  1. Do sales people get a commission from phone orders?

    Hello, I'm interested in placing an order from SignWarehouse, and yes I've ordered from them before and have not had any issues. I recently emailed a question to a sales rep who once in a while emails me about things, I asked about a price quote for something. The difference between their...
  2. JRA-signsupplies sent the wrong item!

    No, I don't order my supplies from eBay. Years ago when I first started getting into decal making I ordered two cheap no name rolls of vinyl, but after that I now only order from well known businesses. I've never had an issue with SignWarehouse or USCutter. I need tape asap and though reluctant...
  3. JRA-signsupplies sent the wrong item!

    This is more of a complaint but I do have some questions. I broke my vow never to order supplies from eBay ever again after receiving poor quality material to save $$$ a few years ago. I kept seeing the name JRA (jra-signsupplies) here and on other forums, sounded trustworthy and well liked...

  5. Why is Clear application tape so hated?

    Hello, I'm wondering why clear application tape seems to be hated by so many decal makers? I've only worked with RTape Clear Choice AT60 application tape with Oracal 651 and up until recently I had never had any issues with it, and it's always worked very well. However, I very recently noticed...
  6. RTape AT60 not sticking to Oracal 651

    Hi, thanks a lot for your post. Just out of curiosity when you tried to switch what did you try out and what was your biggest complaint or complaints about it? And what specific Conform Series tape are you using at the moment? I would prefer clear, my decals are small (largest is about 13...
  7. RTape AT60 not sticking to Oracal 651

    Thanks for input so far! I found two other forums where others have been having recent AT60 issues too, so I contacted USCutter to voice my complaint and to try and find out more info about this and here's what they replied: Thank you for your detailed description of the problem and commitment...

    Hi, so you've had this issue too? What do you use or what are some brands that you like?
  9. RTape AT60 not sticking to Oracal 651

    Hello, I'm having a big issue with my application tape (Clear Choice RTape AT60) not sticking well to my decals, vinyl Oracal 651. Here's what's going on, the tape adheres fine to the paper liner, no issues there. When it comes to the actual decal it will not stick properly to the entire...
  10. Can't get rid of HP-GL error 1, any tips?

    UPDATE: I think the issue has been resolved, it's in the middle of a cut which is progress as it wasn't cutting at all. I called Graphtec tech support, my machine had HP-GL selected and not GP-GL (I think that's what it's called). However changing it did not take at first, so then the tech...
  11. Can't get rid of HP-GL error 1, any tips?

    *I HAVE POSTED AN UPDATE BELOW* Hello, my Graphtec CE5000-60 is displaying the HP-GL error 1 message on the screen and as of this message I am having a tough time figuring out how to resolve it, I'm searching for info online but I'm not really sure what to look into and so far have not found...
  12. Blade arm not dropping, advice? Graphtec CE5000-60

    Hi, thanks a lot for your post and information :smile: . When I first ran into my issue I did contact Graphtec support and was able to speak with a tech. They had me try a few basic things like experiment with Pen mode, and reset back to the factory settings, but none of that worked. Then the...
  13. Blade arm not dropping, advice? Graphtec CE5000-60

    Graphtec CE-5000-60 purchased in 2009 (refurbished). The machine was cutting fine today, then suddenly the arm that holds the blade stopped dropping. The carriage moves and acts as if it were cutting something, but the arm/blade stays in place never drops and does not make contact with the...
  14. Possible to use Reduce Nodes button on imported images?

    Hello, anyone know if it's possible to import an outlined image saved as an AI file (specifically Illustrator 9) into CorelDraw X3 and be able to use the Reduce Nodes button? I'm still trying to figure out CorelDraw X3, I'm able to use the button on objects created in Corel, but so far not...
  15. Squiggles in my designs visible in Illustrator - affecting cuts

    Doing research and my CorelDraw X3 seems a little more promising than my Illustrator 9. Trying really hard not to have to re-trace all my designs, but if that's the best way to get better results then oh well, as long as I have good music to listen to while I'm doing it. This YouTube video is...
  16. Squiggles in my designs visible in Illustrator - affecting cuts

    Thanks for the info so far, will look into it. My Illustrator version is 9. The Flash method worked very well with my previous set up, the cuts were clean and bump free. The Flash tools are very easy to use compared to Illustrator's, at least for me but I will practice more with both...
  17. Squiggles in my designs visible in Illustrator - affecting cuts

    Hello, I recently upgraded cutters from a Master Tiger 1000 to a Graphtec CE 5000-60, my Master machine quit on me :noway:. I've always created vector images in Macromedia Flash, then would copy and save them as .AI files in my Illustrator 9 because .AI files are good files for my SignGO lite...
  18. Cutting Master 2 is not applying the correct Job size - Illustrator

    Hi, just updating my question above. It looks like it was the "Step Size", the step size in the cutter and Cutting Master did not match. Changed those and the Job Size is being applied fine. But now I have a graphics question which I'll ask separately :doh:. Thank you.
  19. Help getting SignGo software to communicate with Graphtec 5000-60

    Hi, just updating my question above. It looks like it was the "Step Size", the step size in the cutter and SignGo did not match. Changed those and the cutter is now responding to SignGo. But now I have a graphics question which I'll ask separately :doh:. Thank you.
  20. Cutting Master 2 is not applying the correct Job size - Illustrator

    Hello, I have a new Graphtec CE 5000-60 cutter I'm still trying to figure out, decided to try out the Cutting Master 2 plug-in it came with for use with Illustrator. So far it seems very simple and easy to use, expect for the fact that it's not obeying the changes I make in the Job Size...
