  3. Cut Blade Has One Spot Where It Gets Confused?

    We have an old but very great Roland SolJet XC-540. There's a spot on the printer about about 12" in. Whenever the carriage passes over this spot, the blade toggles up and down a couple times. It isn't dragging over the print or messing up the ink while printing, but it goes up and down, so...
  4. Does anyone remember this product? (Han-D-Cut Linear slicer / paper cutter)

    Note: Sorry for the bad quality photo, it's the only one I could find of the cutter and it was sitting in the background, so I had to crop everything else out and zoom in on the cutter. Does anyone remember this cutter? I believe it was called a "linear cutter" or "linear slicer" The first...
  5. what degree blade is preferred 1-4 mil vinyl?

    I think my old age is getting me now. We have a S2 t-160 series cutter and the blade we have been using needs changing. I see where Airmark recommends a 45° blade as standard, a 36° for reflective and a 60° for sandblast medias. I was under the impression a 36° would be the best for universal...
  6. Blade scraping on media clamps?

    we've been replacing cut blades at an alarming rate on our roland truevis vg-540. at first i thought it was due to too much pressure when cutting, but after replacing the strip, the blade, and dialing back the pressure, realized something else is breaking the blades. took a close look at the...
  7. Roland Soljet ProIII XC-540 cut depth problems - help

    Hey all! We are currently working with our go-to tech guy, but this issue is a pretty big mystery with a lot of back and forth, so I'm just throwing it on here in case any of you have experienced this before. Our Roland 54 no longer cuts consistently from day to day and even job to job. Here's...
  8. Need Help Red Or Blue Blade Holder Graphtec Fc8600

    My plotter came with the Blue blade holder and the CB09UB blade. I Often use the perf cut feature and have read it would be better to purchase the Red blade holder and some of the CB15UA blades and swap them out when i go to do the purf cut. Does anyone have any experience with the red over...

    Hey Guys so i ordered some concept 235 (4mil) & 238 over lam (12mil), now i have problems cutting when i feed it back in after lamination. Doesn't seem to cut deep enough?

  10. Graphtec FC 7000 130 blade notlifting between cuts.

    We have been fighting this problem for over a year. We can send 20 jobs and everything is fine. Then suddenly in the middle of a job the blade gets "stuck" in the down position. If you grab it you can lift it up fairly easily, however when you let go it goes right back down. Case in point...
  11. Need Help Graphtec FC-8000-130 error E01019

    I need some help. I've had this plotter for several years without any problems. I tried to plot with it and it asks for type of media (ie:Roll, sheet) so I pick either one and the blade carriage moves slowly to the far left then hits the end and gives me "ERROR E01019" message. I've installed...
  12. cutting blade help

    Would anyone know where to get the cutting blades for a mutoh ultima SC-1400D? They have the small stop on the end that a lot of them do not have. We are needing the 60 degree blades for the thick material that we cut. I can always find them on Ebay but they are out of the US. I used to have a...
  13. CB15UB blade

    Hi guys, We have some jobs that require small text to be plotted and we have been using the CB09UA blade. This is fine but I noticed the smaller text the harder it is to cut cleanly - the joins are not complete and in some places it doesn't cut through the media all the way so we have to finish...
  14. Question Are sharp angles on perforation cuts possible???

    Hello Folks, Just wondering if it is possible to print and cut on a soljet pro4 xr 640 a simple 7" triangular decal?? I am having a hell of a time getting clean cuts. I have replaced the current blade with a new 60 degree blade, change the offset to .25 and still no luck. I'm running orajet...
  15. Head scratcher weeding issue?

    I produce small stickers. After a couple years I have ironed out most bugs, but weeding continues to be unpredictable and painfully frustrating. For a few months - no issues, then it all of the sudden starts weeding horrible. I use a 3m vinyl with Avery 1460 lam with a d60 summa plotter. I have...
  16. cutter drag / running off on print & contour cut - voltage, blade angle or depth?

    Hi Folks, I'm running a tjet1671c. My 'current' prob is that it starts a cut fine but as time goess on the cut runs off. i'm cutting out motox / quad decals. 1.5m x 1.5m. If I use 2 or 3 cuts, after the first cut, the 2nd cut is say 5mm on the x and y axis off. i had thought it was initially...
  17. 45 Degree vs 60 Degree Blade

    I'm hoping the community here can weigh in on this for me as I keep getting different answers from different places. Originally, we were using a 45 degree blade on our Roland Sp-540V. But as our small lettering kept tearing, someone recommended switching to a 60 degree blade for fine detail...
  18. Brand New Blade "Tearing" Vinyl?

    We recently started cutting 2mil cast vinyl for one color designs, instead of wasting ink printing. Last week, we had to change the 60 degree blade as it had become severely dull (we thought the blade would last longer than 2 months, but we have been cutting 6mil vinyl a lot so perhaps that...
