Did you update your software? We are having the exact same issues with the power showing at 82w but after the laser runs a few jobs it stuggles to cut simple shapes on 3mm acrylic. Trotec are stumped...

Jacob,

A CO2 galvo does cut it - it cuts amazing as long as you have enough power to keep up with the speed. No point having all that speed when you don't have enough "umph" to cut through...

Hey all,

Yes our speedmarker CL is collecting dust. We started out with that machine and it worked for a while but was seriously under powered. 30w isn't powerful enough to cut card clean and...

Hi Darren,

Do you have either of these machines?

We were looking at getting the SCM2000 but got quotes around $48k which I thought was a lot for a Chinese machine?

You can't run multiple sheets at a time without residual smoke damage between the sheets - depends on the finish of the stock and the quality you would be happy sending out to your client. Cheap...

Either a Mimaki JV34, AGFA Anapurna H2500i or AGFA Jeti 1224

Thanks for the replies all.

The small tubes of glue won't work for us due to cost - we make multiples in the 10's 100's and 1000's so this wouldn't be commercially viable.

Darren/Glen, we...

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a glue or tape that leaves no residue. I am trying to stick clear acrylic to a printed paper backing so that you cannot see the glue at all once the two pieces at...

Hi Grant

Sorry didn't realise you were talking about engraving - I tested cutting. Just ran it and you are right - it doesn't work. What I did that combats this and shouldn't affect your final...

Have you made sure the illustrator document is in RGB and not CMYK? (File - Document Colour Mode - RGB) then reset your colours to what you want them to be - just did a test and works fine.

If I understand you correctly, you want multiple pieces on your bed and want to run different jobs at different times potentially in different positions? If that is correct, then I set-up a jig on my...

Set up two settings - one for your first cut with no engraving settings, then another for engrave then cut. Set the colours so that the first setting is using one colour, then the second setting is...

Just clean the honeycomb - jet wash it and it's clean. We cut card all day and don't suffer for any of that as we keep our bed clean. We have different honeycombs for different materials - one for...

Update - so the issue is still happening - we have a work around which is running at 50% power / 1.4 speed with 3 passes - painfully slow but it is getting the job done. We have noticed drop out on...

Gary, as we are cutting mirror acrylic - 100% power causes remelt and the pieces don't fall out - 75-80% is the sweet spot.

Bob, this have baffled them. They have been here all day and cannot...

Thanks all,

So the cable has been replaced already and plugged into a new port - problem still remains.

Changing the speed does work so running at 75% power and 0.8 speed it cuts out, same...

Hi guys -

Having an issue with out s400. We had the tube and power changed due to this issue, but it is still happening (just waiting on tech support and thought I'd ask just in case there is a...

A few of our latest goodies.

We just did a load of things for the BAFTA awards - so pretty much all the celebrities that attended would have seen and used our work there!

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the delay - been away on holidays!

Yes you are correct, my speedmarker is now redundant and is sitting here collecting dust. For the work we now produce, the machine just...

Thanks Mike

Robert, we used to do that - but as our business and reputation has grown, so has our clientele, therefore budget is generally not even a conversation with the majority of our clients....

I had to post on this one right - with a little thought and design flare the possibilities are endless!

Thanks Kyle - you legend! Welcome!

Hi all,

I am usually really good with typefaces - and I have this one in my library, but for the life of me can't remember what it is called and what the font isn't working on it. Driving me nuts...

Yup been there - had a client with over 500 invitations - Gold mirror - which was about 60-70 sheets of 1000x600 gold mirror and we ran the wrong proof as she made a final last minute change. That...
