Can i keep using our old graphtec?

[csudman]

We have an older 30 inch cutter. Just ordered our hp260. Our plotter doesn't have optical registration. Is there a way to manually set up the machine to use the registration marks from onyx?

Thanks.

Manual registration marks in the software and, unless you have incredible eyesight or your elderly Graphtec has a built-in laser pen, a bomb sight device, which momentarily replaces the blade holder for registration, will work just fine.

This sort of manual system has been in use long before the advent of optical registration mark sensing.

Yes, absolutely you can. Its hard to explain, so I drew a quick diagram...

Hi, i'm piggy-backing on the original post. Thanks for the info. I'm attempting to do colored stickers also.
