When I ordered Ronan last time they too arrived looking like that, warped and paint running out. I have been using Ronan for about 30 years now, but they messed up their paint. Several of the cans they sent me are pretty much unusable , they would not skin over, instead they turn into a huge messy chewing gum like paste. Will not buy it again.

It's kinda of funny how I found your channel. I'm coming from the laser world and recently got interested in vinyl stickers and signs. Naturally, I thought why not use my laser? It's been impossible for me to find a PVC free vinyl that is laser safe. There are of course HTV that are laser safe, but I've not found any sticker vinyl. Do you know of any laser safe sticker vinyl and have you thought about using your laser to cut vinyl? I'm just getting started with my side business, but vinyl stickers seem like a good item to offer and also a way to accentuate some of my laser projects. I've interested to see your growth and how you apply your years of expertise to this new market. Best Jeff

I wish I could buy you a beer. This is the best video ever. Thanks so much for sharing ...

Can you recommend a 100-200usd vinyl cutter for sign making? Im really new to this.

Thanks very much my good man - very helpful for my one man shop here in Northern Canada.

What size cutter is best to have?

I thought I followed the instructions but my blade holder doesn't move when I switch between users. Did I miss a step?

When are you Americans going to adopt the metric system SIGH ....🤔

Great video thanks a lot!

Good stuff

I’ve used and mastered all of the programs you mentioned. Started with Adobe Photoshop in 96 in Jamaica then Corel In 98 and moved on to Flexi and the rest of the Adobe Suite. I migrated to the recently and I don’t even know where to start getting customers. So I’m thinking to design first and then eventually open a sign shop

Just ordered CE8000-60 for my 12 yr old son 🤞🏾

hi, I use Ce-6000-60 plus. wavy cut problem. Is there a potential problem with this carriage? I have changed the new cutting strip & blade but the wavy problem is still there

Hi. Which laser is that?

40 years later - relearn open source tools…. Cheers!

I have a Graphtec Plotter. The pen that comes with the plotter is very expensive and dries out quickly. Where do I get the felt tip pen in your video?

Commercial properties rent for $8-$10k/mo... or sell for $1M+ here, even for tiny spots in terrible locations. Damn near impossible

Hi, I need to replace the sensor registration mark, but I can't find a video tutorial on how to disassemble, install, and replace it. Can you help me by providing a video tutorial? Thanks.

why not install like with wood squeegee i use it all the time

Gerber makes outstanding hardware. These machines are built to last. They are very well engineered. I currently work for a fella in Alabama who's been in business for 40 years and he's been using Gerber products since they hit the market. He first started out with Gerber's Omega software suite and has continued to use it all these years. We currently use Gerber's Sabre 408 CNC router for big projects and more recently we just dusted off our Edge 2 printer that's been sitting for 15 years, looking to add it back to the workspace. We have a set of Mimaki machines for large format 54" materials, but the cost in keeping inventory and the losses in waste using those machines is becoming problematic. We decided to get the Edge down and get it back up and running so we can handle smaller projects with ease, negating the need for lamination and provide better products to customers faster and cheaper than we're able to do right now. For what this shop does these days, the Edge 2 and accompanying Envision plotter is more economical and far easier to use for the majority of our work, especially since boss loves Gerber's software and is super proficient with it. I'm super excited to see it in action. I've only been here for 5 years, so I've never seen these machines working. Right now we have issues getting the machine to communicate with our workstations. The machine we're using has the correct ECP compatible parallel port and we have the correct cable for the machine, but we keep running into a driver not found error. On top of that, the printer head needs to be replaced. The printer is currently only printing about 8 inches wide instead of the full 11.3 inches. Aside from the dead space in the head, it's working just fine at least from what I could tell from the built in print test the machine has.

There is a CMOS button battery, right?

bro you gotta get some knee pads , my knees hurt for you! great job!

Are you using inkscape and SB?

I'm trying to get that same cutter working with Easy Cut Studio 6. I got the same Keyspan USA-19HS adaptor, installed the driver and found it's on hub 0001. I set the com port to 1 and I can send it to the cutter. It says file sent but the cutter doesn't respond. Got any quick tips for me?

Good info. We made due with a Cricut for our custom shirts for the last 6 years and it finally died on us. Finally upgraded today, looking forward to a more commercial quality cutter.

I mostly print on 3M materials, but I've recently got into creating my own color and print profiles. It's been a game changer, because sometime manufacturer profiles are overkill. As far as profiling for color, get yourself some really good calibration tools.

You talked too much!

This isn't really a video about alignment. From what I can tell there is no way to align this particular machine's height from left to right side other than reshaping the plastic spacer under the teflon with sandpaper. They come from the factory out of alignment and only get worse. Adjusting the carriage won't make a difference as it will still be off the same distance on each side as the frame is the the 'aligned' carriage.

Agreed, work/life balance is key. Especially in an industry like the sign industry.

Our company was fixing to spend a substantial amount with them but are now going to go another direction. Thank you for sharing your experience.

GREAT JOB! Thank you

looks awesome

I have watched a couple of your videos and will subscribe! I like your style, especially that you have Cocoon fit over sunglasses like mine. My wife & I have a small printshop and we added wide format a couple of yrs ago. We are in our 70's and both have survived major health issues, so we are now ready to learn and grow. We like the sign business, but the learning curve is long. Thanks for you help.

I have the same plotter. I'll be trying to get it to work tomorrow using a parallel to usb adaptor. Thanks for making this video, it's very helpful!

Hey! I’m so interested it in the gel silicone resin. I want logos of the Military branches how can I send you the picture?? Please let me know

Hey! Do you do logos with the gel silicone resin?? I live in Belle Chasse and I’m so interested it. How can I send you the picture

Where do you get your vinyl at?

Where do you get your vinyl from?

What type of printer is that please?

I appreciate your explication but if you could show us how it works and cut , examples for everything you try to present to us.

Do you transfer these with tranfer paper?

Gotta add to this. I have the graphtec FC7000 MK2-130 similar issue but when I see you move the head with belt on it seems to run pretty smooth along the track. I'm thinking I have a motor issue? Does your cutter head move pretty freely or does it have a type of clicking? Or resistance? The Y motor shaft seems to have a tick inside but the X motor moves freely

RDS website seems to be gone can i get this stuff anywhere else?

If you treat this like drywall and cut one side fold and cut the other side it's way easier than trying to snap it. I'm actually not sure why you're doing that

Screw propane, get a pellet stove...

Don't rent if you don't have to... Build!! Even a home depot shed, as big as you can get or put on your lot.

Perfict practical Cut thanks.

How did you replicate the Bentley graphic?

Do you still sell vinyl decals through etsy like you do for a long time? Thx

New follower, hey have you used a Mimaki plotter??
