  2. Graphtec FC7000 cutter BED gouged, NOT strip

    A buddy of mine local saw my plight and suggested this fix which I'm going to implement tomorrow. The bean-counters at Graphtec are asking for me to agree to waive any rights of warranty or anything else if I'm going to replace a plastic strip on my cutter. Duh. So I'm going to try the...
  3. Graphtec FC7000 cutter BED gouged, NOT strip

    Steve, what do you mean by really expensive? I run lots of different types of materials and have to vary the pressure often.
  4. Graphtec FC7000 cutter BED gouged, NOT strip

    The plastic cutting bed on my graphtec FC7000-130MK2 is gouged. It's breaking blades at this point and they tend to rip right through the teflon topper strip because of the gouges in the plastic below. There's a channel there that it mounts in, but I CANNOT find this part anywhere. Jack at GRS...
  5. Mutoh VJ1204 screeching noise when rolling media fast

    Very faint in one direction, but it's definitely there. I'm leaning towards downloading a service manual and trying this myself. Needs to be done, no money to do it and if I go down even LESS money as you all well know. Anyone have experience replacing bearings in a VJ1204? How about...
  6. Mutoh VJ1204 screeching noise when rolling media fast

    Ok, this started years ago on and off. It was sporadic but now as of today it's constant. When the material runs on the higher speed, something inside SCREAMS, sounds like metal on metal screeching. At printing speeds there are no noises. What should I check for first? Any suggestions, ideas or...
  7. why does "reduce points" refuse to work for me?

    You know it's funny, I come back to this thread occasionally because the question while solved has never actually been answered. FYI, I'm not talking around things here, the "reduce points" tool actually does NOTHING. Yes, the vector is selected and no using the tool does not reduce the number...

  9. Looking for font ID!

    Hey everyone, hope you're making the most of this sunshine if you're in the NE by me.... looking for this particular font. Anyone know it? Thanks!!! Ian
  10. Flexi Cloud Is Here!

    Perfect timing. Got caught in Sandy and lost my XP computer in the flood... finally realized that SAi gives not a **** about it's customers but it's my software and it's what I know... so I had to shell out $600 to upgrade to 10 because the only computer I had that didn't get destroyed runs...
  11. Gradients in Flexi 10.5.1 shifting

    I'd happily turn in a hairy-chested real-man card to have software that worked.
  12. Gradients in Flexi 10.5.1 shifting

    Ok this is exactly the answer that will have me finding the half-witted programmers that wrote this ****-ware and doing bloody murder on them. SERIOUSLY? Thousands of dollars, and it just happens? That's the answer I was afraid of... I was sincerely hoping that I was the idiot. Anyone else have...
  13. Gradients in Flexi 10.5.1 shifting

    Ok. So why, when I have gradients assigned to a group do they shift without me selecting and modifying them? I've been hampered by this for too long, it's time to learn why this happens. In some cases, I can simply copy a group out with ctrl-click and drag and all the gradients contained in BOTH...
  14. Graphtec FC 7000 130-MKII contour cutting problem

    Thank you!!!! I printed that out and it's tacked to my board for reference!!! Even though I did get it to work so far on a run of about 5', this is non-cleared stuff that I can hand-cut if necessary. If I'm dealing with cast and long runs I may very well try your method! For now, the four-sight...
  15. Graphtec FC 7000 130-MKII contour cutting problem

    Bob, are you telling me there's a possibility that the two just suddenly decided there's a difference between an inch and an inch between them and from now on I will have to go through a different more time consuming process to get the contour cuts to work? I'm sorry, but I also don't understand...
  16. Graphtec FC 7000 130-MKII contour cutting problem

    Actually, no. Sorry if I mis-spoke but it's reading the far right mark, then the far left mark both at the beginning edge of the vinyl. It then advances and skews to the right again to find the right mark at the other end of the material, but runs the sheet no matter how long out of the cutter...
  17. Graphtec FC 7000 130-MKII contour cutting problem

    Ok, I'm running a Mutoh 1204 VJ and a Graphtec FC7000 MKII 130. Just recently my contour cuts started acting up. First I noticed on a 12' run, about 14-16" of the cut was off by about a half inch. The rest was close. Next problem that appeared was a tendency to cut a full inch off on repeated...

  19. Drop Shadow Effect Not Working Flexi 10

    Here's one connected to that... on duplicate items which have had shadows (transparent ones) applied using the exact same settings.... why do they never print the same? They appear on my screen all the way even through production manager the same... but I can never predict how they will print...
  20. Flexi 10 - VJ1204 - Illustrator gradients changing direction

    I have gotten the same in 8.1.1 AND 10.5.1. No solution so far. I'm experiencing the same sort of effect with the new transparent shadow tool. They never seem to print the same, no matter the profile. I just ran two identical pieces of art, both with the exact same shadow settings. One is dark...
