What was the issue nbk? Or did D1 just throw a new print head in it and call it good?

Oracal 3641 or 3951, I use one of these 99% of the time regardless of media.

The replacement strip is sixty something dollars plus shipping. I'd plan on about 3 hours to remove the glue from the old one, must be thoroughly removed and cleaned. After that it is essentially like putting a new cutter strip on.

What materials are you using? I cut a lot of 10mil textured lam on our S2T and I've found for best results I have to print on 30" media, if you go any wider you'll find that the media likes to buckle between the pinch rollers and this typically causes skewing as it feeds back and forth.

Has anyone installed a Media Select Kit on a S2 T series? Just wondering how difficult these are to install. We cut some heavy laminates and our failure rate is very low, but I feel like another pinch roller would be a tremendous help getting failures to zero. Thanks for any input...

I would highly recommend flattening .pdf files before sending them into flexi, strokes and gradients will usually be wrong if you do not.

Give Advantage Sign & Graphics a call, they have better technicians than the "authorized" service centers that Graphtec requires you to use for warranty work, it won't be free or even cheap but it will be done correctly the first time.

We got rid of our L25 a while ago but I remember that happening on more than one occasion. A new print head will likely resolve your issue, make sure you clean the contacts also.

It would definitely decrease UV degradation, so yes it would help for sure. Comparing 651 to 951 is like comparing a Chevette to a Corvette. 951 costs roughly 3 times more for a reason.

Windows print spooler service can get weird sometimes. One thing worth trying: (copied from google) Start the Print Spooler service from the Services console. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK. Right-click the Print Spooler service, and then click Stop. Right-click...

A technique similar to the one in this video may help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFEvctCEYq8

print the side with least ink coverage off to one side first, let cure a bit maybe....rewind and print the other side offset to the opposite side.

How about the Dark Grey ORAFOL 970RA Wrapping Cast? I know you said you checked Oracal but I don't think 970 is in the standard swatch book. ORAFOL 751 in Anthracite color is a deep dark grey also.

Check your port settings, may have defaulted back to something else with the update.

Or Poly Styrene Latex perhaps, or maybe Pressure Sensitive Lamenated? Who knows- it could just be an internal identifier for the company that did the quote.

With 5700 I've found that the first 3 or 4 feet are usually contaminated all to heck for printing, you get a lot of mottling. Thoroughly cleaning with isopropyl can help but wont eliminate this. After you get through those first few feet though it has always printed perfectly fine for me. I...

5700 prints great on both latex and solvent, and is a quite a bit cheaper. If you don't need the conformability. Does not weed nearly as well as 5600 though.

Oralite 5600 weeds pretty decent at that size, like Andy said, it's going to suck on any reflective.

Krud Kutter from Menards is decent for the money on most vinyls. Franmar Ickee Stickee Unstuck has worked the best for me on tough removal jobs, wearing gloves(if you like having skin) and a ventilated area are highly recommended. It can be found here...
