  1. Graphtec Fc8600 "OFF SCALE" - but cuts ok

    Just make sure to lift the lever in the back first so it asks you to load media.... Then the "lock" releases and you can easily drag it across. Works great! You.can still use the crosscut... Just need to be careful. It'll goto.the center of the media, cut t.o.the eft.... Then Right... Then...
  2. Graphtec Fc8600 "OFF SCALE" - but cuts ok

    I'm the onlyone running it... well, 2 others know how, but they barely run it, and they do it the same way as I do so theyre used to it. Sometimes we cut 29.9" out of a 30".... so poll sizing doesn't work. Poll sizing you tend to lose half an inch or so! Honestly, the only downsize is the...
  3. Graphtec Fc8600 "OFF SCALE" - but cuts ok

    I'm pretty sure the graphtec only reads the inside of the marks. So having them thick doesn't make a difference except makes it easier to find them. I read the media at max size with the pinch rollers out as far as they can go... then just keep reloading the media. Even if I load a 30" roll...
  4. hand sanitizer stations

    Ignore him. I can see people not wanting to wear masks. I can even see people thinking the amount of life lost isn't even a big deal (I don't agree with it, but at least they can argue the economy is worth the loss of life). One thing I don't get are the people claiming Covid is just a made...
  5. Question Which Plotter to buy

    And then on the opposite side... I purchased a printer / plotter / laminator for my house. I was upfront with the owner I work for, and he had no issues with it. I've never stolen a client, or even sold locally - I have a completely different business model. I make more doing my own work than I...
  6. What should I have done question

    For some reason after I eat I cough.... A lot. It makes eating out a bit tricky. I try to hold it in, but that doesn't always work out.... I've got a few deathening stares. There's plenty of reasons to cough. Homeless people tend to have health problems. For some reason, even though you'd...
  7. USPS Craziness

    Ups is slammed too. I have some packages shipped two weeks ago that had a Friday estimated deliver on the tracking... Sitting at a Depot for the past 8 days with no updates. Not just one... But about a dozen packages in transit right now nearing the two week mark and no sight in delivery, when...
  8. Curious how you deal with this type of job

    What printer do you have? We print on 3m 7725, laminate it with 8518 and can cut it really small. The plastic backer helps a lot with weeding. 7725 isn't a printable media...but our latex prints on it perfectly. Never tried a solvent so I can't vouch for that
  9. Need Help printer issues AGAIN

    service utilities -> scan axis menu -> force drop detection -> ok - Do that, and itll tell you how many nozzles are out for each head and help you diagnose which, if any head is bad. If one has a high number on it...replace it. If its under the warranty, which it sounds like it is... HP will...
  10. Need Seal 65 EL replacement rollers

    If your roller is thick and you're just trying to fix some cuts.... You can bring it to a plastic shop that has a lathe and they can cut it down for you. We had it done to our rolls roller... Cost was $300 and its as good as new now. Our seal laminator is next.... It has a ton of cuts from the...
  11. I believe in providing levity to my coworkers

    Our cash is going down. $1 usd = $1.36 canadian... I long for the days to be at par again! And yes - 3M is great, we can pay it off via credit card which we do... we get TONS of points. All our sales reps fly to all the shows / stay in hotels for free... We've paid for a few vacations to...
  12. I believe in providing levity to my coworkers

    I need permission when I buy equipment, but thats about it. We order from 3M directly... and I place orders for $40,000 every week (Every 2nd/third week these days) , I'm constantly dropping 10k on various suppliers. I used to get brought every purchase invoice and asked what this and that...

  14. FB500 Magenta print heads not firing

    As others have mentioned, the ink is likely bad... especially since its the magenta which theyre having lots of issues with. Talk to NDgraphics... they sell Nazdar ink in your area, after we switched not a single issue with ink... before hand we were sending boxes back every week... their new...

    I'm not one to sit by when theres work to be done! And I'm especially not one who'd let someone do twice as much grunt work so I can just sit in my air conditioned truck watching her work... :p as nice as a 10 minute nap would have been!

  19. Customer Mask Requirements

    It's my curse :p. I try to over explain everything... because while I may be pointing out I don't agree with something, I don't want people to feel like that means I'm disagreeing with them. A lot of people take stuff personally, better safe than sorry... I'm not here to make enemies!
  20. Customer Mask Requirements

    My wife and kid hold dual citizenship, and one day I will to, I've always planned on moving to USA one day... which is why I keep up on the politics and how things are down there. My wife votes... so my opinion I'm sure slightly influences her, which means I do have a bit of say...a tiny bit...
