Looks great.

Go for it if it's a good price, just make sure to get some test cuts, preferably one of your own designs. That way you will know it will do exactly what you need. I typically limit my smallest text cuts to 1/3 of an inch on large orders. The Graphtec will cut much smaller, but, weeding out the insides of letters on anything smaller isn't worth my time. My Graphtec CE6000 works great with my mac. I use Adobe Illustrator CC and the Graphtec Cutting Master 3 plug-in.

If you want to do license plates make sure the printer you choose can support 8.5" x 14" paper. I imagine most would, but it is something to consider.

Is there not a reliable auto backup utility for Windows. My Mac has time machine built in and it constantly does automatic backups all through out the day. I also manually backup to a portable drive every month or so in case i loose my main backup, that way i would not loose all of my files.

I use Rapid Tac for cast, and Rapid Tac 2 for calendered vinyl and or cast in cold weather. I also had some splash application fluid but didn't have great luck with it. I do intend to try it again as i still have some concentrate of it. I wish USCutter would sell Rapid Tac products, guess i will send another email asking for it.

If you get another external backup to use along with your online service i would look for an external drive with at least 2 HDD's in a RAID 1 configuration. That way if 1 drive dies, at least you have an exact duplicate on site.

I use Rapid Tac's rapid Rapid Remover for the adhesive.

RTape at65 works well when I use clear tape with 651.

If you order 631 don't forget to order the HT55 transfer tape. That will save you headaches later.

I have not used this but USCutter sells it. http://www.uscutter.com/index/page/product/product_id/1961d/category/106/category_chain/10,106/product_name/Creative+Films+Prime+

Awesome job! Looks great!

You are prefeeding your vinyl right? Don't let the cutter pull from the roll, instead, roll enough vinyl out for your design and then a little bit extra and let it hang between the vinyl roll and back of the cutter. Pulling from the roll could eventually damage your cutter. You do also have your grit rollers locked down over the locations marked on the machine also right?

Those look good. Nice work.

Awesome order Wildgoose!

I could see having problems with the cutters equipped with the cheap emulation chips. My CE6000-60 came with a 10ft usb cable, and the 16' has worked great as far as i can tell. I did start having issues a few days ago with the Graphtec loosing pressure as it cuts. Cutting strip was good, blades and blade holder good, cutter resets did not fix issue. I didn't think about the longer cable possibly being the problem... Thanks for reminding me, if it happens again i will definitely check that off the troubleshooting list next time. I had to break down and borrow a Windows laptop to update my cutters firmware and that seemed to fix the issue. Windows 8.... that was an entirely different can of worms....

I can not speak for the titan but this cable has worked great with my Graphtec. It's 16'. Its a good deal if you have Amazon Prime. http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-USB-2-0-High-Speed-Gold-Plated/dp/B001MSZBNA/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1412786951&sr=1-10

PM sent. I agree with busterbay. The graphic could use a bit of cleaning up.

Did you find a replacement Jay? Are you going to be able to get your QE60 working again or is it dead?

Can you post the graphic so we can see the weeding difficulty? I bet your going to get suggestions to get it printed. haha

Thats an awesome idea for gift certificates. Way better than a piece of paper or card stock.

Why not just buy it? You sell a couple families and its paid for.... http://www.myvinyldesigner.com/Products/stick-figure-plus-download.aspx

Sounds pretty awesome. I have not been following it at all. I know i got about 20+ email leading up to the conference though. haha

No problem.
