  1. Is anyone using Wasatch with a VP540?

    I am having issues- I suspect that almost all VP owners use VersaWorks- wondering if anyone else has tried this. Thanks Gene
  2. Too cheap for a take-up reel

    Ditto- I may have time this winter to do some experimentation. Thanks Gene
  3. Setting up gradients for printing

    Thanks for the replies- the colors are not spots- they are cmyk, I haven't tried converting to rgb to see if that makes a difference. Gene
  4. Setting up gradients for printing

    I have never noticed this before- when I make a gradient from say PMS485 red to black- that the 485 end is not actually 485- it is washed out. It looks the same on the monitor (unless I use softproof) but it prints lighter. What am I missing here? Thanks Gene
  5. FlexiPro 7.6v2- round corner tool?

    Most often I am trying to round the corners on a complex contour cut- so that it will cut more easily and look better. The problem is that it will round corners only to the first node on any point. If the nodes on the pict are visible... the round corner tool will only round .01 in this case-...
  6. Too cheap for a take-up reel

    I actually have something similar on my VP540- manual wind with an 'egg' timer on the computer to remind me to wind. Gene
  7. Too cheap for a take-up reel

    I have been thinking about this for a couple years- I think it could be done with a BBQ rotisary motor and a motion detector from an outdoor light or an electric eye. Maybe get to it this winter- slower than hell now. Gene
  8. FlexiPro 7.6v2- round corner tool?

    I have struggled with this for years- I realize that it works only to the point of there not being a node too close to any corner. Are there any other tips for using this tool that I am missing. Thanks Gene
  9. sp540v starts to print off the sheet

    Try these in order of ease of operation and cost. 1. Clean your encoder strip 2. clean the module that reads the strip 3. replace or flip the encoder strip over 4. replace the encoder module Search for encoder strip on printingdigial.net for much info on this.
  10. Refreshing/Loading Fonts

    I could not get thru the day without my easy button.
  11. trying to create a gradient in flexi

    Thanks for a great tip Bob- I have fought that problem a couple of times. If I might ask... from where did you glean that info? I have been looking for this kind of tips on hot keys (other than the ones in the book) with little luck. Thanks Gene
  12. Flexi just basically sucks.

    We are talking about incredibly complex programs here- should they be perfect... in a perfect world they should- as Bob says 'we live on Urth'. FlexiPro 5.7 thru (so far) 7.6 has helped us make several millions of dollars worth of signs over 12 years and I love it.:toasting:
  13. VersaCamm Refill Ink Cartridges

    I am onboard with triangleinx for all the reasons listed so far. I installed triangle when my sp300v was new 30months ago ( Chris- I think you had triangle before me) NO issues whatever. I can take a print hot out of the printer and puddle alc on it and scrub after 2 min with almost no ink...
  14. JV33 inksets SS21 or ES3?

    We in the peanut gallery would love to hear/see more about this scrubber! Thanks Gene:notworthy:
  15. encoder strip

    I was having trouble last week- I overnighted a strip and the module so that I would have one (roland dealer doesn't always) and took the strip out and flipped it over (on it's axis) and punched new holes- also took the module loose and cleaned the 'lights'. It worked and is still working...
  16. Laminator Take-up Ideas

    I just made a catch basket out of banner stock and copper pipe and fittings that keeps the vinyl off the floor and swings out of the way if I need access to web the laminator. It works for me. When I am done laminating I cut off and pull the laminated vinyl over the top of the laminator onto...
  17. page size problems?

    That does the trick- thank you again. Gene
  18. page size problems?

    I will try that- thanks Gene
  19. page size problems?

    When I change the page size in a file I usually have to save the file and reopen it to be able to select any object. This happens most often (I think) when we open an existing older flexi file, but it has happened with new files as well. Any thoughts? Thanks Gene
  20. Really Off Topic- about CD changers

    Thank you all for the audio info- good stuff- except for tecdady whose avatar I consider very offensive. I thought that kind of hate-mongering had moved to the talk-trash category of this board:banghead:. Thanks Gene
