When a line is rasterized and then traced, we have found that Onyx can sometimes detect the line as a zero area box - imagine a hairline with the fil turned off and the outline turned on. This results in the software sending double cuts (to the software they are adjacent cuts, but in the real...

the blade angle is dependent on the thickness of the layer you are plotting through - for the very small area where the blade is actually cutting the vinyl, you want the best slicing blade possible (closer to parallel to the media). Thinner media gets the "flatter" blade, (60 degs are labeled...

So did you "pop off"? we are all very curious as to what you will share after popping.... really hoping to see if anyone understand how you attack.

you mean something like this?

good thinking - to carry one point a little further, if he is pulling the whole image through the plotter to read the 4 corner marks initially, then I believe he is making a the 'measuring pull' under different parameters that the "plotting pull" --- or rather when the plotter is form-feeding...

I believe a skein is an undefined length loosely coiled for ease of use.... I don't remember G-ma talking length other than they used to be sold by weight and modern commercial skeins tend to be the same size.... Hank? 1 litre of Henry Weinhard's finest.... as in "long day! Pass me a cold Hank!"

the value of 100 pennies is in a single dollar.....

okay, here is another one: Using standard accepted measuring practices, what is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?

it should be the same for all - ream is a numerical value based on quires - hint: the value is actually a range.

does anyone know how many sheets of copier paper are in a ream? How about cardstock? (heck, how many elephants are there in a ream?)

Acceleration: first, speed is distance traveled per time, you media and your plotter head both have speed likely in mm/s. Acceleration is speed traveled per time, if it is displayed, mm/s/s. If you do not want any acceleration in either your plotter head or media, then you cannot plot - no...

yep, these changes are exactly why semantic discussions and dictionaries are important - and I did not ever think you purposefully mislead anyone. Actually I thought the exact opposite as you brought it up to the group about if you were using the correct terminology.... And if we in our...

This semantic discussion that dictionaries are needed is good - definitions can change and we should be on the same page if we want to have good communication. When Monticello was built around 1800 it was described a being "awful and artificial" - not a great compliment for your home today...

Bob, how do you define "Fallacious"? every common use I find shows it conveys an intent, not just misleading... this is a prime example of why dictionaries are important. "purposefully misleading" is an accurate common use definition of "Fallacious" Also, I never said Liquid Laminate was a bad...

Are you using segmented area correction? you can set the segments pretty small to correct for slippage more frequently.... Without seeing you setting, try plotting a little slower with a little less down-force (just make the tests to make sure you have enough down force to cut - and a sharp...

I have owned Epsons, HPs and Canons for wide format - every machine had a feature to manage the length on the roll.. usually you tell it the length of the new roll and it keeps track. If you need to change media some printers print a barcode on the roll so it knows how much is left when it...

Sorry Gino, I was referring to the statement that the use of a dictionary for definitions is fallacious, or purposefully misleading. You may have mislead a customer by saying you were laminating something that you were actually varnishing (even with a urethane resin instead of a natural...

likewise anyone who takes a trade specific term and expects the lay-person to know they are referring to something different than the common usage/dictionary definition is a poor communicator. Dictionaries are there to help keep the common usage consistent so we don't do things like tell a...

See Google's definitions for laminate both the noun and verb - laminating something involves putting materials together. This is different from spray coating with a varnish like "Spray Laminate".... In the Offset world we have laminating and we have coating - you can flood coat with various...

.... Flat bed may be the best, but... We have an HP700w and a Graphtec 9000 - I cut 30'+ banners quite often. Since you have multiple 24" banners, print them side by side on 54" with about half an inch between, use segmented area cutting, set the media VERY straight, form-feed it through your...
