  1. Need Help First time lamination problems

    Just a few rules of thumb to go by: Make sure your laminate feed roll is taught. Loose feed swill result in an uneven marks and sometimes wrinkles. This tension will change as the diameter decreases so you need to always be on it. Make sure the print feed is taught. Silvering, wrinkles and...
  2. Need Help ILLUSTRATOR : TEMPLATE OVERLAP FOR DESIGN PURPOSE , HOW TO SEPARATE AFTER , I OFFER MONEY !

    Here's how you do it in illustrator. 1. Save a version of your original design (copy it off to the side or simply save a new document for print) This way you can go back to it if you mess up. 2. Create your bleed for every decal piece. If you are not cutting then skip this step. (Offset path for...
  3. Need Help Color issues with old HP L25500 and Onyx 10

    I would locate the original profile and replace your current one with it. It sounds like the profile was tweaked and if that' the only issue then just start with a fresh copy. Generally speaking you shouldn't need to run any additional calibrations with a profile unless you are using the profile...
  4. HP L25500 color dropping

    It sounds like one or more of your print heads may be overheating and turning off. The HP 260 (nearly the same printer just a newer name and firmware) actually warns you when stuff like this happens or is about to happen, but I've heard of other 25500 owners not getting notifications about this...
  5. Question Flexi 10.5 Export PDF Help

    It's a glitch. I have run into the same thing on new installations. Once you have set it (done nothing but clicked the button on and off) then you are good to go, but be sure to close Flexi to permanently set the change. FYI it still does it in version 12.
  6. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    You try hiding all colors know by using the filtering through View Filter.
  7. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    Happens to me all the time with older jobs built in Flexi7. Simply turn of "Show Fills" (Ctrl + F), select the old contour cut (it will be black in wireframe mode), then "ungroup all" and while still selected go to Arange/Contour Cut/Release Contour Cut, and then finally Create Contour Cut...
  8. What sign software does everyone use?

    And like I said before, I know the functionality is available in many other suites but it's the efficiency of those tasks out of the box which makes Flexi more efficient in my opinion. I have no doubt one can work around the limitations of their daily software (and I do) but for me it's all...
  9. What sign software does everyone use?

    I have used Corel, Freehand, and Omega in the past, and currently run Illustrator CC for ads, text rich art, and for saving art for output by a third party but I use Flexisign Cloud for all production. Flexi is in my mind the best design software available. It's not perfect, but it is the most...
  10. HP Latex 360 Printer cost per square foot?

    I agree with you however the topic was about HP Latex running cost, and I simply illustrated my experience and consideration for true cost. In my opinion, if you didn't factor in the incidentals then you are not getting an accurate overview of your costs. I use a multiplier for my cost when...
  11. Vehicle installation pricing

    Makes perfect sense. In my state this isn't the way we do it. I would prefer it the Texan way to be honest.
  12. Vehicle installation pricing

    You make a good point, and I have done my homework. I play within the rules, and I am offering two separate products by clearly separating them both at market value from the get go. There is no need to give the government more money than they have a right to so long as the rules define it as...
  13. Vehicle installation pricing

    I am a printer and installer so here is my take. I always write my invoices to my customer as Print (taxed) and Install Labor (non taxed) [CA] to save both of us from paying more to the franchise tax board than required. As a printer I know my target price and my target net profit so the...
  14. HP Latex 360 Printer cost per square foot?

    Here's my take on this. Obviously your mileage will vary, but in order to get a true cost you need to include all factors. This is includes summing cost per ml, and cost per KWH Ink $0.174 ml - I purchase at around $135 USD per 775 ml PH $0.143 ml - I pay about $95 USD per PH PHCK $0.01 ml - I...
