We are printing onto Class 2 reflective vinyl.
The problem is when we try to cut it the plotter won't read the barcode.
We have tried covering the barcode with matte laminate and covering the plotter to reduce any direct light reflecting off the stock.
Sadly neither of these options work.

Selling my Mutoh valuejet 1204 (that needs a new print head since it sat for most of this year while I was out of the country and I won’t be using it anymore) along with the vinyl express q54 cutter.
Comes with computer and monitor that has Flexi and production manager.
Comes with scanner as well.
Need help in trying to finalize file(s) to print our first snowmobile hood and tunnel graphics. I am at the point of needing to get this done and willing to pay set it up for nested printing within Illustrator or allow Flexi to do the nesting. The purchased template layout is too wide for the...
I’ve always used Flexi. I’d like to get some options if I should switch to Onyx and why.
I’ve heard it’s the better rip but I don’t know why. I’ve tried the trial version a couple times and it doesn’t seem much different or easier to use.
Has anyone here had any issues with SAI software printing out files at a smaller size?
We have a HP 365 Latex printer, use AI and Photoshop to design/edit files, then SAI Production Manager and Flexi to print them. I have noticed a while ago that prints for some reason tend to be 1/8" smaller...
Windows PC, SAI HP Flexi 21 for HP Latex 115 54 inch printer cutter combo
I am stuck and so frustrated. I am trying print and install a wall mural on a 15 foot long wall. It is our first wall, so I am sure that is part of it.
The customer sent an AI file 260mb and has some colors that do...
Hi,
I am having an issue with my Graphtec plotter. I am trying to make 24-inch signage fit 2 jobs to the 48-inch roll to cut both signs and not waste vinyl. Unfortunately, every time I use Flexi to send the job to the plotter, it does not cut the full border on the left side. It has plenty of...
Recently I installed FLEXI22 to work with my Roland printer, and HP 64 Cutter.
While trying to install and connect the HP64 cutter, first I noticed that it wasn't even connecting to the computer - drivers had to be updated which I managed to get from the SUMMA website...
So im just wondering if anyone knows a way of merging two contour cuts on production manager.
For some reason my file will split it up into 2 line items and then only cut one of the 2. The machine is set up to cut both but will just cut one or the other.
I attached a photo to show what I mean by...
Hello All,
I am having a frustrating issue with trying to get color bars to print on either side of my sandwich print image thru Flexi. I can select the option, I can see them in the preview but they don't print on any layer.
I am starting to guess that this is one of those things that is just...
I am running a new to me HP315 with less than a 1000k sqm run through it using Flexi 22 print and cut. I have been running tests to make sure it's printing the colors I need with the appropriate profile. Printed one row of decals on calendared vinyl and that came out perfect. Continued on and...
Hi! I work mainly on Illustrator, but now do contour cut stickers on flexi and an HP 64 Cutter. Is there a way to take a pre-existing vector shape in flexi and give it contour cut properties? I ask because the Contour Cut filter on flexi gives way too many anchor points, and Flexi's Reduce...
I am really stupid when it comes to tiling out jobs for walls with corners. My brain just cant think straight when there is a mural that needs to go around a corner or double back. I have learned to leave 2" bleed on all sides and to overlap corners with 2". My problem is the math, I get so...

Im using SAI flexi RIP and HP Latex 315 printer.

Hey guys,
This is driving me nuts. I have my artwork done and put a cut box around it with a .02 radius on the corners. Everything looks perfect and checks out but when I open in in production manager and then send it to the plotter (hp branded summa, then again to my big summa T series) the...
I have a 24 Inch Wide roll of this Holographic vinyl material. I covered the senor under the pinch rollers to make the machine think it's filling in the width. How can I set the media on the machine to recognize its shorter and also to get it to stop saying undefined media?
When the guy came to set up flexi he had this image and printed it. We asked for the color profiles and he sent the image and nothing else. I can not for the life of me get my printer to print these colors. Even when I saved that pink and made it a color when I hit soft print it was not that...
So, I upgraded to Flexi 21 from 19 and can't figure this out. My print/cuts on Opus and Opus Extra mode for some reason comes out 15/16" off the actual cut path. Flexi Tech support can't even figure it out they blame summa lol?. I upgraded on my cutter the firmware to the latest. Printer is a...
