  1. Cutting magnet on Graphtec FC 8600, anyone try it?

    for 150' worth... You may be better buying a guillotine. https://www.amazon.com/X-ACTO-Heavy-Guillotine-Trimmer-Inches/dp/B0006HVQHS/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1518845642&sr=8-32&keywords=guillotine&th=1 One like that. Cut them into bigger manageable sheets of say 12" x 12", setup a jig that...
  2. Found this plastic gear under my printer?

    It kind of feels that way around here a lot lately. I don't mind debating stuff, or trying to get someone to understand my point of view... But sometimes it really feels like a lot of posts are just to try and rile people up, which is why I gave up on the argument. I 100% Don't believe bob...
  3. My Very First 3D Sign w/ the Shaper Origin

    Anything labeled as removable will work. I buy $100 (70-80usd) rolls of 54" x 150 ft rolls, use them for cheap wall decorations for my kid... Comes off with no residue after even a month. So long as you buy removable, you'll be ok. So that's 54 rolls for $100... Under $2 Canadian a roll...
  4. My Very First 3D Sign w/ the Shaper Origin

    Have you tried printing your own tape? I'm not sure how cheap / expensive it is... But I'm sure shipping it to Canada and ordering it wouldnt be very cost effective. However printing 10-20ft on a cheap roll of vinyl, then cutting it out on.the graphtec would be very cost effective. Not sure...
  5. My Very First 3D Sign w/ the Shaper Origin

    How do you guys like your shaper? I heard other than being slow, and the consumable tape for registration, it actually works pretty good and accurately. I was thinking of building my own CNC For home for fun.. but the shaper might be good enough for my needs!
  6. IJ35C-10 Faulty rolls of vinyl

    Just checked mine, but it's a different lot number so I can't help, sorry! Have you called your 3M Rep? We had an issue with a roll doing something similar halfway through... They credited us for a full roll.
  7. Need Help Onyx CutContour

    Right side there is scale - You can change it to magnification, make sure it's at 100% and not higher also.
  8. Need Help Onyx CutContour

    Spot color replacement doesnt make a difference. Now that you get the cut into onyx... I'm not sure why it's cutting wrong. I just E-mailed you a file. It's just a 1" x 1" square, on a 2" artboard as .svg. Open up Onyx cut server, click open, and load that file - Then send it to cut. It...
  9. Found this plastic gear under my printer?

    So my "if" is a problem, but yours isn't? Unless he l ows what the part is for, how does he know "if" the printer is working? It may turn on, it may print, but it may also be causing thousands of dollars in damages. A guy finds a piece of his printer on the floor, a 100% sign something fell off...
  10. Found this plastic gear under my printer?

    I'm sure an expert could explain it to me. But by your logic I shouldn't even ask the question. It either works with the part, or it'll eventually break and I can fix it later... What if that gear is for one of the wiper blades, and it's not rotating? There's a couple grand repair from the...
  11. Media advice for Latex 335

    Head strikes shouldn't be much of an issue. Some media you need to advance out of the machine before printing to prevent initial media jam, the downside to the latex machines is media tends to warm up and hit the heater on the way out, causing a head strike / jam. If the media warps in heat...
  12. Found this plastic gear under my printer?

    I saw a small patch of oil under my car. I figured my car still runs, so obviously some asshole parked in my spot, or Ive been scammed all my life and my car doesn't need oil. I smiled about all the money I would save on oil changes and went along my days doing my business. A few weeks later...
  13. Media advice for Latex 335

    3m 3290 reflective is a no go. Pretty much if it says it's for digital printing it should work... If you want to be really safe, only use media you can download profiles for.
  14. Need Help Onyx CutContour

    Email a sample file to lucidify@gmail.com and I'll take a look. I have a feeling it's a problem with your spot color not being named correctly, or setup correctly . It should be its own swatch, spot color selected, named "cutcontour" doesn't have to be on its own layer or anything.
  15. Onyx setup for Screen printing film

    So We're looking at getting a new printer for our screen printing film, since ours is on its way out. Our Current is an Epison 9800. Our old printer is using an old Wasach thats at its end of life and doesn't support the new printer...so We're trying to add the film printer to our Onyx. I'm...
  16. Question HP Scitex FB500 UV lamp intensity adjustment....

    Click Printing, Options, scroll to the next page and click on increase UV power. We were also once in a bind like this - You can send a completely blank document to the printer, make sure itll print white space instead of skip past it... and run any media through a second time. Then it wont...
  17. Suggestions Possible Scam or am I losing it?

    Tell him for this big of an amount, you only accept credit cards in person. Then ask for photo ID, and photocopy both. If they have a problem with that, odds are it's a scammer. You can easily fake a credit card to match a name, or get a fake ID... you can't fake a picture though. Check the...
  18. Needed: Etched Glass Decal

    It takes 5 minutes to load and cut. If you have your own premask I'm sure even the busiest shops will do it if you offer to weed and premask yourself. We tend to help out other shops... Not sure on how it is in your city, but usually if a shop was in a bind we move stuff around / delay some...
  19. Needed: Etched Glass Decal

    I'd help you if you were in Canada... unfortunately shipping to USA would be close to $100 alone. $310 for 18 sqft just for material? sounds like that guy got ripped off. Most sign shops with a plotter carry some frosted/etched glass, I'd call around.. probably a better price than getting it...
  20. HP 570 new user problems
