contour cutting

I'm having a unique issue that I can't find much help with. I'm using the Onyx PosterShop and Cut Server that came with my Epson printer and my cutter is a Graphtec 8600-130. Everything works perfect when I print and contour cut large spot graphics (40" wide or larger) but when I try to cut...

For large, contour cut logos that span 2 or more panels, I've been setting up separate cut lines and their overlaps in Illustrator. Are there any RIPs that can do this automatically? I'd like to be able to just have my logo and the one cut line, then send it to the RIP where I can set my overlap...

Hey y'all Wondering if anyone has had any experiences with contour cutting 13oz scrim vinyl material? We have a Graphtec FC8600. I work for a university, and our athletics department is asking if we can print vinyl and have it cut to a jersey shape. I'm thinking that this would end up being a...

I'm running Flexi 12 with a Mutoh VJ-1624x. When I have a print that I have paneled and a contour cut it prints the panel that I have selected but when I go to cut the contour on my Q64 cutter is looks for the registration marks for the whole print and not just the panel which was printed. I...

I am fairly new to using this machine and we didn't get much support setting it up. Lately I have been having issues with it cutting contours accurately. In the attached photos the text should have an even outline but as you can see it is off center to the left. We use registration marks and...

Just picked up a new Summa S2 T160 with OPOS-CAM. Upgraded from an old vinyl express Q160. Does anyone here use a Summa for custom die cut stickers? I've previously used a Graphtec FC8600 that had dual positioning for perf cuts. I don't see anything like this on the Summa. The manual...

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...

Add a new model printer to flexisign So I am trying to get a Mimaki JV33 to print from my Flexi 8.1 software but that model is not in the dropdown box... any way to get the JV33 in the dropdown box?

I am trying to contour cut using the 4pt. registration marks. I go through the process of moving the laser through all 4 points using the d-pad on the cutter. Once I hit my 4th point, it says to replace knife to begin cutting. I click ok and once it "starts" it traces my contour cut with the...

Recently purchased a VJ 1324 Large format printer. Wanted to know if there was a way I could contour cut on my Graphtec Ce6000 60 cutter. It appears my flexi SAI only supports Ce7000 cutter. I have tried manually cut with a bombsight but I am off about 1mm on my cut. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Hey Guys I was wondering if anyone knows where to find directions on how to operate the print and cut function for the FC7000-75. I would most likely be using the HP FB700 for contour cut stickers and things like that. Thanks in advance!!

Hey all, Fairly new to the forum but have learned a lot here. I manage a printing company that brought in large format a few years ago. We've been growing and now have a need to make bumper stickers and labels, both contour cut and not, in small quantities. We are running a 60' Mutoh Falcon...

Hello, I've got a new setup than what I'm used to. I've used mutoh and roland printers, graphtec cutters, flexi, versacamm etc. We have just purchased a HP 260 and a Mimaki cg-160. Issue is with print and cut. I took an ink pen to some of the cuts so it may be easier to see them in the...

I have an sp540v and its a great printer, but yesterday I was contour cutting some decals and everything was going great until.., I pulled the media off the printer to weed it.... it didn't cut.... not even scratch..... I did a test cut and again the carriage was looking like it was cutting...

Hi. I`m new to this forum, and I`m norwegian, so excuse my english if it`s not flawless. I wonder how you guys usually calculate the extra cost of contour cutting? Example: When I price an order, I calculate the price from the total usage of material that`s needed for production. Ink...

We have a VP-540 and lately the thing has had a lot of problems finding the alignment marks leading to a "Cropmark Not Found" error message. Now some of these sheets contain around 50 or so printed decals which might sit for a day or less before being laminated and put back in the machine for...

hello, I just tried to contour cut with our roland gx-24. it does recognizes the three registration marks, (most people have trouble here) but then after it reads the 3rd it just comes back to origin and does nothing, it does the same if I send a blank page to contour cut, only reads the marks...

Hi, We have a Roland SOLJETproIII XC-540 and it randomly does not cut the contour lines. It will all print, then when it sets to cut, it just stops. No error messages, on the printer or in roland versaworks. We let it just sit for a while to see if it just needed to process it...nothing. We use...
