Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this... I know that I'm using a cutter so old that it has started to take on a "vintage" status (wait til you hear about the printer). So, back to it. Trying to keep up with the times I thought the whole world of contour cutting could be just...

I print a lot of wide format prints but I don't do any contour cutting in-house because I don't own a contour cutter. Every now and then we get a contour cut job for a client. What's a good price per square for contour cut window graphics? This would be printed in full color.

I'm having issues with the cutter portion of my Roland XC 540. The cut carriage follows the path of the contour cut line, but the blade won't drop to contour cut. Is it simply a setting? How do I test the magnet coil of the cutter? What am I missing? Suggestions?

Hi I'm having an issue with my contour cutting on my overlapping tiles in both FLEXI and Versaworks, it's cutting everything but the actual side that overlaps? I'm not sure if I have something set the wrong way or what on the RIP settings or what does anyone have any idea what could be going on...

Has anyone came across arlon dp 8000 with a waxy backing. I'm contour cutting this material and its a nightmare. The other material that is a nightmare to contour cut is the t shirt material. It is as if when the rollers change direction it slides momenTARILY and through time keeps throwing...

hiya, i have 1370 vinyl that tends to move slightly left and right. It's grand when printing though when contour cutting is an absolute nightmare. I've tried setting the pressure of each roller and all seem as should be. Any suggestions? Magnets to the machine to guide the paper straight??? Thanks

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...

I'm using a Mimaki CG-160FX with Onyx Cut Server. The plotter fails to find the 3rd crop mark every time, though I can verify the material is loaded straight. You can actually watch the "eye" go right over it but somehow doesn't detect it. I'm trying to cut 3M IJ35 with a matte lamination...
