perf 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...

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...

Hello, we are printing on Roland and cutting on a Summa. When cutting nested jobs the order it cuts is so random it causes issues when perf / flex cutting. In general the flex cut feature cuts random. We would prefer it cut in the same order as our Rolands. Is there a setting that forces cuts to...

I'm having trouble with perf/flex cuts on my Graphtec 8600. My kiss cuts are pretty much fine - they're off by maybe 1/64 inch on the x axis and I can work around that for now. On the exact same file, though, my perf cuts are off by almost 3/16" on the x axis. I have a picture attached if that...

Hello Looking for a piece of workflow advice. I am using VersaWorks with a VS-300i and now with GR-420 as well connected to the same PC/VW. I have a proprietary SW which generates PDF files that I print (using nested jobs) and contour cut in VW with VS-300i. I plan to remove the printed and...

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...

So, I've been contour cutting and perf cutting some new prints. Everything cuts fine until I get to the perf cut. Within Cutting Master 3, I select "Software Perforation" and "Style 7". As soon as I send the job, the software switches it to "Style 5". No matter what style I select in the...

Hello all, I am the new owner of a Mutoh 1300 plotter an was looking for some help with perf cutting. I am running FelxiSign & Print 12. I have the normal contour cutting down just fine but am running into info on how to setup for a perf cut. I know I will have to add an additional cut line...

Hey I just went through a Roland video showing how to create a contour cut and perf cut (for AI) but I am working of Flexi. I have successfully created a Contour cut & perf cut lines, but am unable to change the cut settings for each separately. When I select the separate lines under driver...
