Anagraph cutter

I'm in need of a supplier of anagraph cutter parts, specifically a teflon strip for an ae-75. Hopefully someone in the northeast. Apdevices, I believe who bought anagraph, has a minimum order they require, and I'm just looking for 1 strip, so really don't want to go with that option.

If any anagraph users have a website or phone # they use for parts or blades, regardless of location, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies.

Another question concerning the above cutter, anyone have a theory why when I have a 2" letter on screen selected, after the plot the letter is half the size, or 1"?

Your right.

Windows XP, Service Pack 1, signlab e6.1. Anagraph AE-75.

Used cutter, just hooking it up. It came with a floppy driver, anagraph designart express plotter driver. In signlab, there are a list of drivers, I have a roland, and that driver is checked next to its name, same as HPGL. There are two drivers for anagraph, I checked the express which is what I have. I never loaded the driver that came with it because it has an ancient copyright dating back to '96. I figure the drivers in signlab are up to date. I type in a normal letter in signlab, go to plot, and it cuts the letter perfectly, but it's half the size of the letter size I plotted.

I've searched the menu on the plotter, it has alot of functions, but none I think will help with this. I also have an email in with previous owner, but can only reach during business hours, which coincide with my day job.

I found this on a site for anagraph cutters. Not sure if I understand this, but sounds like it relates to my situation. Can anyone clarrify in simpler terms?

Size Variation Due To Resolution Settings:

Job sizes will vary depending of the program being used. This is due to the different Resolution set by the Driver of each program. To rectify, please contact the manufacturer of your program.

Sample scenario: The default resolution settings in ALL ANAgraph's plotter and in DesignArt is 1000 Dots Per Inch (DPI) or 39.37 Dots Per millimeter (DPmm). If a one inch square is to be plotted from DesignArt out to any ANAgraph's plotter, the output will be exactly 1 square inch. However, if you are using Flexisign, which has a 2540 DPI default resolution setting, plotting this job out to any ANAgraph's plotter will cause the output to be 2.54 times larger. (2540/1000 = 2.54 times larger).

Thanks,

George

 

I solved the problem. Here is a site to keep in my mind for Anagraph cutter users with drivers you'll need for their respected software.

How old is it? Are your rollers worn? Anagraph is a west coast operation I believe, maybe give them a call for more info. Also, always raise your carriage when not in use.
