I have been down this road. Not enough pressure causes this. if more on one side or the other then you need to adjust the rollers. To adjust roller pressure, get a 10' ? of something cheap like IJ35. Make a blue line down the middle end to end. Use a china marker (water soluble) and in dead...

Cutting matts are a bad joke. Period I use 0.50" 5'x10' High Healing HDPE from my plastics suppliers. It is my table top. 4 rotations each side $360 and last for years. Dont get the Matte finish, transfer tape does not stick to it very well. Gloss finish is the way to go. You can get .5" x...

I had a Milwaukee for years and loved it. IMHO This should be the bench mark to compare all other to for quality and Price. Grainger carries them. A lot of companies DO NOT support the equipment they sell. They will only give you the mfg phone number, You would get better support from...

HP Latex is the most Hassle Free Printer and you can laminate immediately after printing. I do not recommend the 560- or 570. You lose 20" of media feed on every job. There are plenty of new 365's available, but I do not know if these have any feed issues that the 500 series has. 750 ml of ink...

In Flexi Sign PM Turn Off "Use Color Correction" Select No Color Correction

I try to keep my contour cut lines in either a Lt Grey or a Red. There are times that a alternate color might be useful pending on the art file itself. A lt Orange or Yellow will illuminate things nicely, but I will have set a color background of a dk blue or black. The reason for this is to...

If were latex, I might be inclined. Solvent inks of any kind are not going on my table; and photo prints from any solvent printer are not going in my home for at least a month.

My guess is that the media is rubbing up against something. Check the vacuum settings and increase enough to pull it down to the platten, and run a small test print. Hope this helps.

The only time you say no to this is when the paint has fully oxidized. Meaning that when you remove the oxidization you are quickly down to bare metal. My installers have no issue installing over old vinyl and or adhesive as long as the dirt is cleared off the adhesive.

Buy Flexi sign Pro version 10 or 11. From Version 12 up they have removed So. Diffusion from the rendering intent. I had a 26500 and when I upgraded to 12 all my print files became washed out. I have had to rework everything. Onyx is not any better. Creating layouts and design in Flexi is 10x...

I tell them to go online and find the fonts they want to use. They are never going to pay $250 per hr for layout and design.

Latex 26500 was great for material management. I have since upgraded to a 560. My digital work is now down to next to nothing. I Created a test print 5"x53" that I fire off twice a day. Uses very little ink and preserves the print heads It has a 10% and 20% value swatch of lc and lm that...

Flexi has a monthly subscription. Pro is $49a month with a 1 year agreement. As cheap as I am, I do find this to be a decent value. Be absolutely certain that with Each and every file you create you make a Save As or Export formats to EPS and PDF. Back these up to a external SS Drive. I have...

Flexi Sign has a few basic print options to choose from. When I am ripping critical files I will let Flexi rip under the Color Correction mode. Under this mode it will recreate black using CMYK across the board. Looks like Mud. When you select No Color Correction the rip will send the numbers...
