  1. How long do you keep vehicles in your shop after a wrap/decals are installed

    I usually let them go once they are done if I have to. I can only think on cold wintery days, maybe a complex logo that needed to be put down wet would need time to dry, but only an hour or two. Never have had any customers return with any issues, so it must be OK.
  2. is My gerber LE dead? Cant print anymore, video inside.

    If memory serves on 1 card there was a red or orange conector that seemed loose on mine , so I just gave it a bit of a nudge to make sure it was seated properly...can't say for sure if it worked but the beeping stopped and I could continue working on the printer.
  3. is My gerber LE dead? Cant print anymore, video inside.

    I sometimes get the beeping sound and it won't print at all, but found that not only re seating the cards worked but also ( ground yourself) I pushed any items on the cards that looked plugged in and sometimes that solved the problem as well.
  4. Is my pricing too high for printed vinyl?

    The cost of 2ml wrap material with laminate is about $2.00 a sq ft ( Canada) That also does not include all the waste as you can't print 54"...so maybe it works out to 2.10 a sq ft at most.... Then you have ink and God forbid something go wrong during the print (which you know will on a job...
  5. Signlab Changes Colors

    MY version 8 sometimes changes the colours, but not always. Have never really figured out why it happens, but I also run Flexi so I send files across the network and do what I need in there. It seems to like to change white backgrounds to yellow quite a bit too
  6. Excellent vehicle graphics

    Oh I have to add that the handyman looks like he took someone else's bag sign and taped his sharpie marker phone number at the bottom
  7. Excellent vehicle graphics

    Went out this morning to pick up some ACM and saw these two vehicles on my short journey. The First pic had to be done by the owner himself or someone very green. Not sure you can see it in the pic but the lettering was put over the window cutouts and they are resting right over the grooves...
  8. How to turn off sign blank in Flexi 21

    Thank you...I never would have even thought to look in there.

    Other franchisees will see your sign and want one for themselves...get ready!!
  10. How to turn off sign blank in Flexi 21

    I have looked everywhere but just can't seem to find out how to get rid of the canvas or sign blank. I never had it on the older version and sometimes it just gets in the way. I probably don't know what they call it to find a menu item to turn it off. Any idea?
  11. Question Weed border in Flexi 21?

    I don't know if that option would work properly on a print and cut file...the weed border adds .1 or whatever is set around the graphic.... Would not the plotter incorperate that extra measurement when cutting and mis cut the file?
  12. Vinyl by the yard

    It can be a real beatch to get off the backing paper...in fact after it has been cut, if they sit too long you can virtually peel the premask off and not pull a single letter with it. You need to use high tac premask and if you have issues removing it I found if you put it in the freezer for 30...
  13. Software Help Is anyone having Adobe Type 1 Font issues with Flexi 21?

    I know in Signlab even if you have the fonts loaded in windows, that you still need to install them in Signlab. I was just looking at my Flexi 21 but don't see anywhere to load fonts....how about putting the fonts in the same directory as the ones Flexi takes them from?
  14. Oracal 651 vinyl

    These days a lot of companies lease their vehicles, so cast as far as lettering is not really needed. Printing is a whole other ball game
  15. Have to reboot computer as info won't send out for print

    This is not my problem but a friends who just bought his first printer. I am called to help him through issues. I found more than a few times while trying to send out jobs for print and jobs for cutting that the info never leaves the computer. Both machines are hooked up via USB. I found...
  16. Suggestions When did this happen............................................. ??

    Last week I needed a roll of banner tape that I used to pay $19.00 for 1" 36 yards, Now $29.00 52% increase
  17. Opinions on JV100-160

    also if you use Flexi there is only 1 profile available.
  18. Profiles for JV300-130 Plus

    Flexi technical rep says that they do not make profiles and that they are made for them by the vinyl manufacturers. Not sure if that is factual.
  19. Profiles for JV300-130 Plus

    Is it a new printer form Mimaki? I ask as my screen printer bought the new jv100 and there is only 1 profile for Flexi, which I found disturbing.
