does anyone know of a software designed to make seamless patterns out of a piece of your original art? something above Adobe pattern fills, but not as costly as SymmetryShop or SymmetryWorks plug-ins? thanks!

That great customer service, and a good way to treat your customers overall!

by chance will you be printing on any holographic vinyl or any metalized film?

you weren't seeing things; there are several manufacturers that make print/cut devices...Mimaki, Roland, Mutoh, Summa.... The decals you purchased for $1 a piece sound like thermal resin prints

has anyone out there had access to the new Arctic White Foil from GSP? I'm still running 2.5 and was wondering if I would be able to assign this from 2.5's pallet with a substitution that has a similar firing table, or would I need to upgrade to take advantage of this new foil. Thanks!

One simple one I use has all the attributes Wasatch requires for designating a cutpath; spot color (with appropriately named swatch,) stroke weight and mitre limit. On the extreme end with photoshop, you can do a similar things by recording an action that can be run to apply effects...then...

you may want to add radiant heat and a fan to circulate the air around your print to help the out-gassing to prevent shrinkage and curling; especially if your material is a calendared product as opposed to a cast product. I would assume that adding the dryer unit later wouldn't take any more...

I have used a low-cost coated paper product made by Sihl that accepts solvent inks well. The product is called "TriSolve Premium Paper."

aqueous or latex inks are best for paper. If the paper is free and you only have solvent, it can still be done. Design the layouts with the consequences mentioned above in mind; don't include small elements or fine print in the design. When it comes to choosing a profile, use one that is low...

adding heat and moving the air away from your print with a fan will help your print to out-gas more quickly. this may be important to you if you are cutting a print that has a bleed, or it may not be that important if you are using a white (no ink) border for your cut. the print/cut units do not...

Hi, has anyone used the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 Printer yet? I'm looking to print white ink on metallic substrates, and I'm curious about what it takes to get good opacity with this machine as far as print time and ink costs. Thanks!

do you have Roland's "OnSupport" installed? you could get one of their techs to remote on and help you out. Those guys are very helpful with questions like that.

what I mean is...is there any way that I could damage the machine just by pluggin it in and trying the test-draw?

Artbot, do you think that I should do a test draw or immediately start soakin'?

i'll put dampers on the list. Thanks!

Hello, I'm about to start using an old JV3 that I've had in storage for many years, and would like to know if anyone has advice. the machine was flushed with solvent before going into storage. I am planning on replacing the capping station, cleaning the encoder strip, replacing both pumps... Is...

that works! thanks for the help!

we are experiencing a slight misalignment when plotting; origins and endpoints are not matching when cutting circles for instance. Is there a calibration I can run to correct this on Summa S140 and S75 plotters?

So...what kind of printer are you using?:flamey:

sometimes if your equipment wont sort your data, you can sort it when you design it. Some of ours don't sort, so we take that into account when making the cut paths; we draw in the order we want to cut. Sometimes text cuts in a strange order like you described. If there isn't a whole bunch of...
