Everyone has their favorite recipe for black but, for the most part, they're kidding themselves. Make your black 100%K and nothing else. Use no color correction for everything but bitmaps. This is carbon black, the definitive black. As long as your putting out sufficient ink to cover the media...

It's likely that somehow your rendering intents have changed or perhaps you've turned off 'microdot' if your version of Flexi still has that specification.

Take a look at how many points are generated for any curves thus imported.

Type 2 marks take less room than type 1. Other than that, shrug. You need at least a couple of inches down each side. If you want to increase the left margin on your print just tell Flexi that your media is a couple of inches narrower than it really is.

Anytime a plotter starts doing this sort of thing it's time to clean the tool carriage. 99% of the time this will fix the problem. Just remove the dust cover from the carriage and blow out all of the dust and crud . Pay special attention to the blade up/down mechanism. It doesn't take much in...

Fruita Colorado, about 10 miles west of Grand Junction.

This unit only prints a full 48" in unidirectional mode only. Bi-directional prints about 47.25". Why this is I can't say, only that it is.

If there were an HPGL/GPGL command to invoke the cut-off function you could send that command after each job via the Cut/Plot advanced functions. I don't know if there is such a command nor how to find out if there is one.

There's a couple of ways. The most straight forward way is to invoke the Color Specs dialog and define your special color there.

There are two ways to do manual registration marks. The first is simply to use the manual bomb sight marks and use the build-in light pen to manually locate the four corners. This is only as accurate as your eyeball. Some people see better than others. The second way is complicated to...

The clicking is probably the pair of flat cables and metal spring assembly that uncoils out of the metal trough under the top cover as the carriage moves. There's a number of ties around this assembly, each with a small bit of foam pad to protect the cables. The ties can brush the edges of the...

Knowing what to charge is every bit as much a part of being in this business as being able to do the work. Blindly relying on someone else's algorithm to price your goods means you're not fully competent to be in the business. There's nothing wrong with using an algorithm to produce prices...

Reliable is good. Fast, just like excessive downforce, doesn't mean much. Any plotter at all will move at a speed and downforce sufficient to cut vinyl. Regardless of how fast and hard it can go, you'll end up operating on the slower and weaker end of the spectrum. The actual time spend...

Either your mail server is on drugs or you're accursed.

Deal with it. You're complaining about being off approximately one part in two hundred when feeding paper that you aligned visually. Not all that bad. The way around this is to square things up as much as humanly possible then plot a bounding rectangle around your pattern. Your pattern will be...

Photo Zoom is every bit as good if not better.

Wrong. Cutting Master works exclusively in GPGL.

What are you doing, drinking it? If you're using that much ink and your equipment isn't just firing it all out to the waste bottle, you're doing a volume of such magnitude that ink still isn't a consideration. In the grand scheme of things, for any particular job the cost of ink is, or...

If you have to consider ink costs as an item any more important than paper clips or knife blades your pricing model is suspect.

Printing is printing. Cutting is cutting. It doesn't matter a whit to the cutter what machine did the printing. Anyone that would tell you differently doesn't know their ass from a hot rock.
