  1. RBW-1500 question

    Question regarding this welder. I know its not the best and have struggled since day 1 with it. Got it mostly sorted out and working except for some reason the banner will stick to the lower belt upon exiting and start to bunch up. Not every time but more often then not. I have turned the heat...

  3. xc 540 cyan issue

    Hello all xc540 users. Tonight my prints started banding in the cyan range of colors. Did a test print and the cyan head was missing about 6 nozzles. Did a medium cleaning then the test print got worse. Had a set of dampners so I changed them. If I print a 100% cyan block it starts out for the...
  4. newb .tiff question

    If a client sends you a .tiff file is it editable in any way as far as moving objects around in the file or will it remain non editable? I have a large .tiff file sent to me that I need to remove some elements from to use in illustrator. Was hoping they are editable somehow so I dont have to cut...
  5. Making a font look a certain way with ILLY

    Hey all, I am trying to recreate a font effect that someone did and I am having trouble with it when I warp it. The font looks to be done with just offset paths. Problem is with the gradient for the font color. Once I create the look and then warp it the gradient changes and the center section...

  8. versa works and corrupt pdf

    Anyone know or had this happen before? Anytime I save a file from Illustrator as a .PDF and try to load it into versa it says corrupt file. No drop shadows, transparencys, just a gradient. Never had this with pdf files.
  9. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    I have a rather large file in Illy that has alot of effects in it and a gradient background. All vector no raster images. This is where I start to get lost. Would it be better to scale it way down and then tell the rip to upsize it OR would it be better to build it at full size, flatten and...
  10. illustrator gradient question

    Not sure how to accomplish this as I dont use gradients much but in this instance I need to. This is probably a easy task for most. I have a rectangle with a 4 color gradient in it. dark blue, blue, yellow and red. The problem is between the blue and yellow there is a natural area of green. How...
  11. Needing opinions on the best way to accomplich this

    Hello all, I have a client that wants floor graphics printed with a 4" border. I hate borders because if the piece isnt perfect then the border looks bad. Hopefully I can explain this well enough. He has 6 plywood framed bases that are 5ft wide and in the shape of a basketball court freethrow...
  12. XC540 sheet cut question/issue

    HEy all, My 540 has started to not completely cut through the sheet when sheet cutting. The carriage goes all the way to the left (it seems) and the bar is pushed to put the blade down but is just seems there isnt enough pressure or the bar isnt getting pushed in enough to actually drop it down...
  13. Possible script or easy way?

    Is there a script out there that can take a odd shaped design in Illy and calculate the SQ FT? I work with some REALLY weird shapes and have to calculate the sq ft. It can be a pain in the *ss sometimes. Looking to make life easier! Thanks
  14. How to accomplish this with Illy?

    In the attached example there is a purple border around a JPG. Is there a way to make the border gradually fade into the picture on the inside edge of the border. Want the outside edge to remain full opacity. I am guessing with a transparent gradient but if the border is all one shape is there a...

  17. another illy question

    Not sure if this is possible or what the easiest way to do it is. I seem to struggle with it. Lets say you have 4 panels 8"x8" each (rectangle paths) and you need these rectangles to all be lined up next to each other with a gap of like 2" between them. You then have a 50"x50" image or vector...
  18. Whats causing this?

    Attached is a picture of a print I am having trouble with. You can see in the left mainly and the center along the top there is some green areas. The green has a hard edge to it so to me its got to be in the file. The file is a vector that fills the shape and then a image layed on top of the...
  19. 8600 error

    My 8600 has decided it will not cross cut. The head goes through the motions but the knife never comes down to cut it and then it displays Error E05005. EDIT: Problem solved. I am blind................

    Hello, Normally we dont do vehicle wraps. We have done 4 so far and they are not printed wraps. Just 3m colored. I have a family member that is wanting to wrap his Viper in blue chrome. I noticed that on the viper the hood and the fenders (behind the wheels) are all one piece. Meaning the...
