  1. Graphtec problem

    you can cut straight out of corel using the graphtec windows driver saves a lot of bother or cutting master which i think is very poor.
  2. Graphtec problem

    In background settings. Initial blade control sets where the tick is done. Can't remember it being 3mm though The cut starting in the wrong part of the loop I would have thought to be the driver. When I digitise in corel I start the loop and go in the direction I want the knife to go...
  3. How can i change the scan speed while cutting?

    In the cutting menu should be pen up speed good idea to match with cutting speed for difficult media
  4. XC-540 Light Cyan not printing right.. help?

    Just had similar problems which was a faint blue mist and similar test pattern. Your black don't look to healthy either you could do as I did new head to black and the black head to the lt cyan redo the head rank. The deflected nossel s don't show up so bad in the lt colours.
  5. VS540 printer showing ink is out, when cartridge is half full ??

    I have a vs and would start looking to see any bits of cart label stuck down the holder. Or see if the sensor arm is bent or damaged.
  6. Contour cuts WAY OFF !!!

    Sorry you are still struggling 50 attempts is a bit silly they are a long way out so. is the first cut in the right place then miss cuts. As said you must prove the system with the pen stop wasting materials. As I said in post no 6 don't use centre on media I have a vs and the cut is...
  7. Contour cuts WAY OFF !!!

    If using versaworks do not use centre on media and a small eps boarder should be set. The dealer that installed the machine should have tested the alignment and left it perfect.
  8. glossy carbon fiber wrap material.

    I use a gloss carbon that looks like the pic but it is not for wrapping Nothing to stop you printing to wrap materials can look just as good
  9. Perfcut with roland colorip

    been using colourrip for years with my sc540 and to my knowledge it cant be done like it is in versaworks. i can do it on the graphtecs cos its a plotter setting and on the VS540 through versaworks but not as you ask
  10. Graphtec FC8600 - Probable head unit damage?

    so i said If the pad is not fully pressed then it's not tripped over to the cross cutter so the solenoid acts on the vinyl cutting part not the cross cutter. this happened to my fc7000, the same selonoid opperates the vinyl blade as well as the cross cutter as the head goes all the way...
  11. problem with auto vinyl alignment

    don't know about summas but with reflective in my older graphtec i have to hide the front edge with a strip of application tape for it to set up. just a guess remove a half inch strip of the black around the edge so the sensors see the white backing paper not black vinyl. i follow summa print...
  12. Graphtec FC8600 - Probable head unit damage?

    If the cross cutter mechanism is the same as early ones as the head goes to the far left the silver bar that sticks out acts against a pad in side the head unit. If the pad is not fully pressed then it's not tripped over to the cross cutter so the solenoid acts on the vinyl cutting part not the...
  13. Cutting Motocross Decals with Summa S75T

    A flat feed path will cure a lot of your problems but a flat bed cutter will cure all inc cutting the backing as well. If you serious about it a flatbed it is. nice plotter though.
  14. Roland Colorrip cutpath issue

    my guess is that there is a hidden layer or group. copy a bad logo in to a new file and pick it apart to check what outlines are on each bit. perhaps when the cut path was created it was sill grouped or not seperated. its not the actual colour of the cutpath its the name that is reconised in...
  15. Monet Canvas problem with black

    Some good information thank you. I have a Roland pro 2 combined with colourrip and a really excellent profile that prints photos very faithfully. But my vs with vw will print the same file with the colours compressed - poor shadows and blown out high lites. The physical print quality is very...
  16. Monet Canvas problem with black

    Imo versaworks is to dedicated to hi impact graphics leading to these photo problems. Yet to find a good setup in vw that can equal what I am aftr. things not helping you are only a 4 colour system and sign and display which is compress ing the colour range even more.
  17. Tiny label / decal for fishing rods

    All depends what you call tiny but you could be surprised how fine it can print. Also Will it be lacquered over
  18. Cutting lines on a traction fed plotter

    Yes would want a dam good exclamation to go with it. Op you say the media bunches towards one roller. Possibly indicating un equal roller pressure. Acceleration too high. Poor blade and or holder guess this material is quite tough or thick so may need a flat feed path not bending over...
  19. Cutting lines on a traction fed plotter

    This should not be a problem. Check the pinch rollers are equal pressure some are adjustable. Some summas you can slow the acceleration and the pen up speed as well as the cut speed. Quite often cut security strips for Windows lots of 5mm strips on a Roland or graphtec and would expect a...
  20. Most Reflective Metallic Ink printer

    I would much like a edge but don't like the after sales mentality from spandex. So I looked hard at the summa. I rated it not very good for what I wanted. I have a pc60 so now what thermal is about. Just use different machines to their strengths
