  1. printing panels in flexi question

    I see in the panel section of rip and print that it seems to highlight one panel to the left and I can actually choose any one of them although I am not sure what it means as in the gneral tab I see it is going to print them all anyways. How do you actually select one of the panels to print...
  2. doing panels in flexi

    I will run unidirectional but I see what it did. There is a box to butt them up I think, it says 1/2 and when I clicked it the print boxes corrected themselves. I assume it was putting in some extra spacing in. Thanks guys
  3. doing panels in flexi

    I think I need help with this. I have sent a graphic 110" wide to rip and print and then in the panel selection I plug in 27.5" wide. it then shows me how the graphic looks with the panels and it seems to not be correct where it draws the cuts. The first panel looks correct but then the rest are...
  4. 2 years and only now I realize this?

    I have been working with Flexi photoprint for 2 years ( a means to an end you could say) and only today do I realize that when you have a grouped object within many others and marquee everything to send down to print, that the software ignores the grouped object. Why? I have no idea but over the...
  5. File Conversion Question?!?

    I never implied sneaky, but now that you mention it, it sounds strange that you would have files with no software. It's the way you asked that would arouse suspicion. I would suggest that you find someone local with SignLab and ask them what they would charge to open them and resave them as eps...
  6. File Conversion Question?!?

    When you say you don't have the software anymore, I don't understand how that can be. Where did it go? CDL files are propriatary to SignLab and can't from my understanding be opened without SignLab, so if they are important to you...buy a low level basic SignLab package.
  7. Release of Customer Artwork - Your Policy

    It really depends on who the customer is for me. If a good customer asks for some artwork I generally dance around what he needs it for so I can figure out what is best for him and the person using it. By doing this I can suss out if they are trying to leave me, which so far has never happened...
  8. Anyone here have the Jv5? Thoughts on it?

    everything I seem to read in here on that machine spells trouble from what I can tell. Better have a back up machine for insurance
  9. cant print blue

    Do you perform daily maintenance to your machine? Solvent inks get gummy and can easily block a percentage of nozzles creating loss of ink flow
  10. which vinyl manufacturer is best or worst?

    interesting that fade would be associated with the actual vinyl, I always felt that the fade would be the ink and shrinkage would be the vinyl. I have a shop door that faces due south and I put decals on there to see over time just how they will last and it is interesting to see how even decals...
  11. print problem

    not sure what profile you using but i have found that an rgb setting of r-0 g-0 b-158 seems to mimick a nice saphire blue in flexi
  12. windows xp update

    I do back ups of my desktop computers but this laptop I generally only use for internet forums and the odd email. I also have signlab 8 in it for learning purposes. Maybe I am wrong in thinking this but even if you back up everything and some catastrophic thing happens because of this update...
  13. windows xp update

    My computer has been trying to get me to download new updates so finally I gave in and proceeded. Before it would install them it suggested that I back up my system. I was alarmed by a message like that and wondered just what on earth was it going to try and load. What does it mean by me backing...
  14. Helvetica question

    Ariel to me is a default font and when I see any type of signage using it I cringe
  15. burning fonts?

    Thanks Dog, thats exactly what I am doing, and it works now
  16. burning fonts?

    I recently purchased signlab 8. I currently use signlab 5 and want to start using 8 in my laptop while still using 5 in my desktop comp that is running win98 (stop laughing). Now I just figured that the new version when opening old files is going to be looking for fonts, so I figured I would...
  17. Mimaki wiper seemes to be stuck

    Thank you I will take a look from behind
  18. Mimaki wiper seemes to be stuck

    I had no error, but since printing in thick mode it gets incredibly messy in there. I do clean the wiper and the capping station every night and I do wipe the rods with cleaning solution on a lint free cloth, however it is hard to clean the underside of the rods and maybe thats where the build...
  19. Mimaki wiper seemes to be stuck

    I gave my machine the usual Friday night nozel wash and a good cleaning. Jv130spII BTW .... I came in saturday morning (very rare for me) and I start the machine up and I hear this weird noise when the wiper is supposed to be wiping the heads. Sounds like a little muffled grinding sound, I...
