Hi. Does anyone know any tricks to get around this? Every couple of months I have a day where I will have trouble with the X axis motor and will get X position alarms over and over until it seems to work itself out. The problem is sometimes I can reload it 3 times and its back up and sometimes it seems like I have to reload it a 100 times. Is there any fix or trick short of replacing the motor?

We've got a Graphtec 7000-100 and it was working, now it won't turn on. When you plug it into the wall and flip the power switch, there is a double click like a relay engages and drops out, at the same time the display lights briefly and the power led lights and goes out and that's it. The power board was replaced with one of the last ones from Graphtec by one of the local repair companies. I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. Anybody have any idea's of what might be wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance to anybody who can help.

Hi can anyone tell me where to source parts for this model. It no longer is supplied by Graptec. I want to know the thickness of the Teflon cutting band under where the cutting takes place. I ordered some from Ebay of several thickness but the closest of what arrived seems slightly too thin measuring it with a micrometer. The new one measured 6.5 thou and a sample of what is on the cutter at present reads 9.5 thou Does anyone know what is the right thickness and where to get it?

So I order a new cut strip and blade for my plotter and I'm having a hard time adjusting it to cut. In some spots it doesn't cut through the tint but on other spots it cuts all the way through the liner? Why is it doing this??? Most of the time when it gets to a corner it doesn't cut that out. Any ideas?

?? Thick MIL plotter ?? security film
by Guest PraetorianGlass- 4 replies
- 1.9k views
Hey guys, what plotter/cutter do you suggest for 15 MIL to possibly 21 MIL security film? Also, if any standard plotter happens to work, are there suggested blades that can be swapped out in order to handle the thick cutting? The blade that must be used on these types of film is a steel blade so that the edges are not degraded. Please give me your feedback on what is is the most economical yet effective. Thanks

My plotter is inop and I really need to find someone that Knows how to repair Graphtec cutting plotters. I had someone attempt a board level repair, with no luck. (Not sure what they actually did?) Long Story...... Here's the Short Story: I was drawing some patterns with the pen in the carrier as I have done a hundred times before. The pinch rollers began to "eat'' the paper media. I immediately raised the rollers and had to push the carrier to the left to clear the obstruction. When I did, it gave an error alarm, I then turned off power switch. I unplugged it for over 24hrs and tried to reset (and had the board repair) but still does the following. When you flip …

We're selling our Graphtec FC8000-130. We've only had the machine for about 2 months - to be 100% honest, we bought 2 machines - a Graphtec and a Mimaki. In the end, we preferred the Mimaki for our particular application. If you like Graphtec, here's your chance to buy our practically new one for a great discount. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it was bought brand new from Advantage Sign Supply. Asking $4,999....that's $2,000 off MSRP!!! We still have the original box - like I said, there's really no difference between this and a brand new Graphtec. The machine is located in Philadelphia, PA - you're welcome to stop by for inspection and to watch it …

I posted in the graphtec forum, but no response because i dont think it gets many views. Graphtec FC-7000 does anyone know what is causing this noise? it does it while it cuts as well, just whenever its moving, i just took a video of when i loaded media though because the faster its moving the more noticeable it is. the plotter still works and cuts fine, but i would like to get it fixed before it wrecks something else. any info would be great, or even who i can call. Thanks. Dustin

The other day i noticed my plotter started to make a clunk.clack noise whenever it rolls left or right, obviously at slow speeds it is quiet, but when i load media and it does its quick pass to the end and back its VERY noticeable. Its definitely movement related and goes clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk as it rolls down the rail and back. i checked the 2 top rollers, they appear clean, am i missing something? belt? anyone have any insight would be great. Thanks. Dustin

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
