  2. Help Creating Edge Test Print to run from Flexi

    Hi, I'm considering purchasing a used Edge 2. The current owner has agreed to run a test print of a file that I supply. He runs Flexi 7.6 but we drive our current Edge with Omega. Although we use Flexi, I am clueless about how to setup a file to output to the Edge. Would anyone be willing...

    lynda.com Very affordable and you have access to training for Corel, Photoshop, you name it. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I put on a tutorial for 3ds Max and poof! I am out.

  6. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    Do you mean the Pantone palettes? I've tried every work around I can think of. Copied the Custom Spot Color file (named userinks.cpl) to another folder and opened it from that location. You can't trick it. Also tried to add my spots to the Pantone palettes. Won't let you. Tried creating...
  7. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    So I still had one free "incident" PIN from Corel that I decided to use. Called tech support. We replicated the problem on the phone. There's no way around it. He said they will report it to their engineers and to be fixed in the next service pack.:rolleyes: We'll see.
  8. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    I'm about to lose my mind! Ok, you can create custom spot colors WITH NAMES that appear WITH THE CORRECT NAME displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen when selected ONLY when using the ONE "Custom Spot Colors" palette established by Corel. If you create a NEW spot color...
  9. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    dclet, That worked. I NEVER would have figured out the "spot" thing. I only did one color so far but this should be just what we needed. Thanks so much for your help.
  10. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    That's a great idea to create the palette in Corel FROM the Flexi palette. It should save a LOT of work. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I did try what you suggested earlier (eps out of Corel) right before I left the shop, but Flexi didn't like the file and wouldn't let it in. I tried...
  11. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    Something else occured to me. What version of AI and what settings are you checking to get this to work in the export menu in Corel? I send everything as Illustrator 88, PC, curves, nothing else checked. AND Are there possibly some imort settings in Flexi that may need to be adjusted?
  12. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    That's what I was hoping, but that doesn't seem to work - at least not with Flexi v 7.5 (haven't laid down the dough to upgrade:rolleyes:). Does that work in your version? If so, what version are you running?
  13. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    Thanks dclet. We use cast and reflective 3M vinyl and calendared Avery. These palettes are terrific for approximating the vinyl colors in Corel. What I'd really like to do is have the Corel palette be compatible with the Flexi palette so that when it comes into Flexi, the color names are the...
  14. Way to assign vinyl color in Corel so it comes in as THAT vinyl color in Flexi

    I know that there are programs available that cut directly from Corel and I'm sure that someone may suggest we go that route. I tried Co-Cut once and sent it back. I'm sure that it works well for some, but Flexi just works better for us. We're pretty invested in this setup now and not interested...

    Thanks for the links. Have you ever tried a product named Avonite? It appears to be similar to Corian.

    We've had our CNC for about a year now and I would like to try Corian. Do you have any suggestions about how to find a distributor?
  17. is this any good

    I don't know about the cutter, but have you ever considered applying for a position with an established sign company in your area? I'm sure that there is a business out there who could put your existing skills and ambitions to work. You would gain valuable experience while doing something that...

    Visa, MC and we just added AmEx. We don't advertise that we accept AmEx because their rates are higher, but some of our state and local governments only use it, so it speeds up payment with those customers.
  19. Looking to get a CNC router

    We just got training on our new AXYZ. They have been great to work with and they include software with the router (ToolPath). We're obviously still learning, but are happy so far. We bought a 4010 which actually gives you a 5' x 10' table. We also added a tool changer and extra Z axis with...
  20. Ordered a Router!

    Thanks for the positive comments. No matter how exciting it is to get a new "toy", it's also kinda scary. Your notes give me a little more peace of mind. AXYZ is supplying the phase converter for the router. The one I bought is only for the dust collection system. I called 4 different...
