    I have a lot of Swiss fonts but I dont have the hv on the TTF font description. I have searched for it through google but have seen different versions of the same helvetica font. I just need verification of just which swiss font this is, I see it as a condensed version but also as an...
  2. I think I was visited by a crook!!!!

    so anyways I call the fuzz and tell them what occured and to see if anyone has reported any thefts, but nothing. Maybe he was casing the place but based on where he wandered there was nothing for him to steal.....heck if you can walk out with a 500lb printer be my guest. We have an alarm so...
  3. I think I was visited by a crook!!!!

    I am solo on Friday afternoons, and today it is so humid out even with the air on full I cant seemto get 48" vinyl to plot and sit correctly in the Graphtec. So I was upstairs trying to get the vinyl to relax and stop crimping and I hear the door buzzer go off. I figured who ever it is didn't...

  7. Aaaaaaaaaaargh PopUP material

    I use that pet15oz material for our retractables and have not laminated one of them. None have come back, although when retractables do come back, it's not because they were scratched or scuffed, it was because some doofus pulled the banner right off the roller!!!! and of course I charge em...

  10. Vinyl feeding into the Edge

    quite possibly your punched holes are out of whack ( i have seen that before) or the vinyl is old and has shrunk...or you need to clean your sprocket on the machine.

  18. Mounting calendered vinyl

    I can only say that the BS allowed me to do 18" x 24" prints incredibly easily. I ran 54 prints last week in about 2 hours, and that included interuptions from the phone and walk ins, not to mention the unbearable high temperature in the shop. The BS seems to take the stretching issues away...
  19. Changing presure while cutting?????

    I have no idea if it is an operating error or even a computer problem. I would think it is the plotter itself. Try running the job real slow and see if it makes a difference, and maybe check the blade for wear or possibly it could use a little white grease in the bearings.
