  1. GS15plus problem

    Tbh you might be experiencing interference.. As it's a VERY old machine theres virtually a 100% chance that the electrolytic caps in the psu and other circuits have now started to fail - it's very common in vintage equipment - so you'll now be getting ripple in internal power lines which does...
  2. Neither Graphtec Nor Zund See Marks Printed on Some Materials

    I'd keep it simple.. Stick some thin vinyl behind to increase the contrast
  3. Suggestions Turn on the humidifier, today!!!

    Wearing cotton instead of synthetics is also a good idea.. Lol
  4. Suggestions Turn on the humidifier, today!!!

    Easy solution.. Have a piece of metal connected to earth via a high value resistor - give it a touch before working on something - kills the static and doesn't give you or machines a zap. For machines that zap - just put a copper rod connected to earth in the same fashion to discharge...
  5. Need new software and driver to work with Graphtec CE2000-60

    Of course, you can usually use a newer cutter in the software.. Most of the time the commands sent are the same. Just find the next model that is supported - the worst it can do is not work
  6. Need new software and driver to work with Graphtec CE2000-60

    Most graphtec drivers should work as they usually create virtual serial ports. For them. Then any sign program will work - most cutters can default to hpgl, etc - or try more modern versions - just don't expect the fancy stuff to work.
  7. Mutoh 1324 Clogged Head

    Could be a few things. 1. Bad ink (too thick) 2. Ink Filter needs replacing 3. Cleaning fluid is reacting to ink, might be worth trying it on a dried sample of ink to see if it completely dissolves the ink or leaves bits (which would then clog the head)
  8. Question How to calculate at what dpi to print?

    True, but as I said it depends on how far away you're viewing it - something up close needs a higher resolution than something viewed over a distance. Plus of course it depends on the machine - older ones tend to be faster with lower resolution prints
  9. Need Help Police car graphics

    The other issue are fonts etc - the police will have a retained sign company to do such work - they'll have the complete vehicle map and vinyl specs - unless you've got that, theres not much point even thinking about it. Especially money wise.. They'd have specified expensive vinyl, the body...
  10. Question How to calculate at what dpi to print?

    Most of the time it corresponds to the distance something is going to be viewed from. But the biggest issue is file type - is it a raster file or vector? A vector will always come out at the highest resolution possible - you just need to decide how far away it's going to be viewed from...
  11. Will a Roland GS-24 work with Flexi 8.1?

    Most lightly a USB port issue.. Just go into device manager and delete the com: ports and usb: ports, then click refresh and all the working ports will come back - change the flexi port to the one left (you might have a few left, so just change it to one then so a test cut) - some older...
  12. How do you unlock the mutoh valuejet 1304 so it can work without chips

    Err.. The contact information is in the post.. 00 International dial code 44 country code 7743003005 mobile number
  13. polycarbonate stickers for instrument panels

    Do a search for membrane switches - usually reverse printed, but it's usually more specialised as they often want thermoforming as well.
  14. Windows 11

    Its going to be software as a service so you'll need a subscription plus you'll be bombarded with adverts. Linux is much better - if more people used Linux and pushed the software houses you'd have all the usual programs on there.
  15. holographic laminate?

    The way a hologram works means that any overlamination will reduce the holographic effect (its micro ridges so they get covered by the laminate) Theoretically a liquid lamination might be able to do it, but probably won't. Usually holograms are applied after lamination via hot pressing with a...
  16. Doming resin and Mutoh ink

    That's an easy one - the polyurethane is reacting to water - just make sure you're not laying down too much ink and everything is completely dry - could even be the substrate is slightly damp. If it still reacts - spray laquer should isolate it - just try on a small sample first
