That image appears on a CD of cowboy stuff that I got years ago from Sign Warehouse as part of a promotional give-away.

Ink is, or damn well should be, a trivial expense if your pricing model is correct. The average ink usage on a properly priced job is maybe 1-2% of the cost. That being the case, I cleave to OEM inks exclusively. Then if there's any problems, I avoid the inevitable finger pointing session...

Flexi does not import gradients gracefully. More often than not a foreign gradient imports as a set of discrete color bars, not as a continuum. Your best bet is to redo the gradient in Flexi. Also be sure and set the gradient to CMYK in the Design Control dialog, set the rendering intent for...

Why 300 dpi? That would be the definition of overkill. Why a tif file? You can export a 150 dpi jpg with 0 smoothing and compression with insignificant loss. Why bring it into Flexi? If you did a jpg or even, shudder, a tif, you can drop that directly into Production Manager with zero...

See "Sensor Offset Adjustment" in your manual.

Run some cleaning cycles, it should clear up.

LXi is Flexi. The top of the line double gold turbo XXX superlative-superlative-superlative LXi is Flexi at whatever level is one step below Pro.

Actually, you want to select the option to connect to Production Manager on this network. That way you can run Flexi on multiple machines on the same local network and only one machine need have a hasp key. No doubt you can get the thing to run on a parallel interface but why would you want...

You need the activation code, a huge alpha-numeric monstrosity. You must specify both this code and the user id associated with the hasp key to run Flexi any anything but demo mode. When you get a new copy of Flexi both of these code should be included on a separate sheet. If memory serves, the...

Your printer is not properly connected. The Mutoh does not use a parallel cable, it connects via TCP/IP using a print server module that's plugged into the printer's parallel port. Apparently you didn't receive this module when you bought the printer. Moreover you need to use an ethernet...

I've been wrangling 'computerized electronics', everything from the big iron down to PC's and all stops in between, longer than you've been alive and have yet to use or wish I'd have used any of the fundamentally useless power supply and surge protection gadgets that everyone else seems to swear...

A lot of Mutoh Falcons shipped with an anemic version of Onyx that does require a hasp key. If you're not running the Onyx you don't need the key.

Perhaps a different set of the laws of physics apply in my shop. I do it all the time. If you experience problems perhaps either you don't know what you're about or you're accursed.

You need to learn how to weed. Alpha from right to left, numeric from left to right. Always keep a light finger on the material you want to stay on the backing slifing that finger along as you pull up the excess. Remove the excess material with a series of gentle pops rather than a continuous...

Be sure to set the gradient to CMYK and not RGB in Flexi. Set the rendering intent for gradients to 'No Color Correction. In Production Manager Advanced settings use 'Enhanced' or 'Super' for Gradient Smoothness. Never, ever, set Gradient Smoothness to 'Normal'.

Pull the cartridges and weigh them, with power off of course. A full 220ml cartridge weighs in at about 13.5 ounces. An empty 220ml cartridge about 5.5 ounces. You can remove and reinstall the cartridges with impunity as long as the print is powered off.

On the printer's setup menu set 'Flushing' to 'Origin' instead of 'On Media'

No, that's a printer. It prints. For cutting you need a cutter. If you meant to ask if this machine will print images that can be contour cut, the answer is yes. Contour cutting is, for the most part, a function of whatever software you're using as well as having a printer and a cutter...

What, exactly, are you trying to send to the printer and how, exactly, are you trying to send it? Is your printer directly connected via crossover cable or is it connected via some sort of intermediary device? As far as the 50" vice 48", just which Valuejet are you herding? Not one of them...

On the Graphtec it is 'Condition Priority', sorry for the confusion. It's value is set in the Background Settings. Regardless of what it's called what it does is tell the plotter to either ignore various parameter settings from the software [Manual] or pay attention to the software and allow...
