    Ohhh and I guess I should have pointed out that my original post was stated in humor. Next time I'll make sure and inform everyone that I am joking.
  2. Can we stop the absolutely DUMB practice of...

    Well you dont know our business. A little background. 1. We wrap for a large internet company and are currently on unit 94 since this covid crap all started. We are not accepting new clients right now. 2. We locked the doors and didn't let clients enter our shop. 3. We cleaned like mofo's...
  3. Can we stop the absolutely DUMB practice of...

    If you would just go ahead and get the covid, you wont have to worry about it anymore. We all got it here at the office. I'm back rolling like normal. Hell I never shut down. I didn't know we had it till I had been sick for 12 or 15 days. My daughter only had symptoms for 48 hours, my wife for a...
  4. Bus Wrap Advice

    pre wrap the license plate box. Feed the wrap into the areas below the tail lights stretching as little as possible. You will have to heat and stretch the area, its just not possible to do it cold. Over print your design and use knifless tape.
  5. Setting voltage for new print head in Gerber edge

    Back then half of what we did with the edge was not recommended. I remember Orange and some greens where the worst at releasing from the liner. At that time we were double hitting colors, printing on the liner paper, printing lexan equipment panels from stock we had custom punched and slit, and...
  6. Setting voltage for new print head in Gerber edge

    I know there is a rheostat pot on the board under the right hand lower cover. It is about in the middle of the board. I used to use it on some colors to adjust the temp of the print head because the liner wouldnt release correctly. Keep in mind this was back in the early 90s when Flexi first...
  7. Aligning Objects

    I tested it and flexi aligns to the most rear object when you drag a selection box around multiple objects. You are correct on selecting the first object when using shift and select. But layer order does matter when dragging a selection box..
  8. Aligning Objects

    HMMMM. I always though flexi aligned to the most rear object when you drag a selection box. I dont remember it ever aligning to the first thing the drag box hit. That being said you can always select the first object then hold shift and drag a selection box around the other stuff then align to...

  10. Printing Gradients

    You are welcome.
  11. Printing Gradients

    Flexi is putting a mask on the fade. Try flattening it to a raster image.
  12. Color Separations

    We use Separation Studio 4. Worth every penny. Customers bring in art and we dont have to recreate it in vector just to separate it. It will handle jpeg and also do halftone.
  13. Question Vinyl crackle/wrinkle problem

    We have been seeing problems with Avery's longevity over the last 5 or 6 years. We still use their 1105 but not their lam. I would guess its the UV damage along with cleaning chemicals shortened the life.
  14. Need Help Flexi Program running slow

    The way we design and build 99% of our wrap prints is: Vector elements built in Flexi and exported as eps and brought into Photoshop. Raster elements built in Photoshop. Final design is put together in Photoshop, copied, flattened, then paneled with the marquee tool manually setting overlaps and...

  16. Need Help Flexi Program running slow

    Flexi has always been notoriously slow at loading large file sizes. Our RIP server is running: Intel i7-7820X 64gig of DDR3 RAM ASUS Motherboard Nvidia GTX1080 500gig SSD Even with those specs, Flexi opens large files slow. RIP is pretty fast as it is more dependent on RAM and page file size...

    To answer your question. Who cares!!! But yes the plain will take off. If a plain is flying 400 and there is a fly inside the cabin flying from tail to nose at 2 mph? Is the fly flying at 402 or just 2?
