The idea of having hot folders is that the jobs dropped in are not actually stored after printing, they are dumped. You can set it to do so but we've found no need for it cluttering up the HD. You can also save more commonly reprinted items. You already have a copy in the the "design pc" if you...

Drives me nuts when someone uses photoshop to design knowing it will have to be "shape-cut" at some point. Why on earth would you do such a thing! Design all elements in your favorite VECTOR program. If you want to incorporate any photoshop effects/trickery that's fine. Once your shape/text is...

We have two stand alone computers for two separate RIP programs (Colorspan for our dinosaur Colorspan & Flexi Production Manager for our HP360) - Flexi is set up with a "hot folder" shared on our network. Our designers export their files to the hot folder and our print guy can manage them all...

Exactly what we do. Good explanation.

Wow!All the more reason not to use it.

It's not a Corel limitation. It imports back into Corel with no problems. Scaling 50% smaller solved part of my issues. I had to use a combination of Acrobat Pro and illy to get it straightened out!

I'm designing a tradeshow display at full scale in Corel X7. Size with crop marks is 221"w x 108"h. When I make a pdf for the third party they inform me that the file comes in at 200"w x .... I figured they're probably using adobe. Sure enough when I open the pdf in illy it's cutting it off. I...

We've had this same issue for years except the line only runs parallel with the hole punch. And always in the same area with all foils. Like a dead spot in the heating element or something. Ruins the whole row of decals in that region.

Beaufort Bold?

No, sounds like you mean clipart discs. You already have software to cut with. Tons of em out there. Just need to make sure the file types are editable i.e. eps, cgm, ai, cdr, wmf. Most of Aurora graphics are designed in photoshop and not editable. only some have separate vector cut lines.

Let me get this straight.You export or save as AI or Eps it won't open in illy? What version of illy?

We've found it very difficult to get a good red with the 360. We're using CMYK and light magenta/light cyan. Someone suggested to create a profile that only uses CMYK and we should get better reds but I can't convince my print guy to try anything. Another suggestion was to decrease the amount of...

Thanks all. Not sure where this job ended up. We've printed many shades of color on the 3M reflective with no problems. I'm not sure why the question is even being brought up. I suspect the customer isn't aware that we can print any color on white. When the most knowledgeable salesperson is out...

Anyone have any success printing on 3M Gold Reflective material? We've only printed on 3m White Reflective and it works great but catalog says only the white is printable. We're using an HP 360 Latex with no white ink. Yeah, I know the colors may come out wonky but I think the plan is to print a...

Have to use translucent foils

The way I understand it after talking again to the tech is that it's in between jobs. He sends one and as it's printing sends another and goes to lunch. It pauses after the first print and doesn't continue to the next print. Says it rips but will not continue unless you move the mouse.

How we use Flexi Print Production Manager Open CorelDraw file using workstaion 1, export to Flexi Print Production Manager hot folder on RIP Station located in another area of the building. Print tech manages all print jobs from there. I too, believe it has something to do with power settings...

Although we don't use Flexi for design or sending files to print we do use the Flexi Print Production Manager to set prints up. Sometimes a print will pause/stop and won't continue until you wiggle the mouse. Win7 with no screensaver set. Anyone else experienced this? Maybe a mouse driver issue?

I often get pdf's for print and always import them into corel for proofing and to set the correct size. I'm amazed at the number of third party designers who use "PANTONE Process Black C" and "Overprint fill". Don't they know Process Black computes to C0 M0 Y0 K0 100. We never use that formula...
