I had the same thing happen to me with Flexi, the font names are there but they don't display when typing, I didn't experiment to see if they print. But I have two machines an XP and a Win 7. What is odd is that on the XP machine I am having the same problem with Adobe fonts but I have not done...

I looked into it and apparently there is a way to manually align for a contour cut with the Graphtec and Q series. The article talks about turning on the laser pointer... then aligning the four corners, and then replacing the cutter to cut. I think it might be a small laser that you stick into...

That's a good question, I'll need to check on that. I am really bummed out today... I had a line on a nearly new S75 T for a steal of a price and the guy sold it yesterday to someone else. Story of my life.. a day late, and a dollar short.

Thanks, that's good to know. I have a Vinyl Express Q-75 I've had for years and I assumed it had the ARMS for contour cutting. Turns out on the Q-75 that was an option. So now I finally get a printer, and go to try a contour cut, and surprise, surprise, it didn't work. So now I'm looking for a...

Just wondering if anyone knows if Flexi supports the Summa brand plotters/cutters? Thanks

Yes, I learned that you must use a spectrometer system if you can afford it or like I did you must print out a CMYK swatch table for whatever media you are using and regardless of what it looks like on the screen dial in the exact mixture of colors and they will print that way. This way I get...

UPDATE - I thought of something else that could be causing some of my problems. The rainbow Gradient I am applying is to a line of text. I wonder if I should be setting my TEXT under the Rendering Intents to "No Color Correction" instead of "Perceptual"?

Yes, I did set it for CYMK but it seemed to keep switching back to RBG. Was acting kind of squirely too. The first node color on the left (using Rainbow Fill) is RED, so I would make sure I was in CYMK mode and then I would change the node to my good red which in this case is 0-100-80-5. When I...

I have found that in order to get the colors I want in my final output I usually need to use custom defined CYMK colors. I tried doing a Rainbow gradient fill and I seemed to be able to define the colors in CYMK that I wanted to use, but when printed, my changes were ignored and it used the...

Now THAT is just as cool as can be. Thanks so much! :U Rock:

Thanks for the replies. Using version 10.5. I did start doing just that, adding my own colors, but then I accidentally changed some of the default colors by accident and can't figure out how to get them back because I don't know what the mixture of colors was. I'd like to create my own palette...

Is there anyone that can tell me if and how to create custom color palettes in Flexi? Can't find anything about it in the help file. Thanks

That's intersting, I'll give that a try. I'm curious about how you "dial back the ink supply", what RIP are you using?

I found an old 24" roll of plain paper laying around and I was curious if anyone has had any experience selecting a profile for this type media on a Mutoh 1204 or 1604? This paper is very dull matte finish, slightly off white and I assume very absorbant. I though possibly a canvas or textile...

When you print the test sheet that's built into the printer it uses it's own profile that's part of the firmware. You do this test from the printer menu without even connecting it to a computer or anything. What I am saying is that it won't even print Red on it's own test sheet, it comes out...

I did excactly the thing you suggest, but red comes out orange, and I don't mean a red that looks a bit orange, it comes out an exact and perfect orange. That's why I think there is something wrong with this printer or I got a bad batch of ink, and that is why I'm having such a hard time getting...

When I print out the internal color test sheet on this printer red comes out a perfect orange. I was just curious if this was normal for this printer? Every other printer, where I've printed out it's internal test sheet, prints all it's colors near perfectly. Does this printer have an internal...

Mutoh makes a spectrometer for the two larger versions of the 1204. Have no idea why they did not make it to fit this one too, but there are third party meters that will work on any printer. Spent an hour with a remote connection to tech support at Signwarehouse and they showed me how to keep it...

What software are you using? I'd like to switch to something else, Flexi stinks, you would think a 4K piece of software would make your job easier instead of harder.

Here is an update on this. There are three places to "preview" your job, one is in Flexi, one is in the RIP and Print Window, and a third is the Production Manager Job Properties window. These print outs where I'm having the trouble look good in the first two windows, but when I look at them in...
