  1. HS15 plus plotter and Convex?

    Let me know if you get it to work. I've tried it several times, adjusted the Z axis, and still couldn't get it to work. Almost, but no.
  2. I found home...

    Welcome from Houston, TX!!!
  3. GOT to be better way for Trans Backlit

    I've done that second surface application before, but it was only for smaller POP display type signage. Stuff that was going to be possibly touched. Otherwise, I would stick with trans over sign white acrylic/polycarbonate. It will diffuse fine.
  4. Software for Edge-2

    I have Omega, Signlab, and Flexi-pro. I use Omega with my Edge. It just works better and there is no surprises. I don't use the Spectratones, but I like using Omega for all my cut vinyl designing. I use Corel for all of my large format printing and import into Flexi.
  5. should I buy a NEW edgeFX or a USED edge?

    As a owner of a Edge LE and owner of an inkjet printer, I'll tell you that I get a lot of use out of my Edge. I called tech support this past Monday about a issue I was having and they called me back same day with a solution. My Edge is 10 years old and the only things I have replaced include...
  6. Basic Gerber Question

    I regularly do 20' without any problems. My machine is over 10 years old and the one thing that I do for maintenance is keep those sprockets clean from adhesive build up. I do break large runs up also. If it's 2000 decals, I might even bust it into 500 pieces at a time just so I can get to...
  7. jv3 130 spII - how many keep the cover down while printing?

    ditto!!:rock-n-roll:
  8. Resolution and settings!!!!!!!!!

    I use the Arlon DPF and 3m IJ180 profiles together. Works pretty good for me in Flexi 7
  9. Basic Gerber Question

    I've run about 80 feet continuous before with no problems. 4 color process large print. I have made some horrible mistakes in the past and ruined 20-30 feet because of some other mistake, even recently because my head was putting to much pressure down. And it sucks when you lose material like...
  10. GQMgr: error: edgeII requires ECP parallel port...?

    I used to have this problems sometimes. I would actually have to open the sentinel driver software and reset it before I could get it working again. You are only going to find the ECP port status change in the bios. I've never seen a bios that did not have the option. From old to new, if the...
  11. Grapthec FC8000 Tech

    I just bought one last week. I haven't really got it into my production line yet because we are getting ready to move. I should be using it later this week. I looked at some of the tutorial videos online and installed the drivers/software. Looks like it's really going to work out for me so...
  12. Thinking of purchasing FC8000-160

    I've had a couple of other large plotters - older summa T1000 with basket and Mimaki CG130, but never had the cloth. I used it on a job Monday and it worked out pretty good. I like it. I called Graphtec and they are sending me the replacement lever. The pinch rollers seem to have worked...
  13. Edge refill foils

    I guess I'm the only one that prefers the Zero9 foils. I tried DC a long time ago and didn't like them. The colors seemed a little transparent and I didn't like the 4c turnout. I use a mixture of 09 and Gerber. The Gerber ones seem superior to me...and definitely pricier. I also never liked...
  14. Mimaki JV3-160S and Flexi for MAC

    Just try a direct connection with a parallel cable. I've heard it works great, maybe just a bit longer to process initial data push. Others have told me that the data still can't saturate a parallel cable. But I've heard it works without any problems. I run Flexi 7.6 from PC with firewire and...
  15. Bulk Ink For Mimaki

    I have a Triangle system from NuSign. It was already installed when I purchased my machine, but they have given me great support when I have called them.
  16. Trying to decide between Summa or Versacamm

    I have another story. I had a DC3 a while back, along with a Gerber Edge, Mimaki JV3, and HP5500. I got rid of the DC3 after about 8 months. We just didn't use it that much. The Gerber has more spot colors, and the Mimaki printed the big stuff. It did have it's place, but most things fit on...
  17. Graphix Advantage Help with Gerber GS-15

    You need to be sure and have the usb driver installed for the adpater. The USB adapter should have an ID and you need to identify it as a com port. I am using Omega and it works perfectly. I never tried it with Graphix Advantage. Also, check the Gerber site and see if there is a driver...
  18. help for clear cling

    great job people!!
  19. help for clear cling

    In the backing/finish option, select job area as "applies to" area. It will flood coat everything. There is also an option that says "Backing White Coat" that you can use.
