  1. Help! Contour Cutting on Reflective Vinyl with Mutoh Ultima SC 1400D

    It cuts white vinyl fine. It's only the reflective we're having a problem with.
  2. Help! Contour Cutting on Reflective Vinyl with Mutoh Ultima SC 1400D

    Need help badly. We have a Mutoh Ultima SC 1400D cutter. We are trying to print and contour cut 20" x 58" decals on Oralite 5650RA. We are using Onyx to print to our HP L25500 Latex printer. Onyx Cut Server to create a .plt file and Mutoh Cut Server to cut the .plt file. We are doing it this way...
  3. Ultraflexx = Ultrasuxx

    We just tried a sample roll of Sihl's 3110 SureView. Printed great but the liner seemed to be fused to the mesh in spots. I have not had time to try adjusting temperatures to see if the problem can be fixed. HP's mesh banner worked perfectly, but it looks like they may have discontinued it...
  4. Sintra (PVC) vs Styrene and UV Stability

    This will sound like a dumb question from someone in the large format business for over 10 years, but which board, sintra (PVC) or styrene is UV stable? I'm hearing conflicting information from suppliers and production experts. I remember when I first started I was using Sintra for some outdoor...
  5. Heat transfers for the LS2550 Latex?

    Has anyone found a heat transfer material for the HP25500 latex printer? There was a link to a company called Chemica which claims to have a material approved by HP. Anyone actually tried this media? Any other recommendations?
  6. Contour cutting problem with Onyx 10 Cut Server with Mutoh SC-1400D

    About to give up. I've tried every possible configuration of USECUTSPLINES. One thing I noticed. If I tell Onyx the cutter is set up as USB it does not communicate at all. I have to configure as a serial connection. Then it communicates, but not correctly. I've also tried all the emulation...

  8. Contour cutting problem with Onyx 10 Cut Server with Mutoh SC-1400D

    I started a new job where we have a Mutoh Ultima SC-1400D and Onyx Cut Server. I've been able to print with the registration box and bar code but the cutter cuts what looks like a strange alien version of what it's supposed to cut. I've attached a photo of the problem (larger version attached)...

  10. Rogue cutting contour cut printing

    I started a new job where we have a Mutoh Ultima SC-1400D and Onyx Cut Server. I've been able to print with the registration box and bar code but the cutter cuts strange angular shapes somewhat similar to what it's supposed to cut, but not in the correct place. I've attached a photo of the...
  11. HPL25500 Discontinued? Why?

    Yes - I realize the L26500 replaced the L25500. Is there a problem with the L25500 that I should be aware of? What can the L26500 do that the L25500 can not?
  12. HPL25500 Discontinued? Why?

    I just started a new position and we have the HPL25500 60" latex printer. We had to replace some parts and I discovered this printer is now discontinued. Can anyone tell me why this printer was discontinued? I thought it was one of the hottest printers out there. It was kind of difficult to...
  13. Which Flexi RIP should we be looking at?

    Thanks - Flexi offers huge discount Thanks everyone for responding. I discovered that Flexi offers a 60% discount if you already own Onyx or other competitive RIP. Still a lot of money, but not as bad as we thought. After looking at all the versions we need at least Expert.
  14. Which Flexi RIP should we be looking at?

    We have an HPL25500 Latex 60" printer and a Mutoh Ultima SC 1400D. We want to produce contour cut printed vinyl as well as cut regular solid vinyl for lettering, etc. We purchased Onyx Production House with Cut Server, but now discovered that Onyx does not support cutting regular solid colored...
  15. Can Onyx Cut Server be used to cut plain solid vinyl?

    No cutting plug-in is available from Mutoh. I am not aware of any 3rd party plug-ins. I have not found any way to turn off registration marks in Onyx. Thanks for the suggestions. If anyone has any other ideas please feel free to post.
  16. Can Onyx Cut Server be used to cut plain solid vinyl?

    Thanks everyone. I already have the contour cutting workflow white paper, which is very helpful for contour cutting. Unfortunately it only covers contour cutting and we're trying to cut to plain vinyl for lettering, etc. I tried printing to file and sending it to the cutter, but I get an error...
  17. Can Onyx Cut Server be used to cut plain solid vinyl?

    Hello! Can Onyx Cut Server be used to cut plain solid vinyl? I just took over a position at a new company. They are using Onyx RIP X10 for printing to our HP25500. They bought a Mutoh Ultima SC 1400D for contour cutting printed graphics, but have never used it. We also want to use it to cut...
  18. Print/Cut on NON magnetized magnet

    Recently at SGIA we ran into a company called Flexmag. They offer printable magnetic sheeting which starts out unmagnetized and then you use their machine to magnetize the material after you've print, laminated, and cut it. The sheeting is .009 (9ml) and comes in matte and gloss. The matte is...
  19. How long after painting can vinyl be applied?

    I have a client with a harbor shuttle boat that wants vinyl lettering and a print-contour-cut decal. He is painting the boat and wants the lettering applied the day after it's painted. How long should paint cure before applying vinyl? This is an ocean craft.
  20. Leather effect for large banner.

    We have a client who needs a very large banner, 99" x 76". They sell horses and want a leather-look background. I would normally use Photoshop's textures to create a leather effect, but this banner is too large and the texture effect is too small. I'm planning on 100-150 dpi for this image. Can...
