My advice would be to leverage your sign-making talent. Lizard and snake skin backgrounds, flames and other trendy effects, IMO, are way (WAY) over used. A wrap, especially in this economy, needs to make phones ring, and not just excite the owner of the vehicle. As a sign-maker, you know how...

Cool! I was with Summa when you bought it. So thank you. It might be the blade-offset, which changes slightly as the blade wears. Graphtec has a better enhanced overcut routine, but Summa is a very close second, IMO. I wonder if any Graphtec users are having this issue. Anyone?

You might be stuck. I don't think replacement parts are covered under warranty; or if they are, it's really short (90 days or so in case of a defect, which shows up quickly as a rule). I think. But maybe you'll do better, fingers crossed.

The basics: A guys buys $82 grand in stuff and probably thinks the hidden thing should have been in the price. You know about the clause and want your $12 hundred. $82 grand is a pretty good customer. Maybe you say," OK, [guy] reasonable people can disagree. Whadaya say we split it...

"If someone starts off the customer relationship with you lying, do you still try and get the deal done or do you walk away? I walked away because I thought it was the right decision for us." Yeah; I agree. Maybe there's some blood in that turnip, but it'll be a tough, frustrating and...

Or ... maybe the cutting-head is wearing and not maintaining consistent cut-force.

Hi Gabagoo, It sounds like your cutter is the problem; maybe a slight warp in the platten. A bit of excessive mishandling in shipping can cause that or it it's be dropped, etc. A fresh blade and getting the depth/pressure right is training wheels stuff. It shouldn't be that hard, and...

Good info, CES020. I don't think you're being paranoid at all ... a temp holiday business might be right. Can you check with the owner of the building to see if the 1-year lease is legit? Even still, they might walk on the lease if they're shadey players. Just a thought

Ahhhhhh! Inspire! Yep; my over-50 "memory" at work again. :^)

Hi Jim, Wow; I'd almost forgotten about ScanVec Aspire ... poorly named but it was a really great product. ScanVec introduced it as the replacement to CASmate, and in many ways it was superior to Amiable Software's FlexiSIGN. But it was new and no doubt had some kinks that needed working...

Decent and new is in the $9 K range, minimum. (SignWarehouse PrismJet VJ48) But 6K has good leverage in the used market. Meanwhile, I think you're spot-on in regard to OPOS X being the best contour-cutting registration.

I think MR Clipart has some: www.mr-clipart.com

If you already own it, it'll have to be good enough :^) Kidding. But sure, it's great for cut-vinyl too. But I think if I were doing a lot of cutting, I'd get a dedicated cutter to save wear-and-tear on the printer. Plus, if you get a Summa or Graphtec cuttter you'll also have a superior...

Yeah; seems like a lot of delayed satisfaction. Maybe you can get them on the phone to walk you through setup ... albeit it might be a manpower issue. In the current economy, a lot of non-revenue generating staff have been cut to the bare minimum and then some. Good luck, and congrats! The...

Are you using a 60° blade?

I think you need to go through a router, such as your cable or DSL modem/wireless router. You can't connect directly. It needs to go through a hub, I think. You should probably check with Mutoh.

Hi Jiro, They're both media flange tracks, but the left one (facing the cutter from the back) is typically stationary since that's most-commonly the zero point (where plots begin). Using the tracks improves tracking on really long stuff. For shorter plots I just push them out of the way and...

In my opinion, Summma support is better. They're a direct dealer, for the most part. When the folks who make the machine also support it, they have a knowledge advantage. Graphtec is a better-selling product inasmuch as they have a huge dealer network. But the support burden is passed...
