  1. Material you can color on?

    Phototex. Problem is going to be most things have adhesive. So a table runner that'ts not mounted to the table might not work. I would think some of the tradeshow fabrics would work. Just not sure if some of them might bleed with a permanent marker.
  2. How to handle solvent Waste Ink

    EPA!!!!!!!!!!! I applaud his efforts to be kind to the planet. But the EPA? Wasted money, nonsense regulations. I can't even get a 5 gallon bucket of denatured alcohol in california anymore because of the EPA. Aggghhhhhhhh......
  3. Graphtec contour cut issues

    Not the best option but after struggling with resetting my machine for years when a cut would go bad we have switched to this method. ALL cuts come from cutting master, print/cut or just cut. The plotters are not connected to flexi anymore and it's been over a year since I had to reset one of...
  4. Graphtec contour cut issues

    Want to avoid this? Create all print/cut jobs inside of illustrator using cutting master. Export print files with registration marks and ONLY use flexi to print the file. Run the cut from cutting master to your graphtec. The only issues you will run into are with the language on your machine...
  5. Graphtec contour cut issues

    Can you do a full reset and retry? My guess is a memory issue on the graphtec controller itself.
  6. Serious newbie print problem

    Your best bet may be to outsource to someone close to you. That way you can keep customers happy while you try to get everything together. Keep the business going and start adding things back into the mix as you are able to learn them. There is no shortage of merchant members who can help...
  7. Yeti SmartBench

    If you need any sort of percision I would say no. Would love to see it cut 3" circles all the way through that plywood. What do the pieces on the side do just fall to the ground?
  8. MORE force needed with a brand new blade

    That seems thick to me. We move to where the blade is basically flush with the holder. If you rub your finger it will change the direction of the blade but it will not cut you. You can barely feel it. I'm thinking more 1 sheet of paper. 7 sheets of paper feels like a bump when you put them...
  9. cross contamination of M lines

    Possibly Dampner for the magenta line leaking slightly somewhere or just not holding and the magenta is sucking black up from the capping station as it drains? Just throwing it out there. Haven't seen this issue on our machine.
  10. MORE force needed with a brand new blade

    Sounds like a cutting strip issue to me. You even wrote that you are cutting hard enough to cut through the backing paper. Which means you are cutting into the strip at that point. Maybe your strip just needs to be switched. We run our blades all day everyday cutting all sorts of materials...
  11. Black Colors on Flatbed Turning Out Greenish

    I second the nozzle check. Make sure everything is actually firing correct. You can get pretty good prints with a head that really needs attention.
  12. How do you manage your color match

    FlexiSign - Find the Pantone Spot color - convert to CYMK - Go to View>Create Swatch>CMYK use this tool to create your 10% color shifts in each direction of CMYK. This hits our color everytime basically. You can go into advanced and change the percentage of the color shift in each...
  13. Discussion Does Anyone Realize This.............. ??

    We realized it the last 6 times you posted a thread about this. Why not just bump the thread from last time. Why do we need a whole new thread on the same topic? This has already been discussed.
  14. Need Help Latex 310 Error 16.41:10

    16.13.10 is heating element 3 but chris switched two numbers on your second code. A 16.14.10 is heating module 4. but your code is a 16.41.10 and that is a curing resistor 1.
  15. Discussion Good Friday afternoon finish.................................

    Amazing sometimes what being nice to someone will do. Went to Taco Bell today. Let a lady go in front of me for the drive thru. She paid for my meal. My best salesman is some of our local competition.
  16. Suggestions Decals, I want to know each and everything about it.

    Between the different types of engines and their various versions. 4,6,8, 10 cylinders. Flat 4, inline 4, rotary, inline 6, v6, full hybrid, electric assist hybrid. There is probably a million different types. All i was trying to say is there are a infinite number of uses for decals and each...
  17. cdl to pdf or other vector

    Following this. last time I looked into it we were just kinda screwed. Have to open the file in signlab. You can copy and paste from signlab to illustrator but you can't open a cdl with anything else.
  18. Suggestions Decals, I want to know each and everything about it.

    Start reading. Everyday for years people have talked about vinyl and decals on this site. Go through and read. Come back with a real question. It's like saying I'm going to repair cars now and going to a car forum and saying ok I want to learn everything about a motor. I know there are...
  19. manipulating contour cut

    All that it needs is for you to select the color. It doesn't show up the same because you can't edit it anymore. Once you break it apart it just becomes a vector object. Any vector object can be a contour cut line though. All you need to do is change the color to the cutcontour spot color...
