die cut

I am sensing our shop will soon invest in a good plotter to cut stickers on, as we take on higher volume orders. For now we are rocking with the Roland VG-2 and VG-3 Printer/Cutters. After lots of hours of tests and trials, different blades and pressures, exploring and later abandoning "perf-cut...

Hi all, I just discovered this forum and is amazing the quality of advice you can get from members in here. I was wondering if anyone can guide me as I'm after a printer /cutter to make popcorn/sweets boxes but also to print and cut vinyl labels. I'm looking for a printer that can do a...

I cut a decent amount of sheets out on my ucjv300-160, blades still last me a decent amount of time as I only cut 1-2000 sheets per month, and some die-cut stickers. so most of my cutting is still just contour/kiss. The Summa initially sounds like the better option to me, mostly because so many...

Hi All, New to the sign business in the last year and getting terrible customer service help from Grimco where I bought my HP Latex 315. Phone calls and emails to both tech support and customer service routinely go unanswered. Just appalling. Alas, I am turning to the real experts (those here...

Hey Guys, Question for you all. I have a small sign shop in WV and have an in-house cutter but have always outsourced my prints mainly due to space restrictions at my location. I have a wholesale supplier for my intermediate vinyl prints but not for my cast stuff. (if you know of anybody...

Does anyone have any experience on perf cutting aka die cutting on the TrueVIS VG2 you can share? I’m wondering if it can cut through a vinyl backing and if it would be pretty effective.

I’m currently looking to do die cut stickers and I’m specifically looking at the Graphtec FC9000. Is this a good machine for die cutting? The quantities I’m trying to achieve would be about 250 qty per piece. The actual vinyl would print on HP latex then die cut on the FC9000. My questions...

I'm running HP Latex 360 and I'm printing decals and stickers. Typically they're small stickers about 4" x 5". I print on two types of vinyl. Orajet 3651M and Ritrama high tack intermediate vinyl. When I use their official ICC profile I downloaded from their website I notice graininess and...

I have been experimenting with making die cut stickers on our Roland VG 540 for a day, and am wondering if it is designed to do so. Here is a video I saw that peaked my interest but I can't find much else on the matter.

Hi guys. I haven't logged on in a while, so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. I had a question about die cut vinyls (non printable). I'm a graphic designer, and design, print, and sell stickers of all types. I purchased 20 or so rolls of HP700 die cut vinyl in 2014. It's now...

Hi guys, I have a xr-640 roland 2013, single owner. My issue started when performing PerfCutContours, on the right half side of the sheet (Control Panel side) stickers where cutting at the right force. On the left side maybe 13" in some stickers where cut not with the same force. The problem...

I am doing a partial wrap on the sides of a van and wanted to do a contour cut. It's not a complex CutContour, but it is about 123" long. Can my Graphtec FC8600 handle this job? I'm printing on a 54" roll, wish I can print side by side, but I cannot. Pictures attached.

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...

Hey guys! As much as I would like to get a Summa there are no distributors in my country. So I was going for a Graphtec FC8600 54", but dealer is offering a Roland GR 640 64" for USD $2k less. I know it may sound like an obvious one, a bigger machine for less money, but my only concern is if...

Hi all, I am interested in starting to make small vinyl decals and different sized (still small) die cuts. I've been looking online for different vinyl decal printers but I can only seem to find printers that look extremely cheap, or those that are way too big for my current needs. I plan to get...

I am looking to print directly to 4 x 8 sheets of corrugated plastic. I need some help with what printer I should choose for this application. I also need a diecutter to be able to cut out the images that I print on the corrugated plastic. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
