Aloha Doug! I try to help when I can. As for free software, I don't think it would be compatible with the CE-1000. It comes with the newest plotters and only has drivers for them. Graphtec's website doesn't even show the CE-1000 on their legacy plotter list any more. Since Denco doesn't...

I gave up on a few months ago when it wouldn't work with this forum. I just use my phone browser

3m makes an aircraft film, besides what you mentioned, it is perforated because the aluminum skin will actually leak air when the plane is at altitude and the cabin is pressurized.

You should be able to find a 1/4-20 bottoming tap at your local Ace or True Value store. It's a pretty common size. Sometimes it's easier to just go put eyes on the thing. Also, you may need to start it with the normal tapered tap just to get some light threads started.

Pausing after each pass is typically caused by one of 2 things on the VG. 1. communications issues - network, cables, NIC, etc. If this has been stable and nothing has changed, I'd start by looking at #2 (especially since you got the head protection message). 2. Ink bag not recognized. - In...

I'm usually agreeing with you VanderJ, but this seems like it would just make a mess on the back of the mesh which would just get dragged forward on the printer and make a bigger mess.

That would depend on the plotter you're using and the design software you're using.

So, if it's for a fire department that demands color continuity, why not just get the Gold reflective and price the job according the materials and labor involved in doing it the right way?

Alicia, Close Flexi and Production Manager then go to the Start Menu and SAi and click on the Preferences Manager. Select Factory Defaults and click on load. This will essentially reset Flexi to where it was when it was first installed.

I usually change out the cable guides when I replace the cable, but cleaning would be the minimum. Then make sure that the cable hugs the inside cable guide when you put it all back together - adjust this by moving the cable along the bottom of the track to get it right and run the carriage...

Something's not right there. Here's what I get with Agreloy.ttf: I happen to be using Flexi Sign and Print 12, but I would have expected the same thing from v10. You could try loading the factory defaults in the Preference manager and see if that solves your problem. - Be aware that this...

I have a customer using SignLab to drive their L365. It may not be certified, but it does the job. Also, I agree with Frank, don't pick your printer based on driver availability. At the very least, you could use Sign Lab to create your files and RIP it through the provided RIP (or a premium...

This is probably coming from the program that is creating the files. If you were to create the same file in Flexi, it would give you smooth Bezier curves (assuming you're using a good font). I've seen this happen (though not recently) coming from cad programs (like autocad) that are oriented...

It can mess with solvent printers too, but not as quickly. They should swap out that roll for a newer one. This is a problem with the vinyl, not the printer. The newer printers have the roller, but even that won't overcome severe plasticizer migration. They've just had that roll sitting...

That's pretty typical of vinyls that have a thin liner. Moisture gets into the liner and it will swell. It can also happen when putting a roll of cold media (like it just came off the truck in the winter) on the printer without allowing it to acclimate to the print room conditions - but...

The Flexi Sign swatch for 580, 680-64 gives an RGB value of 166,119,59. Give it a shot.

Don't feel too bad. Probably every 3rd or 4th install that I do, I'll get distracted and forget to put the knifeholder in at all till after I spend a couple of minutes looking for the test cut to weed it out.

That's the problem white Haus. The queue settings don't include perfcut settings. Let your Roland dealers and reps know that this is a major need in VersaWorks and VWDual. Maybe if they get enough requests, it will make it to the drawing board.

First things first, Doc. You're doing the right thing and won't regret anything that happens in the shop. Prayers are with you and your father.

Glad I could help.
