  1. trying to create a gradient in flexi

    Thanks Bob, Just wondering, I checked that setting and it is on enhanced and up to now I have never chaged it. Can you tell me when I should? For instance if I am printingspot colours should it be in normal and what differences will I notice? This learning curve never ends, thank God for...
  2. trying to create a gradient in flexi

    That is true and I thought I would but when I open the file in illustrator I know what I am seeing is not correct so thats why I decided to recreate it myself, and I am not an illustrator person so I figured I better do it in flexi.
  3. trying to create a gradient in flexi

    I must be missing something when I try doing gradients in Flexi. For instance I have a file a customer sent with a simple gradient. The file prints poorly so I thought I would recreate it, should be simple....NOT!! OK If I click on the shape with the colour that came in when importing and...
  4. Flexi just basically sucks.

    I have Flexi, Corel , Signlab 5 and 8 , & Omega. All have their good sides and all have their negative. As someone here already said, when using Flexi with complex files it might be wise to make sure that nothing is running in the background as it is a bit of a memory hog. Omega? I can't...
  5. Gerber Edge registration issue

    I have had the same problem from timt to time, some say it can be the difference of the amount of foil on the two cartridges that can cause it. For me I stay away from trapping as much as possible. It can be very frustrating as it's nothing that you have done. Also it can be the clutches in the...
  6. gerber edge prints horribly when the cold weather comes

    when the heat comes on the air can get very dry and then dropouts from static can occur, but I find it is mostly from the head not being up to proper temperature. My Edge le is 13 years old and still on its original head so that my be a reason too although I remember always having issues in the...
  7. gerber edge prints horribly when the cold weather comes

    I knew you would be there for me Fred. You are correct and unfortunately our rooftop heater is not working so I am trying to heat the unit from the rear roof heater and a small space heater. Pretty well have to run everything twice to get the quantity I need.
  8. gerber edge prints horribly when the cold weather comes

    I have always noticed that as soon as the heat is turned on here that from that point on just about everything we print on the Edge, has dropouts. I feel it could be a combination of the dry air but more that the machine does not heat up enought to print properly. If I push the heat settings...
  9. Color matching?

    I think even if the software allowed you to put the values in the printer only works in cmyk so you can never achieve the colour. It is very helpful to get a pantone bridge chart which shows the cmyk values of pantone colours and just how off they will be. There are some that match up great but...
  10. Color matching?

    as a large corperate client one would think that they would hire a design firm that would design for cmyk and not RGB, unless they have never done printed work before which is not likely. I run into these issues at least once or twice a week. I have learned to print as many colour charts as...
  11. mapping a network drive

    I need to be able to get into my main computer via my laptop and can't remember how to map the drive. Anyone out htere know a step by step way to get in?
  12. purchased signlab 8 - program stopped working

    I moved from the old paralel dongle to the usb dongle
  13. Vinyl Keeps Feeding on Startup

    First of all since day 1, I covered the paper sensorin the back of the platten, I then start up the machine and have the rollers out as far as possible on each end with no material in it. I then hit the roll 1 button and let it set up. When the head comes back down to the origin and it starts...
  14. purchased signlab 8 - program stopped working

    well I decided to call back and this time I got someone and he is going to e-mail me the codes. Not sure why they didn't call back, but then I am guilty of that at times lol
  15. purchased signlab 8 - program stopped working

    Thats how they treat us Canadians it seems. We sent the old dongle back via UPS so there will be a trail and a signature, but I find it strange that I have to call them to get it working, and they have never bothered to try and contact me. I can see nothing has changed with their methods. In...
  16. purchased signlab 8 - program stopped working

    So I purchased an upgrade to Signlab 8, and truthfully I loaded it into my laptop but really have not used it yet. In any case they require you to send the old dongle back in a supplied envelope which we did 2 days after we received the new software. I have heard nothing from them and today the...
  17. First Post North Toronto

    welcome from the 400 and Langstaff. Take your time and really research a printer especially if it is going to be put in your home....fumes.
  18. spacing boggles me

    I find times new roman always kerns horribly and sad to say far to many signs have left here and only after they are done do I catch the ugliness of them...oh well, so long as the customers don't pick up on it.:omg:
  19. spacing boggles me

    the V is to kerned out, bring it closer
  20. what sort of maintenance?

    well I tried while cleaning tonight to get those screens out but I guess I need a pair of tweezers to do it. I had visions of trying to grab them with a rubber glove on and the things springing out of my hands and hiding somewhere. I have lost 3 of the turn screws on the other side when I clean...
