This has only shown up in my last few runs but when cutting just 2ml vinyl the blade is cutting right through the vinyl and backing and the force is set at 0. I am using a 45 degree blade and it is NOT brand new I think is was changed a couple weeks ago so I am not sure what the issue might be...

I am printing a graphic that has an arc to it and it is printing very choppy even at the high rez setting (1200dpi). If there any settings I can tweak in omega or something I should look into on the design side. The graphic was produced in Illustrator and is completely vectors printed with spot...

I just purchased a new computer running windows 7 64bit home prem. I installed Omega 4.0 with no problem but when I am trying to add a vinyl printer the dialog is only giving me an option of local to install from. The remote and network tabs are not there and I need the network tab to install...

I am moving my plotter and need a longer cord. Do I need to get something special or will any RS-232 cable work? The cable I have now has a serial 9 pin adapter on one end and a 25 connector with just 3 pins. I would appreciate any help.

Anyone have any Avery Light Briar Brown Metallic vinyl? I need about 2yds for a custom project and really don't want to get a 10yd roll. I have checked a couple other suppliers who sell by the yard with no luck so far.

Hello, just upgraded to Omega 4.0 and tried to update my FX firmware. Looked like everything went fine but when the printer rebooted I am getting "fatal error 14" and now it is just stuck like that. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Has anyone else noticed certain colors printing out of registration worse than others. I have noticed specifically flood coat white and the silver medal printing out of registration much worse than other colors. Even with choke and spread I have the silver medal printing almost 10 pixels out of...

Just wondering if anyone signed up for a road show event and if you did have you received any type of confirmation? I signed up for one and have not received any kind of information. Just want to make sure I didn't screw something up.

I switched out my router a month or so ago, and since then I had to change my FX IP address which allows me to print fine. However when I start up the machine a message comes up stating "can not find in DHCP" the printer works fine but my wireless connection to my computer the printer is hooked...

Just wanted to get some real world experience with the medal foils. I am looking into adding some silver medal accents to some prints and have never used any of the medal series. Does anyone have an example of something they have printed? how well does it hold up outside if laminated? does it...

I have a particular print that I am using just 2 spot colors black and atomic red and clear to allow the vinyl to show through. When I send the print the FX is giving me a foil mismatch error. Also when I send the print from GSPplot I get a mismatched material/foil types. I am totally lost I...

I have a gray scale jpg I need to print and my questions are will it print in CMYK? or is there a way to print it with just black foil with the white vinyl showing through for the highlights? would this need to be setup in Omega or the design software (Photoshop)? Thanks for any help.

Anyone have any luck printing on diamond plate vinyl? if so what brands? Thanks in advance

Turned on the fx sent print to fx and an error popped up. The message stated "Error on bind = 10048 for 0" If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. The message is occurring in the Omega 3.0 software not the printer itself. It looks like everything is working OK but...

When printing with the FX are there any benefits to printing at 600dpi when you have solid fills? Does 600dpi use any more ribbon? Why or why not print at 600dpi? Something I never gave much thought until a customer asked. I understand the dots per inch for a normal printer but since Gerber...

I need a little input regarding the Gerber Spectratone guide. I would say 90% of the stuff I do is using spot colors with solid fills. What I need is input whether or not I should shell out the $300 bucks to purchase one. In concept it seems very valuable but wanted to know what you all thought...

I am printing with an FX and here is the problem. Decal has three colors black, red, and silver. Black and silver print fine but when it comes to a couple small red details the printer pauses makes a noise skips then repeats (pause, skip, noise). What results is the red details are misaligned by...

Here is what I am doing, and I am trying to find the best solution. The Decal is red, with a clear box, and a white graphic on top of the red. Printed on clear vinyl with Abrasion guard. What I want to do: Back the entire red decal with white leaving clear box clear. Then print the red...

Does anyone know a good source who sells vinyl by the yard? I need a very small amount of a couple colors I probably won't use again. I am looking for Oracal or if I have to avery. Thanks.

When applying the matte clear foil finish over the top of lets say a gloss black vinyl, will it give it a matte or satin finish to the entire decal? Sorry this may be a obvious question just want to see how this has worked for you guys. I know I could use a satin laminate but I need these...
