The option for manual nesting is in the layout screen that pops up when you click on job properties. I'm using the latest cloud version but yours might be different.

Also, I know you are using Corel for the most part, but if you use Flexi designer at all you can use the true shape nesting feature. It automatically nests contour cut images to minimize white space. Here is a video about it.

There is a check box on the bottom left corner of the layout window that is labeled, "Manual nesting". Make sure that is checked and you should be able to move them freely. It doesn't let you overlap though.

Hold the Ctrl button and select the files you want to nest. Once you select the files you want, right click and a menu will pop up and nest will be an option. It will automatically nest them.

As far as I understand it, you have to spray a solvent to dissolve the liner. Most solvents like that are flammable. It's similar to paint booth regulations I would assume.

Roland sends me legal notices when I send them to people but you can find them all over the internet and this site. Do a search and you should find some posts of people who give them out. Changing the cap top is pretty straight forward. I believe that model has a tiny spring towards the front...

I switched a couple years ago and will never go back. SSD is the way to go. Also, when it comes to how the computer RIPs the file, the amount of memory it uses is directly related to how much your processor can handle at a given point. It just so happens that the RIP process cannot be split...

When software companies say their software is not compatible with a certain OS they almost always mean, they just wont' help you if you run into any issues. I have switched from OS to OS through the years and have noticed that going from Windows 7 to 10 does not seem to affect a ton of software...

I myself am an EPS guy and it works every time. For some reason I have found that most signs101 guys hate EPS. I see a lot of people converting to TIFF or JPEG which baffles me because you designed in vector for a reason. Once you rasterize you are lowering the quality of the design. It works...

Use the color replacement tool in Flexi to override the RIP on that color and input your own values. When you pick a color in your design software, the rip will interpret it based on the profile which changes the values. If you want to control those values directly, you either need to turn off...

Probably not but check the VW folder for a temp or working folder. Sometimes rips will save a copy in a folder while it processes and you might get lucky that it is still in there.

The average eco sol ink is rated at 3 years without lam. It completely depends on your area and which way they face etc. I have a customer who has two identical signs installed on the same day. One is on the outside wall and is exposed 100% facing south and the other is on his garage door which...

Error C11 is an error that pops up when there is a problem with the parameter file and/or the F/W version and driver are not up to date. The easiest thing to do is to make sure the Mimaki USB driver is up to date and the F/W is also up to date. If that doesn't get rid of the issue, you might...

Pantone Color of the year!

I have never been a big fan of the perf cut option on any brand of machine. It could just be that I don't set it up correctly but it almost never works for me.

It depends on the paper but I have done it before and it came right off.

I never knew HPs required "optimizer" heads! Another expense!

You need to adhere some transfer tape to the back for it to work and it will kill your blade much faster than vinyl does but it's doable. If you cut it without some sort of backer it will lose stability and crumple up in the machine.

I would assume it was printed on a UV curable flat bed printer. Most UV curable inks are rated at 3 year outdoor durability without laminate. Depending on how much exposure they get they can last much longer. The manufacturers do not report the pigments used however so there isn't really a way...

That is usually just a result of missing nozzles/drop out. You might need to clean or replace the maintenance station and dampers. The older the head is the more likely it is just failing but usually missing nozzles are just caused by maintenance parts failing.
