  3. Lxi Master Plus 11 (Flexi) Export issue. HELP PLEASE!!!!

    When exporting files for others to print I send it as a jpg. 72dpi at full size or a little bigger. If it's text were I know the colors won't shift then eps or and ai will work. Every program will interpret the colors differently, and his profile in his RIP is no different. Flatten it...

  12. vinyl express q130 cutter head tensioin

    I would get in touch with SWH or go through Graphtec and see what they say. My guess would be some loose screws that need some attention.

  16. Changeable permit option on small construction site signs

    Absolutely not but the customer wanting to use duct tape on a new sign does. They asked what the long term after effects are with the duct tape and the 210G laminate. Would the duct tape pull the laminate off, I don't think so but will not guarantee that. I figured there would be a better way...
