Have you had any luck yet? I have had to drench a swab with cleaning solution and then dab the heads but they say that you should never do that. I wonder if you could mist them every few minutes for a while and then run a med cleaning. I am new to this but have had to do this twice in the...

Have you run a cleaning cycle? Do you have plenty of ink?

Ford, some places where I am joining these points is not at the ends of paths so there is not always two handles to grab where they intersect.

Chris, I just tried what you suggested and it worked like a champ. Thank you very much. I have only tried to work with the little sample that I mentioned but I will work with it some more later. I read an illustrator book over the weekend but it still didn't explain the pathfinder very well...

rfulford, I tried to do that and it wouldn't let me. To test it I Made a box out of a 8point stroke with no fill with the rectangle tool. I then drew a 8point line segment from the left to right side of the box. Selected both paths and tried to join them.

How do you weld? Fred, I have not had any problem cutting objects my putting a stroke of my cut color around the object. When I do it the way that you say object, path, outline stroke I get all the problems I talked about in my original text, all the intersecting lines get cut too. I tried...

I am using illy to make my die cut and my regular vinyl cut lines. I am having nothing but problems. Today my issue is: I am making a graph for a white board with cut black vinyl. I have a rectangle with many lines intersecting to form boxes like a spread sheet. Offset path and pathfinder...

Thank you for the info. I do know how to replace the blade, what I don't know is how to adjust that whole assembly when it gets knocked out of adjustment.

my XC came with a take up reel and I'm glad that it did because I probably would have been too cheap to pop for the extra couple grand.

Bump. Anyone else have an answer on the adjustment or info on a service manual?

I think the blade assembly got knocked out of adjustment. I will put in a new blade but want to know how to adjust the assembly. Great, fixed it in 5 minutes, what did he do?

I have had two occasions now where the carriage has started to move and hit one of my media clamps. I don't know why, maybe I didn't have them on straight. Once this happens my sheet cut feature will not work. It hasn't damaged the cutter but I need to replace the blade and readjust the...

I just purchased one and had an awful time with putting down 210 lam. I youtubed it and saw that there is a trick to putting down that particular lam. Looking forward to trying it again.

I feel like I might finally be in the sign business. I am bidding 24 4' x 8' polymetal printed panels. We just got started so I have not done more than a few. Not much of a thread, just feels nice to be getting a little busier.

It has a bunch of church stuff on it. I would change it to something happier, like a happy hour banner. lol

Morning bump, still looking for other solutions. Thanks.

Thank you for the info Fred. CMAX, I think that this logo came as a raster based image and I traced and converted it. I can't find a pixel out there but let's say that there is one. Isn't there a way that I can mechanically reduce the size of the box to crop out the unwanted part without...

I am a new owner of a xc-540 and I can tell you that the learning curve is steep. The software alone can cost you more than a professional wrap. Who is going to laminate your prints... Your printer might be one of the most inexpensive propositions. I had a background in printing and graphics...

I am having problems when I bring certain files in my rip and they won't fit in the assigned area and it wants to split my sign into two prints. Usually I am finding that I have some little thing sitting off of the active art board. This time I am finding that the bounding box on one of my...

I scrubbed the actual nozzle surface with a swab and cleaner several times, put cleaner on the cap and ran many medium cleans and I am good to go. I am ordering a new cap for thursday though because I think it will just happen again. Thank you guys.
