Here is my design submission, I'm in first place so far, guaranteed to be a head turner
Let me know if you need my address to send prizes to.
Best part is this will be an easy install, DIY
Uncle Sam is going to be very happy the day I sell, I've been doing research on how to reinvest to delay taxes down the road but there does not seem to be a way.
I could see a problem or two coming up with AMD video card drivers, I've had a few that could be blamed on either illustrator or AMD video card drivers but those get fixed pretty quickly with driver updates. NVIDIA not immune to video driver bugs either. The current platform has matured and...
Forgot that this 3770k pc is on windows 10, don't think 11 is possible due to the TMP security thing that win 11 requires. Win 11 can be set up very close visually to win 10 so hard to tell a difference without digging in
My 7950x has the big noctua cooler NH-D15 , idle Temps are good not much...
All of my computers are windows 11 now except for the flatbed cutter is on win10. No issued related to win 11.
7950x will be plenty for the next 10 years. My main designs/gaming PC is 7950x and RIP is 5800x.
I'm typing this on a 11 year old 3770k (was 2nd fastest cpu in 2012) PC, one benefit...
Back off on the pressure, blade just deep enough to get through the vinyl/laminate. Run that 2-3 times, same pressure, same blade depth every time and see how it goes
6 mil vinyl + 15 mil laminate. I would try doing several cutting passes. I know I would not enjoy trying to cut detailed stuff on 21mil material on a roll2roll cutter
My first guess would be the expired inks, how long ago did they expire? Give the inks a good shake to mix, inks probably settled from sitting for so long.
Test on another media to rule out media
My 11 year old Roland VS series doesn't cut great anymore either, I'm guessing due to the age. But I have separate cutters so haven't tried to fix or figure out the cause
There are a number of vectorizing services that do excellent work. I've been sending out all my vectorizing needs out that would take me more than 5 minutes to do.

The worst part about the oem blades is the tip breaking, 10% of the blades would break on day 1 for me when I had summa t series. Left a comment about it on summa reviews and that was deleted pretty fast. Blades are way too expensive for them to break that fast
What does the material/laminate cost per square foot? Calculate 54" x 200" of material = 75 Sq Ft , ink roughly 30 cents per square foot
So 75sq ft x material cost per sq ft + $23 (ink) = your cost to print. Mark it up however much you want
But you should really know how much you charge per...
One other difference I have noticed between OEM blades and the cheap chinese blades is the OEM blades tend to chip at the tip at the end of life, they'll cut great until they chip mid job and then don't cut at all. The chinese blades tend to get duller and duller without tip chipping so cutting...
