I'm not sure if you've tried the filter over the OPOS sensor, but it's worth a shot. I've had decent success cutting Briteline holographic vinyl and some other metallic material. I've found that making the print setup with the least amount of reg marks for it to read, Summa will put one about...

I'm not sure why either, all I know is that rollers are crowned so the middle is slightly tighter than the outer edges and when I cut those bad sheets the center was way off near the tail end but the other edges were not really affected as much as the center. This is why I point to the laminator...

I printed another sheet, but this time I ran it through the laminator slightly different. I pulled the laminate through the back and tacked it to the take-up roll, then placed my sheet into the nip and closed the rollers and fed the sheet through. Put it on the cutter and haven't changed any...

No it stays flat. I've never had this bad of an issue cutting, that's why I think it's more of a lamination issue. However only reason I think it's a lamaintion issue is how I do sheet. I will roll my laminate over the top roll about 3/4ths of the way down the roll, tack a piece of backing onto...

Same....I just laminated a roll, same materials and same roll of laminate and no issues at all in cutting. It's very odd and yes I'm not quite sure why it is so pronounced either....I was getting better results off my crooked RS laminator. lol I've got no tension on the laminate roll and...

Thing is is that it less towards the outer edges of the sheet. It's much worse in the middle of the sheet. I'm not sure sure it's the cutter but my lamination incompetence, if I did these on rolls they'd have almost no variation.

Onyx to print and cut, summa barcode for loading sheets. It's the same as I've been using for the last year or so. I can only think it comes down to the lamination process and not so much the cutter.

Summa D140 and I've got a GFP 363TH laminator

So I've noticed when I laminate single sheets I get a horrible shift in cutting. I'm only assuming this is due to how I'm laminating them, if I did this on a roll it wouldn't be an issue. I'm just not sure where I'm going wrong with setting the sheets up to run through the laminator. The only...

That seems like what I'm doing now, but say if I have a bunch of stuff that will fit on a a 4' x 2' sheet and the next piece is larger and won't fit on that. I'm trying to see if there is a more automated way to have it break apart jobs into sheets of varying lengths.

Since I've gotten my roll-to-roll setup going now I'm wondering if it's possible to have Onyx layout stuff automatically to fill a certain area. Say I've got some 11.5" x 9.5" pieces and some 10.5" x 9.38" pieces...I want to be able to toss it into the Rip telling it how many copies I need of...

Thanks for the tips guys! Highly appreciated! For single sheets of just use a little piece of backing paper to get it started and just feed sheets through, being careful not to let sheet run through the nip before the next sheet I put in. Rolls have been great and it's easier than I thought...

How easy is it to learn? I thought about doing the trial to see if I like it.

I've never had an "old way" I'm still pretty green in vinyl printing. Everything I've learned in this area is either by video or reading. I know many have their own ways of doing things so it's nice to get an idea so I can try them and figure out what works best for my setup.

Yeah I'm just talking like 1 or 2 sheets though not a roll. I totally understand what your saying though for roll-to-roll.

Yeah I'm probably over-thinking it a bit. I did have this idea the other day though. I'm gonna try this way out.

Yeah that's what I followed. How do you handle the sheets after they have been laminated to the rewind roll? That is what I'm curious about for those with this type of machine. I'm coming from my RS 1400, which is so easy to do sheets on because there is no reminder in the back and a channel to...

So I finally received my GFP 363TH and seems pretty easy to setup. Just a learning curve on a new machine. I'm so used to doing everything as sheets, but I will have to transfer to roll to roll eventually when I feel comfortable with the process of doing roll-to-roll. How do you laminate sheets...

Ah ok I figured as much. I haven't looked into it. I use Thrive version of Onyx currently. I do print and cut. There are sheet cut functions I can't seem to get to work on v19. When I tried v21 it worked but I did run into it not reading a barcode a couple of times. Just wondering which option...

Since getting my Graphtec FC9000 I've found that my version of Onyx (19) doesn't support full functionality of the cutter for what I want to do. I tried Onyx version 21 but it still wasn't great. I haven't tried Flexi and doing things through illustrator and cut master seems very tedious from...
