  1. Cyan ink won't print

    I would suggest replacing the new damper. You can get one that's bad from the start. Cheaper than paying for that travel time.
  2. Flexi 8.5 w/ Graphtec FC-9000 compatibility?

    Also, because its Flexi 8.5, SAi won't honor it as an upgrade because there were too many versions in-between. Best to do a subscription to version 22 so it supports whatever new machinery you purchase if you don't want to use the software that comes with the Graphtec.
  3. Here's a funny layout request.

    Having worked as a military contractor almost 20 years ago, this is true. Only save for me was that I was hired as a graphic designer and would "template" any PPT presentations before they were sent out and I could also have CorelDraw and Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator on my machine, since I also...
  4. Not looking to badge"r"...

    One would think but as the Department already has the badge on at least a dozen of their cars, the differences are a bit glaring. (1) different eagle on top (2) there are 4 bands of entering information, where I need only 3 (3) different artwork. Like you mentioned before, either I need to...
  5. Not looking to badge"r"...

    Yes, found some that were close but no cigar. I may have to come with a few alternates and have the Department decide.
  6. Not looking to badge"r"...

    Was looking to see if anyone has come across where I could find this same police badge. If I wasn't doing it for a department with an established badge / shield in use, I'd use one I have already. Even pointing me in the right direction to purchase this vector art is appreciated. Help!
  7. Need Help This banding has stumped me. s80600

    In many cases, the head is most likely failing. You clean it and get a good nozzle check, but then the head begins to clog when it hasn't being purged after only a few minutes into a print. A DX-7 is about $2.4k and installation [if you do not know how to do this yourself]. The Epson S80600 is...
  8. RIP Software Suggestions

    Still running Flexi, ver 22 on a perpetual version. Call SAi, and ask the salesperson how to upgrade or purchase a perpetual version of FlexiSign. Upgrading from 19 to 22 for FlexiSign&Print is like $1100 and FlexiDesigner is about $800.
  9. ONYX Thrive 18.5 Duplicate File different output

    Using ONYX Thrive 18.5 and having a problem with a pdf file. I take an old PDF file that was created over a year ago, open it in AI and delete a part of the artwork. I resave it under a new name without changing any of the presets in the file save. I next open it in OT and see that the color...

  11. Ambulance Reflective Vinyl

    I am printing on an HP or one of Mutohs and cutting on a ValueCut 1800 or S-One D160. I never have a problem with it dragging and I also set my registration marks for 4-point positioning, so it only cuts 18" lengths at a time. I find that Oracal is too dark for "their" white and Arlon takes too...
  12. Bright green color code - Mutoh 1324X

    The best color I've used in the past is PMS 375 or 376, depending on the profile you have.
  13. Bright green color code - Mutoh 1324X

    Oracal also makes an Apple Green, although I do not know if it's been discontinued due to pandemic supply.
  14. Ambulance Reflective Vinyl

    The back can be done in 3M 983 Diamond Grade vinyl. Note that it is expensive ($300 6"x150' US) and stiff. It can be applied once with no Controltac properties. For something easier for the chevrons, use Oralite™ V92 or V98 read and florescent green. It's a little more expensive ($425 6"x150'...
  15. Question Printing in Onyx and getting wrong colors

    Unfortunately, the 7am-330p uses Flexi 19 for HP with only output to the HP cutter, output for the printer is Onyx Thrive only. It is weird as the problem is intermittent, and I believe with spot colors only. the black is CMYK black (the alternative to RGB Black: 0,0,0) and made into a spot the...
  16. Question Printing in Onyx and getting wrong colors

    Sent you the files I printed via work email.
  17. Question Printing in Onyx and getting wrong colors

    Color change only happens when I add a CutContour line on the graphic. This isn't the only time it's happened but I hate to send something to the printer, walk away, only to find the color shifted. Doesn't happen when I print at home on my Mutoh printers with Flexi's Production Manager.
  18. Question Printing in Onyx and getting wrong colors

    I've had this happen at various times using ONYX Thrive; I'll print a file that I already made samples for without a contour line and when I apply one, it will completely change the output color. Attached is a sample of what I mean. The color swatches above show the correct color in the two...
  19. Why Are There So Many HP Latex Printers For Sale?

    I've been doing about 2 rolls a week for the last 6 months, but Im not sure what theyve done the previous 3 years before I signed on. My point was that the owner became over-cautious in doing a SMK-3 when the machine just needed a trailing cable and an FCA board, besides a good cleaning on ink...
  20. Why Are There So Many HP Latex Printers For Sale?

    In most cases, by the time you are ready for SMK1, the printer will no longer be supported by HP and it will time for an upgrade. Using a 560 Latex at a location. 3 years old and it's at 47% to an SMK3. I spew 2 rolls of material a week through it mainly IJ680CR white reflective. I've had the...
