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?

I have no idea what is wrong. I spent all today on the phone with graphtec and Hp and no luck. I print using an hp l25500 and then cut it with a Graphtec Fc8000-160. The cut on the left and right side of the material is correct and the center is off. I tried adjusting the pressure of the...

I have a Graphtec 8000 and am having trouble getting it to complete an entire project. I set the knife pressure with and then begin cutting and it starts fine, but after a couple feet of material the blade no longer is cutting through the vinyl. The blade is new too. Any suggestions??

Hey Gang... Having a GIGANTIC problem with my FC7000MK2-130. Came into the shop as I usually do on a Saturday and found that the Cross-Cutter was engaged. I don't know if anyone else played with the unit while I was away but now I can't get the blade to disengage so that the cutter can resume...

Does anyone know how to reset Graphtec plotter to factory defaults?

I am going to buy my first cutter next week. These two machines seem very similar, and I'm sitting on the fence. I would like some feedback from people who have uesd both. Good and / or bad. Thank you.

Anyone know if the CE-5000 has a setting to return to after the power goes out. I was in the middle of a job/plotting and lost all power. Wondering if there is a setting on the plotter that might returned to the spooled job at the point of power loss. Thanks- Kevin SignWriteHere

Has anyone ever sent a file to be contour cut by a your graphtec and instead of reading the registration marks it just cuts a several small digits and quits? I have a new fc8000 that I have been struggling with to do contour cuts. I print with Mutoh 1304 and RIP with Wasatch. After struggling...
