  1. Short Changed

    hmmm. Sounds like the plotter's stepper motor is not advancing the same distance per step as the driver is set to. Example: The driver settings are for a 1mm step but the plotter is only moving .75mm per step. The result would be what you are describing. Not sure if there is a setting in Flexi...
  2. Flexi issues

    If you select the text tool and then select a font then start typing, Flexi will save that font as default. To keep a certain font like arial as default just select the text tool and start typing. Then when done with your text, click on the "select tool" and select the text and change it to...
  3. "now processing" message during cutting

    we also had this problem on 1 of our work stations. Turns out that windows firewall was on and was pissing off the data throughput. The other posts are correct too, it could be any number of things, check your entire network but dont overlook the network settings on the machine itself.
  4. First wrap - Fender Flairs Suck

    Those flares are foam taped on the outside edge and use push clips in the finder well. If you remove them you have to clean all the old tape off, use primer 94 and reinstall new 3M molding and emblem tape and reinstall them. Too much a PITA for a wrap IMO. We would just clean them and install...
  5. window perf

    prepsol or the laminate might be your problem. We use alcohol instead of any type of prepsol. We wash with a decent dish washing soap like joy (unscented) it strips wax and oils off, then load up a spray bottle with 70% alcohol and clean it with that. As for laminating perf, we don't laminate...
  6. Reflective coming out wrong color on vehicle

    Faded grays are a PITA to say the least. Tweak the hell out of the color until it is right on that material. I hate black fades. I keep a bottle of Jack in my desk just for gray fades. The more I drink the better they look.
  7. Material roll fastenings

    Bag O Rubber Bands $2.50. Put them on the end of my rolls where the rollers run anyway. How much are those things? If they aren't free then I would have a small fortune in them. We keep around 100 rolls of material in stock.
  8. Need installer in Dallas FRIDAY.

    If something falls through call me, I can probably put you in touch with some shops. I am just west of Ft. Worth and would jump on the install myself if I wasn't out of control busy right now. On a side note LKQ and Keystone are a good bunch of folks. We buy tons of parts off of them. Never had...
  9. help on tricky install

    It isn't hard to pop the door panels and take those brackets off. 3 or so screws and maybe a clip or 2 and your able to remove the panel for access to the bracket fastener. As for the one by the rear tire you might have to loosen the inner fender shield to get to that one.
  10. Clogged Vacuum Fan

    What is the service interval on the fan. I asked our tech about it and got the run around.
  11. VE LXI software... filling outlines

    DXF blows unless you like stop sign shaped circles. As for your problem it sounds like your artwork is built of segmented lines with strokes. I hate strokes but alot of print based artist work with strokes to save on layers. Without looking at the art files your working with i am afraid your...
  12. Build for under Bypass Backlit signs for rent

    That is what I was thinking!!! USDOT would rip your a$$ for that. And my luck an earthquake would take the whole bridge down and we would take the blame.
  13. Registration marks

    The clear circle is . 17? Or the reg mark is .17 and the clear is say .25?
  14. Problem setup sheet in sp300

    One of your outside pinch rollers are probably set to far out.
  15. Looking for new printer at Baltimore Trade show

    I have always paid cash for our equipment. Up until we bought our printer, we leased it. We pre-bought a demo that was getting used at a show. I watched them un-crate and set it up. The discount on the machine off set the financing and the plus is I can take the full payment of the lease off...
  16. Need some help with pricing

    If you don't start treating your business like a business, even though it is in your "home workshop". You will never be able to get into that storefront down town. You will have already trained your customer base to expect your pricing structure and they will not let you go up on them, even if...
  17. Is my pricing outrageous?

    Old saying, If your he cheapest in town, your the busiest and the brokest. Work smart and hard and you will be fine. Let the tightwads walk and service the good customers and charge a premium for your premium work.
  18. Versaworks Contour Problem

    Didn't have to catch the A-hole. He came in and asked me to double his pay, so I let him go.
  19. Where to look for pre-owned Roland XC-540's?

    You might look on http://www.digitalprintmarket.com/. I get emails about 2 times a week from them, but have never bought a thing off the site.
  20. First Wrap Questions

    We are a full service shop. We have a paint and body department, fab department, and vinyl department. So I kinda know what you are wanting to do here. Answer to: Q:2 No don't wrap over anything but a good stable finish. Be it paint or primer. Rust, dirt, wax, etc. will set yourself up for...
