XC 540 printing issue - banding?

    When greys are produced it is a mix of all colours until you get to about 75% black then it starts to use black so any misalignment or incorrect rate will show as that sort of banding Dark colours are printing at around 230% ink so a bit of dot gain tends to hide the banding on some materials...
  19. XC 540 printing issue - banding?

    Need to check with nozzle test on that media but think the feed rate is tight Check the rollers are in good condition and it's not pulling on the roll have some slack material behind
  20. Grapthec FC7000 not cutting to complete depth

    Next to the actuator is a vertical encoder strip which may have dirt on it or the eye don't handle it unless careful best just blow it clean Or actuator sticking or head loose The cutting strip must be on these models very flat across the width
