Well if you absolutely have to cut off the overlap, I'd run a fresh blade down the overlap at an angle and remove the strip left under the overlapping side. After that, I'd put some edge sealer on. If you want to go the extra mile, try some adhesion promoter. A lot of what will happen over time...

I don't see any of the parts in question connecting to any board, but both you and the technician at Reece hinted that a board replacement will be necessary. Why is this? The only parts the guy at Graphtec told me the #'s for were: Y pulley Part Number 792700705 Pin Part Number 772126660 In...

After talking to Graphtec America and a tech Reece Supply, the problem is apparently the pulley/gear on the right side of the machine. The tech is going to be out of town all week apparently, but I do have part numbers. Is this something we could do ourselves? We've replaced parts on our...

After preforming a reset on the cutter, nothing changed. I thought it might be a firmware error but apparently not. I preformed more test cutting today. It deviates in exactly the same manner every time for any given file, but the deviation seems inconsistent across different files. As an...

It gains and looses differently based on what file I cut. Most of the time it looses ground, but sometimes it gains. The drive belt seems tensioned well enough. I don't see any sag and it stays in position on the gear when moved over the length of the cutting area. At this point I'm...

I am e-mailing graphtec america as well, but many times internet forums yield superior results. Ive done a bit more testing to further define the problem. It's definitely a problem with the cutter itself, not the software I am using. I started by printing a test file consisting of two rows...

Whomever wrote that article did so in a confusing way. This is the result, but I don;t know if it's good or bad.

Our FC7000-160 has begun to skew it's cut paths recently. This is a new problem. Before someone suggest it, the pinch rollers are correctly adjusted. This isn't a material slant problem. I've attached an example that shows the manner in which it cuts wrong. I think it might be the reading...

The page looks good. Minimalism is a style as good as any other I say. The only nit picks I have are: 1. the amount of space at the bottom of the page blow the "© Copyright Plus Signs, LLC. All rights reserved." line is too much. 2. I think "Plus Signs signs" should just be "Plus Signs"

Our method is very similar to SecondCityPrint's. We take a $10 box fan from wal-mart and mount wooden stands on it so that it faces downward and stays about 4 inches off the floor. Then we loosely unwind a roll of material so that air can be pulled through it and leave it standing on the fan...

I'm not sure about 210 using hand held lamination tools, but I have no problem with it running 25 yards of 54" material through our seal ultra. It's the laminate I use most at work.

Thanks. Where did you find that, if you don't mind my asking?

Does anyone know where I can find out what exactly each firmware upgrade does? I use v1.80 on my fc7000 but I noticed that they have up to v2.1 for download, but no changelog. Seems kind of half-assed not to include that info in the zip.

I was a computer tech before I got into the sign industry. Even got certified. Here's some info: If you get a virus, do not restart your computer until you run a virus scan. A virus cannot completely compromise vital system components that are already loaded. To get really bad, it needs to...

I use both a GBC 2080 WFt and a Seal Ultra 62 at work. When laminating on either one using 8518 Scotchcal Overlaminate, there is always a line in the advesive where the backing seperates from the laminate. This only happens when the material has been still for any time at all, which is at the...

After some hours of calibration, the new print head with the gold plate prints better than the one we replaced did. The print quality is now excellent. It has been at least two weeks since then and there have been no problems.

To finish this thread up I'm going to post my original problem / cause of the problem, symptoms, and resolution. My boss had to replace a print head, but during the stage of trying to recover the old print head, some solvent got on the PF encoder disc. This resulted in portions of the encoder...

We replaced the encoder disc with a spare that we had. The problem is gone.

Im going to go ahead and assume the encoder disc shouldn't have water stains on it.

Im getting large bands in prints on one of our VJ1604's. We're having to reprint 20 yards of 3MIJ108Cv3, but it happens to every material to a lesser degree. The printer makes a low thumping sound every few seconds or so. You can hear it in this file...
