  1. Setting up Flexi for cutting

    "Port" in this context is just a USB jack, not a logical entity. The USB jacks on the front of the machine are sometimes not full boogie ports. If you have ports in front then you sure as hell have them in back, use one of the ports in the back. As far as designating a port, USB does away...
  2. Tangential?

    Offset is a product of not having the blade tip centered on the blade's axis of rotation, not whether or not the blade is turned via some specific mechanism or merely turns itself in the direction of travel. I realize that it's the offset the makes the blade turn itself but lack of offset is...
  3. FFLexi Mutoh DX contour cut

    To keep a job around open it in the Production Manager and on the second tab select 'Hold" rather than "Delete". As far as missing registration marks, how large a panel are your attempting and what is the firmware level in your plotter and what version of Flexi? Graphtec/Flexi had a...
  4. pinting copy of a 30" x48" $100 bill

    If it won't scan, take a picture of it.
  5. I need calender software

    Corel has a reasonably good calendar module. You get at it by Tools->Visual Basic->Play... Select "Calendar Wizard" from the 'Macros In:' drop down list and there you are.
  6. Microsoft Access... anyone using it?

    Interesting since Access basically is a front-end for an SQL and will readily display the SQL equivalent of its various components where possible. On big problem with SQL is whose SQL? There's as many variations as there are providers. There are many SQL's.
  7. Microsoft Access... anyone using it?

    Access is, or when I was in the business was, a nice small database package. But, and that's a huge but, there's a few of issues. Not specifically with Access but with the notion of databases in general... First-off a database is never done, you're always screwing around with it. That's why...
  8. "Naturally Speaking" speach recognition software

    'it' being a pronoun of no particular gender referring to the previously referenced person.
  9. "Naturally Speaking" speach recognition software

    Interesting... I was once involved in a bit of voice recognition software. The project, which was a Really Big Deal at the time, was abandoned when it became clear that there were some philosophical problems having to do with the nature of language and epistemology in general. They were...
  10. Changing Maint. Station In My Falcon 48

    No head wash needed. Just change it as per the instructions in the maintenance manual. Be sure and set the capping station limits via the instructions in the manual as well. You do have a maintenance manual, don't you? Make sure you remember which wire goes where on the motherboard, there's...
  11. My Trouble with SAi............

    How does Microsoft's perfidious behavior justify SAI's? Both are reprehensible in that they expect you to pay them so you can help them debug their product.
  12. Falcon Jr. and black ink bleed??

    When was the last time you cleaned the edges of the print heads, the seals on the capping station, and the wiper?
  13. Wireframe line width too thin

    The wire frame is, if memory serves, one pixel wide. As it should be. If you want the illusion of wire frame but a taste bolder, set a suitable stroke on all of your objects and set all of their fills to empty. Printing a single pixel width object on a printer with, say, 600 or 1200 dpi...
  14. Flexi: how to keep cuts in production manager AFTER cutting...just in case?

    Or you can do the same thing on a job by job basis without screwing over your default setup. Just open the job in Production Manager and there on the second tab change "delete" to "hold" for this job.
  15. A sign to ponder?

    Times change, adapt or perish. It's neither good nor bad, it just is. Nonetheless the apparatus that appears to be the author of this work would seem to be overstepping its bounds in perhaps using public funds to advance an editorial opinion. An opinion that might be held fervently but...
  16. Warranty

    Warranties are seldom a good idea. If you're being charged $X for a warranty it's a good bet that you aren't going to experience $X in maintenance over the period of the warranty. The people touting warranties have their rationalizations all dressed right and covered down but the numbers are...
  17. Adding pinch rollers?

    The media buckles from inertia, not lack of pinch rollers. If it buckles you're feeding to too fast. For accurate tracking two rollers is optimum. Adding additional rollers may assist with heavier media but they complicate tracking on any device the moves media both back and forth. There is...
  18. Your thoughts on Chisel Fonts

    Counterpoint: I've been in and around this business for over half a century and have never, as in ever, used a chisel type face. I've never had any job that I felt would be improved by a chisel type face. Contrariwise, I've seen a lot of gratuitous use of them and I seldom like the result...
  19. Overlap

    Since the overlap region is printed on both panels this would seem to be a non-issue. Given two panels, A and B with, say, 1/2" overlap, panel A can overlap panel B and/or panel B can overlap panel A, depending on your prejudices. The 1/2" overlap region is the same image on both panels, so...
