    I run a graphtec fc-7000 plotter, rip with wasatch, and print on a mutoh 1604 value jet. We print full color to vinyl with registration marks and then put onto the plotter to cut. Here is the problem, some files cut perfect on the graphtec and some do not. ( some files cut way off the mark...
  4. Vista Print another threat

    I've been in the sign biz for 10yrs. At the peak, 850k in revenue and 7 employees. Now two employees and about 120k annual rev.

    Thank you so much. It was set to front feed but once I switched to back feed it seemed to start working. Thanks again.
  11. Graphtec 7000 won't stop feeding the material

    Once I load the media and hit F1, the carrier reads the 2 rollers but then goes to the left and stops and won't stop feeding the material. Sometimes it will go back to the right but it will do the same thing in that position as well. Any advice?

  16. My Mutoh is dancing

    Hello, I have a Mutoh Valuejet 1604, 54". When the material is feeding thru it is jumping, skipping every 3 seconds. This occurs when I manually feed material thru and worst of all when I am printing. When I say manually feeding, ya know pushing the forward button. It takes a little while...

  20. Custom Flag Pricing

    I am wanting to offer custom flags for my customers. But after I tell them the price, I get the "I can get it on the internet for 100 bucks". I of course tell them that price is not for a custom flag of the same quality. I have a company that I can use but no matter what they want to charge...
