Just got a Graphtec FC7000MK 2-60 cutter and need help with settings and software.

I will be using it to cut t-shirt vinyl and I have loaded
the vinyl media and have got as far as settings for condition 1.

Can someone give me an idea of force, speed, quality and offset settings I need for hot flex? My cutter pen is about 2mm, is this ok? Blade type is a CB09UA-2, I am worried its not at correct angle as not clear in manual.

I have illustrator CS3 with Cutting Master 2 plugin, I have written some basic text in illy and have gone to file>cut/plot, from there I presume I just mirror it and hit send to complete job?

Any help on settings and software would be massively appreciated as a plotter virgin. :o ]]> Vinyl Cutters (Plotters) and Transfers spamula http://www.t-shirtforums.com/vinyl-cutters-plotters-transfers/t102354.html Beanie http://www.t-shirtforums.com/general-t-shirt-buying-discussion/t102352.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:48:40 GMT Looking for a company who sells great quality beanies?

I noticed that after a head cleaning the ink was not being pumped out of the capping station. I can pull the ink out with a syringe and I disassembled and cleaned the capping station and it is not clogged.
It was a new capping station and print head, it only lasted for about 100 shirts.

I am interested in buying funny clip art pictures (vector art) like Star****s,preferably online (ebay or something similar)

Like any of the graphics at T-shirts, T shirts, Tshirts and Tees - Funny tshirts, Offensive tshirts, Hip Hop tshirts & Music Tshirts, i know a lot of places that use the same graphics, just don't know where they get it from.

in my country we don't care much about the legal side of this stuff, so no problemos there.

I saw a disk jam packed with these kind of clip arts once on ebay, didn't buy it and i'm regretting it every day.

Any help will be welcomed,

thanking you in advance,

I had two pics I cropped down to 4.3"x4.3" and put into a 8.5x11 file.

When I went to print the center image box was checked so left it (doesn't matter if its unchecked tho)

So I had two pics one on top of the other and they did not come close to the edges but yet still get this message.

Any ideas on why ?

Thanks
