  1. Material that will "stick" to cloth

    Arlon DPF 8000 could work. It will stick to about anything but seems to release from thick fabric. Obviously test it to make sure since all fabrics are different.
  2. Can't get 1 monitor back to "normal" after calibration

    Never mind. Found the monitors have a hidden button. For some reason when calibrating both monitors it went in and changed the settings within one monitor so brightness was turned down to 5/100 but only on the one. Not sure why the other monitor went back to normal and this one didn't but at...
  3. Can't get 1 monitor back to "normal" after calibration

    So I got some new monitors a few months ago and I never calibrated them. My buddy shows up with an x-rite colormunki and asks if I want to use it to calibrate my displays. I figure, sure, why not. But my right monitor isn't anywhere close to having white anymore. I would say at best it is...
  4. How to design a sign with Japanese writing on it?

    When doing a translation from Google, I copy and paste into Illustrator first since it recognizes the characters. Choose the font you like. Some customers like the block style lettering. Others prefer the script style. Once I have it in AI is save it in that format. Then I can open in...
  5. Flexi Pro 8 Scanner

    I use the TWAIN feature all the time in Flexi. Since I do a lot of projects for myself where I need something an exact size of the scan, the TWAIN Acquire feature works well. I don't always trust sizing when going to another format but doing it this way is spot on.
  6. Total Garbage!

    I feel your pain but it has been mostly good for me for the last 15 years (started with the Signwarehouse LXI version). I know the software better than other stuff I run so I stick it out when I have issues. But luckily they are few and far between since support does ABSOLUTELY SUCK! If you...
  7. Gap between test print passes

    Thanks all! I knew I had seen that before and made that adjustment was lost trying to find it in the service menu.
  8. Gap between test print passes

    I noticed some major streaks in a print yesterday so I did a test print. Had some magenta in my yellow. It's probably been years since I replaced a cap tops so figured it was time. Replaced both cap tops and color went back to normal. But noticed between passes on a test print there is a...
  9. flexi 12 print cut issue

    I think you may need to "compound" the holes into the main part of the decal so it knows it is cut out of it. Otherwise Flexi thinks you are printing that as just a circle. Or you can just select the "hole" and add the contour cut to it, then group all together. Essentially if the hole is...
  10. Bleed outline sometime hollow

    Any idea why sometimes Flexi randomly makes an outline hollow when I add bleed? See attachment. This doesn't happen all the time but randomly enough that it is time killer to fix it.
  11. Are you guys finding it harder and harder to actually talk to a customer?

    Every day for me: Customer sends an inquiry with minimal details. So I ask say 5 questions. They respond with 1 answer. So I reply back with the other 4 questions again. Get 1 answer. So I reply back with the last 3 questions then they get another idea that brings my total questions to...
  12. Suggestions Contour cut misaligned.

    How old are the machines? My hybrid machine was doing this and got worse and worse over the years. Replaced the wheels and it fixed it. Tracks awesome now.
  13. Suggestions Cardinal Red (Avery)?

    As others have said, if you don't have an accurate profile you won't get the results you want. So your best option is to print a huge chart of all your colors (or at least of your reds). I have a giant Roland color chart that I printed using my profile on my printer. It tells the color chart...
  14. Aurora Graphics blues print purple

    Been there. That is why I am so frustrated. I got everything else printing perfectly finally. But just these blue fills from Aurora are still driving me nuts. Don't want to screw up my entire profile just to print these. I guess I'll try and contact Grant to see what he says.
  15. Aurora Graphics blues print purple

    Well I tried converting over to CMYK and it made it WAY worse. It turned completely purple and looks all "washed out". Was hoping it would be a simple fix.
  16. Aurora Graphics blues print purple

    I know most will say this is an icc profile problem but I have my profile set what I feel is perfect for everything except the fill images I use from Aurora. While they are kind of a "royal" blue that has a slight tint of purple to them, when printing, they come out straight purple with only a...
  17. So familiar, Unique Y

    Anyone?
  18. Flexi 12 keeps crashing!

    I haven't noticed it crashing more than normal. To be honest, I have gotten in such a habit of restarting it so much so it doesn't crash that I can't remember the last time it caught me by surprise. I'm running Windows 10 with that exact same Flexi build.
  19. How do I cut without print&cut?

    This is really odd you can't just use the cut/plot button because it is grayed out. It would be the icon between the printer and the RIP/Cut icon. Just making sure you aren't looking at the "cut contour" to the right of the RIP icon. But see if this will work if so: Draw the letters as...
  20. LT/RT Pinchroll error/Invalid sheet/0.00" etc.

    Okay so I have started seeing numerous errors (see title) when starting the machine the last few days. Normally a few lifts off the lever to reset will get things going. Though sometimes it takes 10+ times for it to read the sheet size. Seems to be getting worse. What I have noticed is that...
