plotter

Hi all, I’m based in South Africa and I’m currently looking at purchasing a new cutting machine for my window frosting business, but I have a few questions. The two ranges I’m looking at are the V-series V-1660 and the V Smart series V3-1660 (http://am.co.za/plotter) The only difference...

We recently started cutting 2mil cast vinyl for one color designs, instead of wasting ink printing. Last week, we had to change the 60 degree blade as it had become severely dull (we thought the blade would last longer than 2 months, but we have been cutting 6mil vinyl a lot so perhaps that...

Hi, we are doing some circuit work and need to pen plot sheets 3" small but as long as 120". I have found various plotters that take a pen tool, that are at 8' max in lengths. Can anyone suggest a good plotter/cutter, that can use a pen tool that can roll paper as a media larger than 120"...

Hello, I'm new in this fantastic forum, so I'm not sure whether I'm writing in the correct place. I've signed up to try and find a solution to a big problem I have with my Roland VS 640. I hope someone out there will be so kind as to help me. It all started with a banning in blue and red...

New! Summa S2 T SERIES T75 30" plotter - Ready to ship! Hi guys, I was going to expand my business and open up another location, but things didn't work out (overall investment cost more than anticipated). So now I've got an extra plotter for sale (along with some other equipment which I'll...

Have a vinyl cutter but no distinctive markings in it. When I turn it on it comes up with sign wizard 2005. I have a serial to USB for it. I need to find a driver and a program for cutting. Any info or assistance is appreciated

We have had an Graphtec FC4100-100 for over 8 years. In all the time I have worked with it, I have rarely encountered any problems that could not be easily solved, but last week a new problem appeared and we have been unable to fix it. The plotter no longer cuts anything correctly. It does not...

I recently watched a video made by one of my local competitors on how blazing fast his plotter is. He has a Summa and claims it its the fastest plotter... and granted, it was fast. It made me think..."Hmm, I have no idea how fast my plotter really is, I should try it out". I have a Graphtec...

Ok, so after a number of other issues have been resolved, we have another one that hopefully is an easy fix. We have 4 (soon to be 5 again) computers, of which 4 of them are cut/print stations. We have one machine that is connected to our Edge 1, our Envision, and our Fastrack 500. We can...

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...

Hey guys, I've been looking for a fair bit now and haven't found a product that works well for me - and that I can get in Canada. I'm looking for a material I can cut on my Mimaki CG-130SRll that can be used as a reusable stencil. A thin, plastic type material that would be sturdy enough for...

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

We are running Flexi for the rip & a graphtek 8000-130 My settings got reset somehow! & not on every turn of a letter it leaves a little hangy piece, very small but very obvious. I had this happen years ago and remember it was some setting, but after 3 hours, I figured I would see how a post...

Has anyone upgraded from the original S Series Tangential cutter? Is the upgrade worth it. I'm looking to either find a used S Class or looking at the new S2? Is the performance difference worth not going with the older model. I under stand the differences of used vs. new but was wondering how...

Hey Guys! I have a Mimaki CG130-SRII plotter and have been having some issues lately. When I go to cut a line of text, regardless of the font or size, the blade will lift up for a bit during the first letter or two and come back down part way through the text or letter. At first I thought this...

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

Looking to sell our Sign Making Equipment and supplies ASAP! Closing our shop to team up with another local sign shop and need to sell off our equipment. It is best that buyer is local for pickup due to the weight of the machines. (1) Mutoh Falcon Outdoor 62" Ultra Eco Solvent Inks with take up...

Is there a free plugin to be able to cut straight from Illustrator to a Graphtec FC7000 plotter? Any advice or info would be helpful...... thanks!
