graphtec

Newb here to large format (screen print background) but we're putting together an innercity middle school print shop afterschool program. 100% committed to HP 115, but I'm wondering about opinions on the Print & Cut solution, and I'm not seeing any in the forum (and I'm betting somebody will...

Apologies for the lengthy post but I know there have been a few posts on the Y Position Error on Graphtec plotters from time to time and I wanted to share this hoping it may help some of you that encounter this problem. I feel your frustration! Good news is, your plotter might just be dirty and...

In Search of Sign Shop to buy. Looking for a shop going out of business or one looking to get rid of old equipment that is in good condition. Wanting to buy all the equipment and tools needed to start a successful sign shop. Hoping to find all tools and equipment in one place. Preferred...

I am in the process of pricing 54" plotters and just noticed that from Sign Warehouse the Q54 with LXi Master Plus is more expensive than an actual Graphtec FC8600-130 also with LXi Master Plus. How does this make any sense? Is the Q-Series not a Graphtec knock off? Shouldn't it be cheaper?

I have both ONXY and Flexi that I can use. Just want to strip cut after each row is cutcontour, is there a setting for this the be defined PerfCut, CutContour, etc... Never use CM3 or CM4 since we get good cuts from Onyx, but have some small policial stuff and be nice to not have to cut it all...

Our company just added a new plotter, a Summa S2 T140. Beautiful machine. However, I was running a Graphtech before with Cutting Master 4. CM4 had an option for a weed border and weed lines where available. However, the software that comes with the Summa, Winplot, doesn't seem to have that...

I'm using the Cutting Master 4 plugin in illustrator. I've figured out just about everything I need except for doing a test cut. I've found where to do it directly in Cutting Master, but I can't figure out how to do a test cut based on the pressure settings in the plugin. Any help would be awesome.

Lightly, but regularly, used Graphtec FC5100-100 42" plotter in good running condition for sale. Includes 5 blades, 3 pens, Floor Stand, Media Catch Basket, 2 Additional Media Racks, PHP-61 Loupe and Auto Registration Mark Sensor. Has been reliable and problem free since new. Works well...

Hi, I'm totally baffled by the replacement Teflon strips that Graphtec and Sign Warehouse (Vinyl Express) sell. They are totally flat, which has nothing to do with what the original plotters have (Q-100 similar to Graphtec F8600 & Q-54 similar to Graphtec F8000). The plotters have a thick piece...

Hey guys, I'm new here, I'm just starting out in the business and I'm trying to go independent. I'll be focusing, at least in the beginning, in high quality stickers, as a reference I look up to Sticker Mule's work. I'm decided for Latex, I'll be going for a HP 365 or 335 or 115 depending on...

Hey guys, we are looking to jump into a new cutter. Accuracy is obviously key, we make lots of contour cut stickers with tiny details cutout. I am looking into the big ones such as graphtec, summa, etc. There are a lot of cheaper options such as a titan from us cutter. I am really liking the...

I cautiously post, hoping that a link to our auction is OK: Express Graphics Relocation / Merger Surplus Auction We have a lot of good stuff, and a good story ... of merging and purging and all of that. We are a small shop, with a big heart. We have good old grommet machines that we bought...

Graphtec FC8000 cutting unaccurately Does anyone know how I adjust my settings on my FC8000 I had it perfectly fine but I recently had my machine repaired from graphtec as the cutter was loose but now when I cut decals out using registration marks the decals had uneven sides.(See pics) The...

Looking for a FC7000-75 cam sensor that broke. Called Graphtec of America ,but no luck . Dose anybody know where I can buy a sensor for a 30 in plotter ? Thank you in advance.

Hello all we have a FC8000-130 which has been working great for cutting. But we just put a HP365 in our location and would like to do contour cuts. We are using the Caldera software that is supposed to be a seamless marriage from printing to cutting which up to this point seams to be but when we...

Hi everyone, Just a quick question, I use my Graphtec FC8000 for cutting around my Motocross templates but when the machine comes to finish its cut the shapes haven't joined the best from when the blade started and finished the cut but only very little. How would I improve this? Simple...

Okay, Currently we run a Graphtec for doing our cut vinyl and print and cut material as well. I have read through some of the posts regarding Summa but wanted some feedback from people who have switched from Graphtec to Summa and how they like the Summa. Also would like to hear from anyone that...
