  1. HP Latex Cutter

    If you are using Flexi I've had a similar issue, but not exactly the same. Mine would be that when sending a cut only job from Production Manager it just wouldn't start cutting at all. If it's something similar to this you can try going to the flexi folder -->...
  2. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    Yes the empty edge is where the perf cut goes. It also makes it easier to remove the sticker from the backing if the vinyl isn't all the way to the edge. My main reason for switching the blade is that it preserves a nice sharp blade for cutting the vinyl, whereas cutting the backing dulls the...
  3. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    I usually leave an empty edge around my stickers that are cut out. So if you kiss cut then weed and then perf cut so that the perf cut is only cutting the backing it seems to work really well. For some reason I never get good results perf cutting through the vinyl and backing, but I have gotten...
  4. Canon billing

    The Order Confirmation has order no. 20453491. The Pick List has order SHNUA055, but doesn't include the other order number. The Master Packing List has both order no. 20453491 and SHNUA055. The Invoice has order no. 20453491. They all seem to have the order no. 20453491 other than the Pick...
  5. Latex Printer in apartment?

    One other requirement on the power is that they will want you to be very close to 220v on each line. The lines at my place were hovering between 235-240 and I had to install special transformers to get the voltage down to 220. Mine was a 700, but if I remember correctly the 315 would have been...
  6. SAI Enroute and Windows 11?

    Go to the program files and see if there is a 32-bit executable there that you can run instead of the 64-bit. I'm willing to bet the 64-bit version won't work, but the 32-bit version will. File path should be something like this if it hasn't been changed ---> C:\Program Files\SAi\"Enroute"...
  7. Flexi Can't Cut Corners Properly

    Ya for some reason I didn't even think twice about this. Usually everything I am cutting is larger and didn't become an issue really until I print/cut some smaller letters. That's exactly what I was thinking and I think I spent too much time trying to troubleshoot the offset and was stuck on...
  8. Flexi Can't Cut Corners Properly

    I always set the offset on the cutter and not in the software. I think my screen shot I had it enabled just because I was trying all of these different settings. That is set in Production Manager, I will try disabling overcut and the other settings from the RIP and Print menus and see if that...
  9. Flexi Can't Cut Corners Properly

    I don't know if I am missing something or what is going on, but I can't seem to get good results cutting from Flexi at all. It doesn't matter if it's print and cut or just straight cutting vinyl, the corners when cutting from flexi are always messed up and the cutting looks messy in general. If...
  10. Cursed customer

    There is a guy at my squash club that I used to play with every now and then, he is a few divisions lower than myself, but we would play if we are both there for fun. Two of the times I rolled my ankle and sprained it when I was on court with him. The third time he was watching one of my matches...
  11. HP 115 Power Question

    So I just went through all this shit when I got my HP 700. The dealer asked for photos of the voltage coming from the outlets as well before they would deliver the printer. The outlets were right at 240v after wiring in new new breakers and outlets. They said I had to get the voltage to 220v on...
  12. chrome wrap

    I'm confused. Are you actually trying to sell your chrome delete to a bunch of industry people?:roflmao:
  13. Continue with Roland print and cut solutions or move to a 2 piece print and cut solution?

    Like everyone else has said go with separate machines. If you have the space available for separate machines do it. I have recently move from a Roland print/cut setup to separate machines with a Summa and I am kicking myself that I didn't do it years ago. Definitely way better.
  14. perf cutting

    Every vinyl is going to be different and also the blade depth / type of blade will also make a difference. But for a start I have a 60° in my Summa right now and my settings were in the attached screenshot. I did my contour cut first and removed the material and weeded it out and then put the...
  15. Contra Vision Perforated Window Film

    I have been using the Contravision Performance perf for a long time. I have never used the campaign version, just the 60/40 Performance and HD Performance. I still have some 10ft x 90in windows I did I think around 3 years ago still up and haven't start to lift at all, I had just checked them...
  16. Perforated vinyl application...

    According to Contravision documentation they say to butt the ends and not use an overlap. Like it has been said use an overlap and cut it afterwards. I went by an install I did probably around 4 years ago on some 10ft x 7ft windows and they still look great.
  17. Looking for Thick Laminate Suggestions

    I wouldn't use either of those 3M vinyl's for a motorsports application. You are going to want something more aggressive meant for plastics. You want a Low Surface Energy material. I'd pair their laminate with their vinyl. I can't comment on the performance of their materials yet as I am waiting...
  18. Noobie Questions about these "templates"

    Simple answer is no. Chances are any of the templates you see online won't be accurate to just trace out and use. There are some websites I think that will sell you the templates, but I don't remember who they are off hand. I also haven't used any of them so I don't know how good they are. If...
  19. Customer artwork

    It's really pretty simple, just tell them it is not vector artwork regardless of the file extension and they will need to submit acceptable artwork if they don't want to pay for it. If they don't want to believe me so be it, it's really not the type of customer I want. Some people will just not...
