Part of that is because virtually all printer manufacturers view their product as ink vending machines. I know this because I used to play on that side of the fence. I choose not to participate.

It's unclear which is worse, the name you affect or the designs you present. The name is terrible. It reeks of teeny-bopper cuteness and presents no aura of business acumen. It the name of something that appeared in the night and will be gone in a few weeks or months. Worse that you...

Except that the script you used is locked in a death struggle with the LHF Antique Shop as well as the inadvisability of using that same specimen typeface for body text. Typography still isn't your long suit, eh?

The only thing worse than title case is YELLING ALL THE TIME. You're not putting notations on a blueprint, you're attempting to communicate. English is a poor enough vehicle without diddling the format into an incredibly hard to read exhibition of title case.

Sleeping? Nonsense, I turn my printer off when I'm not using it. I've been doing so for years. I keep it clean and I have few if any problems and none of the the vast litany of complaints that constantly appear in these waters.

Flexi probably interpreted the imported image as being masked into a rectangle. If so, unmask the rectangle and then delete the black rectangle that will be on top of your image. If the image is a bit map you'll probably have to make the background transparent in Flexi. Flexi doesn't deal...

Yes for the printer, not so much for the plotter. Notwithstanding that there might weoll be some obscure el cheapo technique to bypass an actual real live RIP.

If I were paid poorly I would have been otherwise employed and thus not qualified to have an opinion.

The point is understanding the world in which you have chosen to live and a consistent model, not whether or not you can create software. The ability to create it merely allows the ability to criticize how it does whatever it does. It has nothing whatsoever to do with what the software does or...

Estimate, at least the copy I had some years ago, was poorly designed and implemented. Poorly designed because it masks its basic ineptitude with needless complexity of calculation. I know this because I know that any pricing model that does not consider media unrolled as media used and that...

That would be the previously mentioned gradient transparency ala Corel. No, you can't. It doesn't matter why you can't, you simply can't.

What makes you think it can't? Create an object. Fill it with a gradient. Do Effects->Lens->Transparent ...and there you are. Or did you mean a gradient transparency in the manner of Corel's interactive transparency? If so then no, you can't. As to why you can't, who knows.

Any plotter can do contour cutting. The question is whether any particular plotter has some sort of optical registration sensing tackle or do you have to do it manually.

Really? Do a little fundamental arithmetic. The OP is using a Graphtec FC7000 thus he either has the .09" or the .15" blade. The maximum offset possible can only be half of those numbers, either .045" or .075" max. The actual offset is typcally less than those numbers. Therefore if the offset is...

Offset is the thing most pounced on as a cause of trouble but it's the least likely thing to cause any sort of problem. If it does, the visual evidence is definitive; overshooting or undercutting square corners by a slight amount. That's slight. For the most part offset, once set, doesn't wear...

Cutting roughly in which direction, X or Y?

It sounds as if the blade isn't rotating properly. When was the last time you lubricated the bearings in the blade holder?

There are ways. What, exactly, are you trying to do?

Fonts are added to your font folder, not to your software. Add the fonts to your machine's font folder in the normal way then run LXi, which is just Flexi with another name, and the fonts will, as if by magic, appear. This is assuming that you're running a version of the software that was...

Whichever you buy, go for at least a 30". While a 24" is adequate, with a 30" things seem to lay out better on the media. When I had a 24" I was always trying, with varying degrees of success, to shoehorn images onto the media. With the 30" I can't recall the last time it was an issue. As far...
