I'm still around. I sold it and bought a graphite.

It's like when you touch aluminum, you get black all over your hands...hard to explain. When they blade holder comes in contact with the vinyl during cutting, it leaves some black ish residue on the vinyl. It does rub off but its something I would rather not deal with. (Yes I have cleaned it) Cutter is LaserPoint II

something someone drew by hand. I am having trouble doing it, I'm not so great at it. Can anyone help me here? Much appreciated!

All I know is its supposed to be an outline of a car. Can anyone help or not?

Why not?

Not kidding. A customer drew it up and he wants decals. I can't vectorized it.

How do you find the firmware version? I thought it would show when you turn the plotter on but it say V6.10 and I know that's not firmware... I cannot find out how to tell in the manual. CE5000-60

I tried but it tells me "bad firmware" when I try to update. Followed instructions to a t. I got nervous thinking I bricked the plotter but it works fine when I shut it off and turn it back on.

That's what I thought, but on the graphtec website the latest firmware version is 3.8 that just came out in December 2012. It adds support for the CE6000 and fixes a bug. It's not that I NEED to update but I would want to if I have an old version.

I did a job today for my mothers salon. Before I tell you what I charged, I want to know what you would charge. To put things into perspective, each window is 36 inches wide. The j and h are both ~43 inches tall.

It was my moms business which she is 1/3 owner with my brother and another hair dresser. It wasn't personal, it was business.

Well it seems I was right in line with what you would charge. I charged them $160 total.

You need to CALL Oracal to get the book for free. Ask and you shall receive. I called and they said they would send one, I didn't get it so I called back and they sent me one with samples as well.

What would your install fee be? It took me about 2 hours.

I use PayAnywhere. Great customer service, lowest rates, and quick transfer to your bank account.

Don't mind Bieber in the video, its a joke video. Anyway when cutting I do give the roll some slack in the back but it just rolls back up by itself, and this is what happens. As you can hear in the video, the vinyl roll jumps right off the rollers in the back when feeding. Speed is at 30.

In the morning I will take them off, maybe they are throwing the balance off and taking back my slack!

Those didn't need adjusting, I'm talking about the ones you put on each side of the roll. The ones with the thumb screws.

They are set farthest apart. They roll but they definitely do not roll as smooth as the ones on my LP II. I have tried placing the stoppers closer and further away from the sides of the roll.

That's the roll of vinyl jump off the rollers.

Lol no, it's sitting on top of the rollers just like the setup on my LP II.

Hopefully this thread will help others with both the 6000 and 5000.

Its not in the standard menu, you have to access it by holding the down arrow while powering up the cutter. Thats why its "Special" lol

Found it, the INT. B is the setting, it showed "0.08" and I changed it to "Outside"

I do see that in the manual, however I don't know how to get to the setting. I am not seeeing it anywhere. I am looking at a menu tree as well.
