  1. I Am New At This!!

    Two different machines. One is all-inclusive printer/cutter, the other entails a separate printer and cutter. Use the search feature for Mutoh and for Roland and you will find many threads/opinions. Remember, they are just opinions and service/support from your seller is more important than the...
  2. new to the industry

    You won = You bought. The plotter you purchased is not a "commercial duty" machine. There are many required abilities for a machine to be considered "commercial". The US cutter is an entry level for hobbyists - nothing more. If you are pursuing a hobby, it will work. If you are planning on...
  3. Epson Pro 4800 question

    The easy answer is "No". This is not to say that it is impossible to make the process work - we have done it. It is not always possible either. The problem is that there are literally many variables that need to be taken into account. By the time you are finished with the process of attempting...
  4. Hello from NY

    Welcome!
  5. Today's lame question

    Can't say about Flexi, but SignLab does allow for contour cutting on a plotter that does not have OPUS. This is accomplished manually, by setting plotter over the three individual registration points and then telling SignLab where the registration "box" is.
  6. Problem in SignLab after cutting

    It sounds as if you have one of those dongle-free packages (aka: bootleg). That is a common and known problem (for years) to which there is absolutely no solution (if that is in fact what you have). It will allow you to work but there is no way you will ever get it to output any files to the...
  7. Head Height XC-540 On Reflective?

    I guess you have no choice if there is only one way to go.
  8. Head Height XC-540 On Reflective?

    The head needs to go up anytime there is the possibility of the head meeting the media. As for the buckling of 3M 680, turn down your heat. Reflective reacts quickly to heat until adhered to a substrate. We all know that reflective is material expensive but you need to to do whatever you can...
  9. Vehicle Template Questions

    Yup!! :Big Laugh :Big Laugh The nice thing about their package is that if your license is less than 12 months old they will make any custom templates that one may need, free of charge.
  10. Vehicle Template Questions

    Fred, We have used the DAL for years. The biggest drawback is that it is mostly geared towards commercially used vehicles, but that is a minimal issue. The only other trivial thing is that the templates are mostly listed identified by make and not model. What we like about them is a very...
  11. Possible Stupid Cutting Question?

    No different than any other mechanical device. The only thing that will happen is that you will wear the consumables faster. PREVENTATIVE maintenance will alleviate any headaches and heartaches. In other words if the machine needs something and you take care of it it should give many, many...
  12. Terminology index? Dictionary?

    An encyclopedia is not really required. Post your list of "terms" or "laymen definitions" and we are sure that people here will respond with the proper terms and/or definitions. I am sure that Fred could make a "sticky" out of later.
  13. Epson Stylus 7800 Pro printer

    That is actually a very good price for aqueous cast media.
  14. PDF file help

    If you are asking if you could take PDF with a rasterized image and turn that into a vector image - no.
  15. 50" plotter need some help guys this looks too good to be true to me

    Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Same Chinese plotters sold on EBay. Okay for hobbyist and no better than a hair dryer. No way for professional work. Did you notice that there is No phone number - No address on their website? Only a reference to Las Vegas. That is probably because they do not want you to...
  16. CM24 button pad

    Call Accugraphics 407-880-5774. First inform them that you need to order parts for a Roland plotter then ask to speak to Heather or Gary.
  17. cnc router for kitchen cabinets?

    The cabinet makers started using CNC routers long before the sign people.
  18. Valuejet

    Ask yourself this - Do you like when customers try and do that you? One thing we have learned is not to state anything that we cannot back up - and we don't. Credibility goes a long way in business. What we do differently is go to the originating source of the better quote - providing we are...
  19. pc800 ram

    Strip the RAMBUS out of the machine, toss the rest in the trash, sell the memory to offset the cost of your new one. :smile:
  20. Squeezing Blood From A Mutoh.

    The solution is simple - do not make promises or get in over your head. Do what you can or what is not color critical. You will gradually start to pick everything up - but it is very gradual. No matter how hands on you are (or hate reading), color management is something that needs to sink in...
