  1. Onyx 12.2 Quickset question

    Hopefully someone with more knowledge of Onyx can help me out with this one. We just bought a Summa F1612 flatbed cutter, and one of the features it has is the ability to cut out files without needing cutlines, to do this you need to add a 5mm thick black border around your file, the cutter...
  2. Carving in go produce

    We just got a new F1612 with the router attachment. I was wondering if it's possible to V carve text with go produce? I don't think it has any 3d abilities. I'm new to this machine and it's it's been about 12 years since I've worked with a CNC router. Cheers!
  3. F1612 cutting issue

    We are having our 1612 cutter installed this week and it's giving us an issue that has the tech stumped, mind you he is a bit green at this. When kiss cutting printed vinyl graphics, the "home" side of the machine cuts dead on accurate, but the "away" side is off by up to 1/2" in the gantry...

  5. Chromatic Banding

    We have had our S80600 for just over 2 years now, but in the last 6 months I've noticed I get fairly noticeable chromatic banding in certain colours, I just printed a job where I printed 2 full 54"x150' rolls of vinyl to a solid vivid blue colour, and there appeared to be what I call lawnmower...

  8. Graphtec & Onyx issue

    We have a FC-8600 cutter that is about 2 years old. I'm having an issue when i cut graphics from onyx using cut server. If I set the cutter to read "multiple marks" in onyx, it will either search for them and not find them, or it will roll the print on the floor because it rolls it out too far...
  9. Sheet Cut

    Out of curiosity, on a graphtec FC8600, when you use the sheet cut option on the front of the machine, is it supposed to cut the sheet with the plotter blade? I just noticed mine does and it can't be good for the blade or cutting strip, i was under the impression this machine had a dedicated...
  10. Lead times

  11. Saving onyx files

    I've been using onyx thrive for about 2 years no, and I have a noob question Back when I ran versaworks, you had the option of saving your ripped files as .rvw files, which saved all your profile info, tiling specs etc. So if you needed to reprint a panel 2 years later you could easily do that...

  15. track saw in a sign shop?

    I was wondering if anyone uses a plunge cut track saw in their shop for cutting up sheet goods? We have a table saw and it's great for some things, but handling 4x8 sheets easily is not one of them. We used to have a keen cut stand up cutter but I found it lacking as it can't cut things like...
