  1. lightly used 2 year old Graphtech 8600 inconsistent

    I only know the basics. I'd check the tool holder - make sure there is no vinyl stuck to the bottom or up in the hole the blade sticks out of. Check to see that the blade swivels smoothly - small drop of light machine oil in the hole. Check to make sure the holder is not worn out (not likely...

  3. All I've been doing.... (A sign designers late night rant)

    Take heart Rick, you could be making trademark logos for Asian importers. I was searching for the dimensions of a standard basketball backboard I could make for my son and passed over this a few times before slowing down to read it.... wayne k guam usa
  4. Milk Jug Motivation

    I was thinking of a whole other kind of "Milk Jug Motivation" but losing weight is good too..... :thumb: wayne k guam usa one day I will grow up but that day is not today
  5. A lesson in logo design...

    Looks very nice. With an undefined baseline, if I read it upside down (easy to do on a bottle cap) it looks like the digestive tract of a middle aged fat guy or a headless dragon about to take off (my 9yr old self)........ wayne k guam usa
  6. ?'s on installation of several 12' x 4' panels of WallDeco 6730 on painted drywall

    Doug you might also want to consider one of the soft brayer rollers (for speedball, I think). I've had good results with unlaminated vinyl that I did not want to scratch or scuff up using a squeegee. Seems like it did not cause the vinyl to stretch as much either. wayne k guam usa

  11. ONE 4 THE PROS - Contour Cutting / Corel Draw to cutting in Flexi sign

    I am not too sharp today but if someone sent me that file and I wanted to quickly set up a contour cut I would: Drop a new layer on top, copy and paste everything onto the new layer Turn off the original layer. Select and delete all the logos & fills until I was left with just the green(?)...
  12. Need some guidance on how to break down 180 yard 3m adhesive rolls

    This. I made a simple wooden one to run 85lb banner rolls through my 1304 that came with 44lb max plastic media holders.
  13. 440 cartridges in Mutoh 1324?

    I've done it before. Not sure the weight would be an issue but I did think the longer carts hanging out that far might be tilted down or cause damage to the chip reader prongs. What I did was take an old camera tripod and put a short piece of "L" angle on it wide enough to run under all 4...
  14. Tips for applying 48" wide application tape

    If you put a little tension on the rollers for the mask you should be able to pull out 5 feet, tag the far end down and squeegee back to the start with the dispenser holding the mask off the vinyl. If you have trouble keeping the pulled out end straight with the ends wanting to fold down onto...

  16. Rip & Cut (ARMS) software needed, I was duped.

    From the USCutter page it looks like your plotter is bundled with the RazorCut app. It shows that it can set up contour cuts and registration marks the ARMs sensor can read. If you did get the app maybe it can be used for cutting the prints out of Flexi. I use the bundled Cutting Master...
  17. New Cleveland Browns logo

    Hah, Apparently Orange is the new Orange This reminds me of when I am way behind and a customer is asking for a layout for the 2nd (or 3rd) time. I quickly throw some stuff together and stress that it is just a draft to start off with & what do they want me to add or change. They reply back...
  18. L25500 - bleeding all over the floor... anyone seen this before?

    Doug I've changed my mind, don't trade that HP in. Take it on a copper tour over to the big island and when you get on top of the active volcano throw it out the door. Either that or call a priest to see if he can lift the curse. You have way more patience that I do. In the 5 years I've...

  20. Need help with converting files or setting up files before i send to cutter

    What he said. With a Graphtec there are 3 options to control what the cut order is. One is an option that is enabled on the plotter keypad. It will sort the paths and minimize the movement in the feed direction. It will cut all the paths closest to the carriage in a left and right...
