I know this thread is old, however I just wanted to check on what Lauren decided after trying the BriteLine from Grimco. Also, they sent me a flyer TODAY, (Friday Special) and they offer some printable vinyl's, anyone use these?

Nice little story, it actually made me feel good when I read it.... Cheers :bushmill:

I don't use Flexi, I use Illustrator to create the graphics with Roland spot colors (as many different layers as needed), then ONLY the TOP layer contains the ContourCut file (outline and any holes needed to be cut), the ContourCut file has to be the TOP layer and needs to be a certain color to...

Nice video Pat! :U Rock:

Ok, back to the OP question: The trick to using any AUTO TRACE program to convert a jpg to a clean vector image is to first clean up the jpg in Photoshop (or your photo editing software). Increase the contrast as best you can (whiter whites and blacker blacks), then I use Photoshop with the...

I think the BEST material lift is the Pantoon DIGI CI Easy transporter, but $4k (made in Switzerland) is out of the ballpark, so the Vestil Portable Hand Winch Lifter from Northern Tool at $439 is the best value. It will lift 330lbs and has a raised height of 43-1/2" (plenty for my printer). I...

Yea because they are NOT brick and mortar, however every John or Jane Doe that has $500 along with the help from Signwarehouse is starting to make signs in their spare bedroom and low balling prices which is killing the industry.

FYI: I worked at Dell computers corporate offices in Round Rock Texas as a sr. graphic designer and whenever a new version of Windows came out we would NEVER install it on our Dell production work stations because of exactly what the OP posted. I found it ironic that we were selling the NEW...

I need to make a break-a-way banner for a little league football team, can you give me some more DETAILS. Overall size? You say you use 1" Velcro strips 4-5" long, how far apart do you space them? Do you sew the Velcro strips onto the banner? Do you use pole pockets in the ends? Do you...

Yes I first said FC-7000, but I also have a CE-3000, so it was a typo, however I'm still tying to find out how to set the over cut? Doing a search I found this post: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?46058-Graphtec-not-completing-cuts There is reference to enable the overcut...

I'll chime in and like the others have said, Termite infestation or damage is NOT you fault. As soon as you opened it up and saw the little critters take photos (proof), and even if you didn't, Termites leave distinctive damage in wood, you can see channels that look much different than water...

Thanks for the info I have NEVER done 2 pass cut, where is that setting in CM2? I was under the impression that CM# would NOT work with the FC-3000 series cutters? :thankyou:

Have you seen the one on ebay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRAPHTEC-FC7000MK2-160-CUTTING-PLOTTER-/231661741854?hash=item35f01da71e Maybe time to go bigger and then use your old one for parts...

Ok folks I just started doing some rhinestone T-shirt designs and you need to cut the small circles in some template material. I'm using Illustrator for the artwork and Cutting Master2 to send files to the Graphtec FC-7000, however the small .127" circles are not completely cutting the circle I...

I have the same plotter and still working ok, however I wanted to let you know that I did see someone on here a few months ago trying to give a non-working FC-7000 away, I believe they said for the price of shipping, there were several interested so you might do a search on the subject. I...

:goodpost: Thanks for the tut, good explanation and photos, lots of times people on here try and explain a process without any photos, and it's hard to understand, (in their mind they know what they are talking about, but we don't), photos always help. Question, is that ONE long cutting mat...

No it's not, I just use GOOGLE (for anything), and it was just one of the hits. I also use BOTW, however very often the vectors on BOTW are NOT accurate, and the "CHEVROLET" which was referred to in a post above is NOT the right one. Most of the time I just use a tape measure or ruler (which I...
