graphtec

Hi!

I own a couple of graphtecs and roland cutters. I have not owned a summa yet. I was reading on another post and many praises for the summa. I'm wondering what makes a Summa better then a Graphtec/Roland other then the customer service? Is it the speed? accuracy? ease of use? special functions...

I am in Search of "Stock Rollers" for a Graphtec FC5100-75. I've acquired a machine that did not include the roller bars that the roll of vinyl sits on when it feeds into the plotter. Since this is a legacy machine of Graphtec's they are not available any more from them. Email me here with...

I am having a new probelm with our Graphtec CE500-120. It is giving us a "Mark Error Cancel" trying to read the 2nd of 4 registration marks. We have printed and cut the exact same design on several occasions. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Bob

Does anyone know where I can get a Control Pad Relay Board Part# 792130706. Help in the right direction would be much appreciated. A website URL. Thanks

Hi guys. I just bought a used (almost new) CE5000-60. Have set it up, followed all instructions, but it still cuts HORRIBLY bad! I have posted 2 pics of my problem, that i cant seem to come past. I cut with original settings, and i use Signtcut pro as software with no altered settings. Do...

I recently got me FC8000 back from a service tech who replaced the motor. Since I have had the cutter back in my possession I can not get it to save my speed settings for any of my conditions, so I am forced to manually set the cutting speed after the machine finishes mark sensing for contour...

I am in the market for a cutter ideally 42" but could go for a 30". I live in NJ so anybody wanting to sell locally or ship it to me let me know. Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I would like to purchase a Graphtec and someone is selling their FC5100 for $1,000. I think that's a fair price, but what do you think? Thanks

I need the carriage that holds the knife holder. The screw thread is wallowed out and will not clamp down on the knife holder tight. I ordered one from Graphtec a few years ago for the same thing. They said thet are not carrying that part anymore. This plotter works great and I do not want to...

Hello! I just picked up a Graphtec FC7000MK2-100 to supplement the prints I shoot out of my Mimaki JV33. I've gotten my Graphtec to plot out items through CorelDraw x5 (with Cutting Master plugin) but I want to figure out how to Contour Cut!!! I've tried searching the forums on how to get...

I was wondering if anyone had a service manual for the Graphtec FC7000 or similar. I have to replace the main board and need the calibration manual etc. Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi there, New member. I've got a Graphtec FC7000-75 which has been working great for years. I just got a newer Macbook Pro with OSX Lion and CS6. Using the latest Cutting Master 2 v1.88. The computer and the cutter are connected, I can definitely cut, but the poll media feature is not...

Hi there, we have just updated all the Computers to MAC OS X Lion, we only have one Windows 7 Laptop left. Once the OS X Lion version of Cutting Master 2 was out, we install it for using it on Illustrator, we can cut and the program works great but it doesn't auto-measure the material. At...

I have located a used Graphtec FC7000-130 several states away and I am interested in purchasing it. The seller is willing to help package the plotter, but he is not a carpenter. My question is, what is the best way to ship these things? I'm guessing it weighs 130 lbs. Will UPS ship it? Is it...

Producing art work in Illustrator CS4 and or 5 Producing Reg Marks with the plug in Cutting Master 2 (Graphtec) Artwork sent to Onyx Rip Then to HP L25500 Trying to cut with my FC8000 Graphtec. It seems as though a lot of Graphtec users have this initial problem of the sensor not reading the...

Hello all, my FC7000 contour cuts great with matte material but when i use glossy material I get a mark scan error on the first registration mark. I'm using Corel Draw X5, cutting master 2, hpl25500, and a graphtec fc7000-75. Is there a special setting for glossy material. Thanks.

HI Folks, I have a question for y'all regarding the "origin" as it relates to the Graphtec. I am currently using the FC8000-130. I'm cutting sandblast resist. Before I cut the resist, I like to run the plotter with the pen over the design to make sure the design is what I want before cutting...

My Plotter has been freezing up either after or during it's cross cut routine or if I ask it to plot weed lines. Seems to cut normally(so far) but I'm having to cycle power after almost every plot. Ideas?

How does one cut a film that does not come with a backing material? I have a Graphtec FC8000 and I would like to cut a .0006" thick polycarbonate film with the cutter but the film does not come with a backing material. How do I work around this?
