  1. Pantone matching for digital printing

    if you print from flexi with no color correction for vectors... but what about rasters that are set to perceptual? your working color space (adobe rgb1998 or srgb) effects how the colors are rendered as well as the rips rendering intent and rgb color space settings. i would think Prowraps...
  2. Pantone matching for digital printing

    the color gamut on most printers are larger than the cmyk in the pantone bridge. i noticed on my mutoh it will hit colors closer than the patone color bridge shows as the cmyk equivalent. on some colors i have use the pantone process color palette out of flexi and have gotten some very vivid...
  3. Fading Ink (VJ 1204)

    don't squeeze the dampers .. that membrane helps to keep the lines primed to only flow one way. sounds like you don't have a seal and vacum created... could be the orings are not sealing to kept the vacum or could be the lines have air. i had a similar problem and had to disconnect the...
  4. Adobe/versaworks/cutlines/problems!!

    in the eps dialog.. under transparency click the custom button and there is a check box for convert all strokes to outlines that is checked by default. i've had problems were i had to uncheck that box so it would leave the strokes as is. i've only had issues when i had used effects in...
  5. Adobe/versaworks/cutlines/problems!!

    what file format do you save as for versaworks? EPS?
  6. Fade behind a image

    I don't like the combo of photo and cartoon much either... maybe a background like wyle e coyotes?
  7. prismjet

    are you talking about the Prismjet extra c or the prismjet VJ. the extra c is a rebranded mutoh falcon.... and the VJ is a rebranded mutoh valujet. i have the falcon version and it gets the job done but very slowly... the VJ is faster and has the wave printing and people are raving about...
  8. exporting in cmyk and rgb

    Isign is asking are you using photoshop? it is best to have you color settings and color spaces setup before you begin designing. i work most of the time lately in adobe 1998 rgb color space. i have my programs color space as that and my rip is set the the same... so with the right...
  9. I must be an illustrator idiot...

    if you can get the flexi version without the RIP... it might be a good deal with the full flexi pro with the RIP included is expensive. but for things like making contours and node editing it is better suit to cutting vinyl. don't get me wrong i love illustrator and use it daily, but for...
  10. I must be an illustrator idiot...

    outlines and contours are something that flexi is better at... like the discussion on an earlier thread... i think flexi node editing tools and the outline, stripe, distort,.. are superior to illustrator.
  11. Trying to print from Illustrater

    thats good...:ROFLMAO:
  12. How come flexi does not print exactly like...

    i would think saving them as an EPS or bitmap and importing into flexi would be you best bet a anyway... copting and pasting is probably losing something in the translation. when you copy it doesn't get the information you would get from saving as EPS. so corels settings and things are not...
  13. How come flexi does not print exactly like...

    there are rendering intents in flexi.... if i remember right they are under your color settings.. one tabs sets input profile and default rgb color space and one sets the cmyk or printer you are using. but when you open up to RIP and print on the same page that you select what profile you...
  14. Okay...So I'm gonna sign a SIGN WAREHOUSE Lease

    CES020 i do think it has worked out good...sometimes you buy something that the seller has to make right, the agreement upfront was if it had to be sent back i would have to ship it (that was the risk of not buying local... lessoned learned) they did send me 3 rolls of hp vinyl, plotter...
  15. Okay...So I'm gonna sign a SIGN WAREHOUSE Lease

    i bought a SW print and cut package... a few problems with my original salesperson, but after that all has been good. except i had to send my cutter back on my dime 2 times (maybe should have bought local) its running great now. my printer has not had any issues except the known ones with the...

  17. Need Help printing colors in Signlab print & cut

    again i'm not real familiar with the roland any more so when you say you are missing 4... i'm not exactly sure what you mean. the pink (magenta) is the color that mixes with the blue (cyan) to make purples... if you have to many nozzles missing on the magenta that could be the source of...
  18. Need Help printing colors in Signlab print & cut

    not real sure how on your machine (i have a mutoh) but the test print how does it look and is it sent from the rip or can you do a test from the printers control panel? reason is if you can do the test print from the printers panel you have eliminated the possibility of the software being...
  19. Need Help printing colors in Signlab print & cut

    more likely the heads are clogged or the ink lines are starved causing color shifts. do you know how to print a nozzle check... it would show what is firing and what is not. letting a printer sit even for a few days can clog things... they are made to run. if its not running much at least...
  20. Is paid membership worth it for me?

    for a person starting out it is definately worth it.. if you have questions about pricing, construction or general biz advice you can almost always get it here. i use the trade mags (signcraft , sign business etc,,) to get tips and tricks on how to make different types of signs. but for...
