  1. also post a current picture of a nozzle check  - most dtg that people on here have trouble with heads clogging even when used all the time so any potential buyer would want to see the condition of the heads with a nozzle check pic

  2. great plotter and well worth getting a dedicated computer just for that plotter - I have owned several of them but not since I had windows 10.  the above suggestions are right on point but just for kicks I would try the ce5000 drivers also as the ce series I have noticed work with the same drivers up until after the ce6000 series - in my experience - if that doesn't work a cheap older computer works great to solve the issue - congrats on the great acquisition 

     


  3. We ah e members that are proficient in ai that can hopefully shed some light on this, being a vector program cutstudio should be easy to verify size before plotting.   
    uscutter sells Roland lottery that personally I think finds registration marks better than any other plotter when contour cutting as skeeter said a lot of our old timers use graphtec for the fine detail work.  Each has their strengths. Hopefully one of our ai gurus chimes in soon 


  4. this is magnified 60x on one I broke - it happened only once because I make sure to start with too little blade - this one got dropped.  the cleancut blades are made with a finer grained carbide which is why they last longer but the trade off is they are a little more brittle.  I think in 8 years of using them this is the only one I broke.  I personally couldn't tell it without the microscope attachment on my phone

  5. use the absolute minimum amount of blade exposure possible for the least drag, slow the plotter way down and hopefully you have not messed with the pressure roller adjustments since you purchased the plotter.  


  6. a good unit like Royal Sovereign is going to be expensive - especially ones with heat assist.  I used a Daige for years which is a cold roller and you will have some silvering for a couple of hours but worked great and had 2 of them over the 7 years I did printing with the roland printers
