  1. FC7000 Pulling up corners while cutting

    I grow weary of typing this, doesn't anyone ever listen? First remove the blade holder, unscrew the cap, remove the blade and spring, and with a toothpick lubricate the tiny ball bearings up inside with just a wee bit of silicone grease. Then you need to remove the dust cover from the tool...
  2. Windows 10.... Am I safe to download this?

    I downloaded Windows 10 and everything I was running under WIndows 7 seemed to function just fine. Flexi 8.6, Corel X6, Firefox, Outlook, Excel 2010 and 2013, and everything else I ran. But...I didn't particularly care for 10, the one thing I couldn't tolerate is the drop shadows on desktop...
  3. Vintage Dairy Queen Sign

    Only $695 eh? If anyone were to pay that for that thing they should beat their guide dog. What the hell good is it? It isn't worth hauling to the dump.
  4. Corel X8 is out!!!!!!!!!!!

    Because of...?
  5. Handy Signs.

    Good job but why did you color the hand[s] zombie green? Were you trying to make it look as if it had been dead for a month and had just clawed it's way out of a grave? If so then you succeeded.
  6. Internet Upload Speeds

    When we first moved to our current location, somewhat off the beaten path, the only choices we had were Hughes Net and Wildblue. Both satellite uplinks. We went with Wildblue and a few years later went to DishNet which was really Wildblue providing the service. The service was mediocre, the...
  7. window arc for newer f250

    The image of a windshield on a vehicle template invariably is wrong. The problem is that to get a proper image you have to flatten out a three dimensional object. Simple to do. Tape a piece of paper across the windshield. I keep a roll of 24" lightweight white wrapping paper [available at any...
  8. snowy log cabin look

    Has it occurred to you merely to Google "snowy log cabin"? That seems to generate a plethora of images. Perhaps one or more of them might fit your needs.
  9. Graphtec FC 8000 - Adjust default origin

    Answering a question with a question? Please. But, as obtuse are you appear, I'll expand. What do you gain by moving the origin back? If you simply must move it back just press whatever arrows you need until the position of the media and carriage pleases you and then press the 'Origin' button...
  10. Graphtec FC 8000 - Adjust default origin

    Why?
  11. Printing and cut on silver and gold vynil

    Using manual registration marks has nothing to do with any setting on the plotter. In Flexi it's all done in Production manager. I'm sure that other sodtware packages have their own way of dealing with this. Nonetheless, in the Flexi RIP and Print dialog on the cut tab you select the first...
  12. Oracal 290 vs. Clear Shield

    Two data points [yours and mine] do not make for much of a conclusion but the biggest difference between you and me is altitude. As well as the number of days of sun per year I'd wager. You're at 830'+- and I'm at 5,000'+- the difference represents a considerably percentage of our atmosphere...
  13. Printing and cut on silver and gold vynil

    I often print and contour cut on silver metallic [there's no reason to print on gold, just print the right yellow on the silver]. Using automatic registration marks is always a crap shoot. Far more often than not the plotter will fail to detect the automatic registration marks on the metallic...
  14. Oracal 290 vs. Clear Shield

    No secret. I abide in western Colorado. That notwithstanding, I've been using Oracal products almost exclusively for at least 12 years myself. I don't believe that this phenomenon is exclusive to Oracal unless the other examples I've seen just happened to be laminated with it as well. I have no...
  15. Oracal 290 vs. Clear Shield

    I notice that prints laminated with Oracal 290 after five or so years start to turn brown or black where prints coated with Clear Shield look pretty much the same as they did when they were made.Case in point, my own truck. Both the tailgate and the hood have prints on exactly the same media...
  16. FC7000 cutting issue

    How, exactly?
  17. Blue lines on prints?

    Once upon a time I had a Mutoh Falcon, lone since replaced, that did exactly that very same ting. Exactly. It turned out that one of the heads was 'weak'. This term from a posse of Mutoh mavens. The cyan head was 'incontinent' according the bevy of experts and needed replacing. I sold it as is...
  18. My beautiful sign ruined!!

    Remarkable craftsmanship and exquisite execution. Layout and typography...not so much.
  19. Name that font

    Uncial or a variation of that name.
  20. FC7000 cutting issue

    This has nothing to do with offset. Nor poor grammar. Offset, once set, stays set. It never, as in ever, changes unless the physical characteristics of the blade change. Specifically the distance from the tip of the blade to the center of rotation. Even if it were wildly wrong, it wouldn't...
