No. Flexi runs with PC's or Mac's. You might get it cranked up on the big iron with some sort of emulator. Further assuming that you could run multiple simultaneous but independent emulators such that Flexi thinks it's only running once on the system. That's a lot of assumptions. Cheaper...

People were doing contour cutting long before plotters featured any sort of automatic mark recognition. Since you're using Flexi, merely print 4 manual marks and either buy a light pointer pen or simply eyeball the blade tip when you register a print for contour cutting. Once you get the hang of...

Really? How then do these various hues differ? Black is the only color that is definitive. That being the case adding colored pigment to black might do a number of things for you but it won't make black any blacker. It might make the ink thicker but it sure as hell won't make it any blacker...

No such animal. Black is black. There's no such thing as rich black, pale black, or any other adjective black. There is only black. K is black, all else is some color of mud. If your printer isn't producing black it's because your rendering intent and your profile are interpreting black as...

Everyone has their secret formula for a good black but it really depends on just what you're printing and how your rendering intents are set. For bitmaps a rendering intent of perceptual will deliver a good black with any decent profile. For everything else, a rendering intent of 'spot'...

Yours is a reasonably common complaint and, regular as clockwork, someone pipes in about offset. Offset is most misunderstood setting. It's primary purpose is to make square corners square, not ensure complete cutting. Diddling the offset won't do much for this problem. This behavior is...

Why would you care what it is? That image just put the art of typesetting back a couple of hundred years.

That's not the way it's done. You need to account for every sales tax transaction and send that amount to the apparatus. Sending 7% or whatever of your gross is hosing yourself. Not all of your business may be subject to sales tax. Work for tax exempt organizations, in this village every church...

This has nothing to do with adjusting the printer. I see that you're using Flexi. In the Production manager highlight the printer setup. Then do Setup->Output Size Compensation... Set the expected length and the measured length in the appropriate text boxes. Be sure and check the "Enable Output...

You might want to disable system restore before you get rid of all of the malfeasant code. Double click My Computer and then right click in the window. Select Properties->System Restore and turn it off. When you're all done, turn it back on again. Lots of nasty software is persistent if...

That's probably not a type face, it's more likely something someone did by hand. They could have started with a simple blackletter face but added the, ah, er, embellishments.

Save it from what? Or, more better, save it for what? Do you really think think that the odd ink cartridge tossed into the trash is going to seriously effect the course of history? Or any number of cartridges? These sorts of efforts have about as much impact on anything as an extra cup of...

So you're doing full automatic? Some questions in no particular order: What software? What size are the prints? Do you have any superfluous specifications for the cut like weed boxes, margins, etc? Is the plotter set to use the same type registration mark as you're printing? As in type 1 or...

Of all the things that could be the problem, offset is not one of them. Exactly how are the prints being registered? Manually via bomb sight? Full auto from the software? Manually using the plotter's auto registration tackle?

When you import an eps or a pdf into Flexi you get one or more masked objects. I have no idea why but you do. If you want to diddle with any component you have to unmask that object. When you unmask one of these masked objects the first object in the list of objects is a rectangle, usually...

The larger the print the more likely you'll end up with a mark scan error. Printing a 1000 2x5 images is way too much media . Run the job on as many 36-48" sheets as it takes. Sheets of this size are much easier to handle, minimize any mark scan errors, and if you screw up you're only out a...

I've used the cutter on my printer a couple of times just to see if it works. I find just running a scissors across the media is faster than and every bit as accurate as the built in cutter and/or an envelope opener.

Don't be offput by self-appointed vigilantes. The process is the same regardless of copyright protection. The logo police aren't going to descend on you from ropes dangling from black helicopters. Knocking off a design for a friend is one thing, knocking off a design for profit is quite...

Perhaps the Sign Warehouse weenie figures that some bizarre version of the shoemaker's elves will visit while you sleep and make everything right.

Since you're fixated on 'cutting out' this will be counter-intuitive. Make a heart the right size. Select your bitmap. Then do Effects->Power Clip>Place Inside Container. Then select the heart. You don't 'cut it out' so much as you 'put it inside'.
