Thanks for the ideas, one more question though; When you are layering this on the transfer tape how do you keep bubbles out? Is is ok to use app. fluid at this point when assembling? I know that if you get the backing that the vinyl comes on wet, it sux! Thanks again. Dude

Newbe question here; I have been putting muticolor decals on in steps. Like put the put the back color down and then the layer over the top. Is this correct? Is there a way to assemble a decal for quick application at the job site? Thanks all, Dude

Hello all, I have been putting decals on wet using "RAPIDTAC" and have had several occasions where bubbles under the vinyl are appearing days after the graphic has been applied. I first clean the surface with the "rapidtac" and then use it on both my vinyl and the surface. When I finish the job no bubbles and everything looks great, then I'll do an inspection days later and see small bubbles have formed under my graphic. Any suggestions? I thought maybe I did not clean the surface well enough..?? dunno.... Has anyone seen this before? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help! Dude

OK, so I am another who has found that using the serial port has solved my problems. Thanks for all the help!! I ended up using a Belkin part # N10117 USB ->DB9 conveter. Worked great, It has many options to configure in the driver. If you don't feel like waiting for the cabe off ebay the belkin works SWEET!! Good luck. ;D

I would also like to check to see if my chip is not seated properly. Ken could you please inform on the location and process to get at the chip. Thank you.

I just tried to cut my first somewhat large sign and had this problem. I have a Laser point 24 and am using my laptop with the USB that came with the machine. I am having identical issues to what has previously been described here. I just ordered the cable off e-bay, I hope that solves my problem. I have been running signblazer elements. Tried cutting some smaller signs with no problem. I am still unclear as to why changing to the serial port on the machine makes this issue go away. It sounds like there are quite a few eople with this problem. For the 4 bucks I'll try it!

It really dose not seem to be associated with any particular thing. It has happend when I have been working with text and graphics. Thanks again.

I have just installed Signblazer qnd keep getting a message "A fatal error has occured and signblazer has to close". The program then shuts down. Has anyone else even seen this or is it something to do with my computer? Thanks for the help.
