  2. yellow not printing correctly

    I worked all weekend and last night before I left I did a 40 minute nozzle wash. This morning I do a test print and my yellow is about 50% out. I also have a low yellow ink cartridge. This is the second time in about a months period wherby after doing a nozzle wash the heads seemed a bit...
  3. cutter still not closing cuts 100%

    for me I know it is not the belt. I am pretty sure this problem started the moment I switched to this new non oem blade. will find out if Advantage's package ever arrives. It is not so bad on 2 inches and larger but on anything smaller it really is hard to weed and does not look all that...
  4. The whole photo album on a banner!!

    sometimes you just have to suss out the customer and see what they are willing or capable of affording. In most cases, a banner for a family party will not be scrutinized by those attending and generally the people buying them will accept a straight scan to print with NO cleanup. A...
  5. ONYX and Graphtec BOTH CRAP!!!!!

    with my Summa cutter and Flexi, I find at times the opus reader just cant read some registration marks. If something is freshly laminated...forget it... Cant see anything because of silvering. I also have cut little 3mm squares out of black vinyl and put them over the marks when the reader...
  6. just a little ticked off this morning

    I have the newer version with the white liner and cradle. It works great. The only problem was the backing paper of the lam needed to be pulled with one hand forward while holding the squeegee with the other. Then the rolled uplam jumped forward out of the cradle over my hand pulling the...
  7. cutter still not closing cuts 100%

    bob I have the blue holder buthave never monkeyed around with the cutter since buying it 5 or 6 years ago. Outside of weight and speed thats it. I have lubricated the holder and I am almost positive at this point that it may be these 3rd party blades. The trouble seemed to start back when I...
  8. cutter still not closing cuts 100%

    I have a new teflon strip and it is nice and smooth. This morning I put a new blade in and it is cutting better but I can still see that it is having trouble closing small shapes. I wonder if I inadvertantly I changed a setting on the display of the plotter. This is what it is set for on...
  9. 24x36 prints mounted on foam board

    no these are a re occuring order but usually come in ones or two's, so you never know when it will dry up on you and be stuck with useless blanks. I have this other material I ordered and although it is sort of like foamcore it is much stronger. The name escapes me but I will try cutting it this...
  10. 24x36 prints mounted on foam board

    if you were to put a digital print of a credit card 24 x 36 on foam core or some of that heavier board available which is similar to foamcore, how hard would it be to round the corners with a jigsaw? I am curious if the saw will give a clean cut or will the fibers basically ruin the edges and...
  11. i am definately losing it.

    it is weird that even the eps file that I exported out of Signlab is no where to be found, mind you I have no idea what I called it either... Was just a quick knock off job. Rescan and digitize will take 10 minutes. I was more curious about getting that file out of production manager. I...

  14. Should I app tape a printed graphic for installing or not?

    centre hinge might be the safest with a soft squeegee
  15. i am definately losing it.

    I had a guy in who needed this little decal to put on a maserati control panel for the airconditioning info. The piece he found at the wreckers did not have air conditioning so He had the old piece and I said sure... easy job. Scan it and redraw basically a square with a cut out circle in the...
  16. Should I app tape a printed graphic for installing or not?

    I would probably do it no different than putting it on a substrate laying flat. Big Squeegee!!!
