cutting

I am having issues when I try to print then laminate then cut. It took me a minute to figure out how to get the machine to read the register marks but now the cut is just off. About a half inch or so. Are there steps I should be following when cutting after lamination? Is there a specific...

Hey all! We don't usually do banners, and have never done one of this size before. We have a SwissQprint Impala 4 with roll-to-roll capability. The roll of material we have is 72" wide, and the thing we need to print is 24" wide. My argument was that we should just get material that's 24"...

Hi, I used to make designs and cut them on a cricut. Whenever I was trying to get the cutout perfectly designed(holes in the right place) i always experimented on some cheap paper. Now i m expecting a new roland bn2 and im not sure how to handle this. Seems like a waste to use expensive vynil...

So right now I'm cutting some Engine Turn vinyl for some Fire apparatus. Usually I have little issue with running it through a plotter, however, this time around its a rather small and tedious design. Sections are thin around an 1/8" to 1/16" wide, what type of settings do ya'll recommend. I can...

I'm running off the Illustrator plug-in for GoSign. I've added the registration marks, but cuts them like they are a part of the cut layer. It doesn't even try to search for them.

Greetings all. We've recently added flat bed cutting permissions to Onyx to give us the ability to tile long mural runs and cut on our Colex Sharpcut. Works exactly as we had hoped. My question is the Onyx barcode and what we need in order to scan at our Colex and automate our process even...

Its...one of those days I can't figure out why our T160 can't seem to stay in alignment for this small sticker job and hoping someone on here can tell me what I should be doing differently. I ran 100ft worth of stickers last week without any issues so Im pulling my hair out trying to figure...

As everyone else has alread pointed out, there appears to be shortages on different types of vinyl across the board! And as such, I had to resort to buying a 60" roll of some vinyl that I needed to complete an important job. I bought a 60" roll with the intentions of cutting it in half and...

Hi guys and gals. This is my first post, i was searching for info on google about a problem i'm having with the cutting head of a d60r and found this forum. The problem is that the blade is not moving down as soon as the vinyl starts to move so the blade is not cutting from the beggining of the...

We have started getting into the high volume yard sign market and we are have a difficult time finding the easiest and most efficient way to cut the standard 18"x24" or 12"x18" signs out. We have a wall mounted cutter with a huge ruler track but the blade is wobbly and inconsistent, we have huge...

Why does my Graphtec plotter say "off scale" but still ends up cutting my jobs? The cuts are ok. No major skewing. Side note: where am I supposed to position my blade? Inside the box or at the edge? Pictures attached.

I have designed in CorelDraw and printed/cut through Versaworks on multiple Rolands for 10 years. I started at a new shop this week. They have an HP latex 365 and a graphtec cutter. They have never had an in house designer, and have gotten Corel set up for me. They have always set up prints in...

Is this possible? In all previous RIPs I have used there has always an option to import to trim marks / bleed / media etc... just as you would when placing or importing a file onto Ai It appears that Caldera does not have this option available, meaning all files need to be resized / placed...

I had a smaller Graphtec before I would change the force in the middle of cutting, simply by pressing "Condition" on the plotter. Easy. Now with my FC 8600, when I press condition while it's cutting, nothing happens. Why??

Hi! im having this issue when i start to use the cutting mode. It looks like the cutting starts to moving and the end points don't match. The curious thing its not always do this kind of error. Some one has a clue of what happen with my machine? I really will appreciate any help. Here...

Using a Roland vp540, how can I cut a cookie stencil? The machine can cut vinyl but I'm not sure how much thicker it can cut. I cant use vinyl because it will stretch and distort the cutout so I was thinking something thicker but something that the 45 or 60-degree blade can cut?

Here's my setup: HP Latex 110 printing on PET backlit film media and cutting on a Graphtec FC-86000 cutter. I need to cut long rectangular sections approximately 16" x 96" in size. I had planned to perf cut them but I'm running into trouble separating them cleanly after cutting. It seems...

I could really use some help here..for 8 years I worked in signage, and my CO2 laser was my best friend. Recently however, I started working at a print shop. For cutting stacks they have large cutting machines that rely on measurements and square corners. But as far as finishing cuts, mostly for...
