  1. Paving dump truck printed vinyl failing

    It is a 7 mil film which makes it 3.5 times thicker than IJ180, that might insulate the laminate to some degree? Pretty obvious that extreme heat is the culprit, just look at the top of the "C" and "H" in both photos are perfectly fine.
  2. Non-OEM Summa Blade Alternative?

    Fellers and Grimco sell them as well.
  3. Laminating straight and square issues

    Take about 10 to 12 feet of scrap vinyl that is slightly narrower than your rollers and laminate it making sure to cut both ends squarely. On the feed table, draw a "square line" where the right edge of your vinyl will be when centered on the rollers. With your NIP down with moderate...

  8. cutting out reflective printed decals

    Scotch tape works like a champ, the more opacity it has the bettter. We used to run Graphtecs and I dont miss taping crops for hours at a time one tiny bit.
  9. Flexi crashed while saving, now file won't open.

    With Fellers if you have an account with them the price you have arranged with your rep shows up on the website(after a few days), not the catalog price.

  17. More Graphtec Problems...

    This is worth a shot. Try squaring the crop marks and not the media. Take a thumb tack and line up crops by sticking the thumb tack through the media just outside the crops using the groove between the front bezel and flat platen piece to square the crops to the machine. You possibly had the...

    Try some of Oracals profiles for that printer, especially 3640 and 3951 for slightly richer colors. I used those two for several years on an L25 on dozens of medias with great, consistent prints.
