Thats what its supposed to be... why does it come out to over 40" long when i open it in flexi? I will have the sign shop give it to me in another format.

I have a set shape I need to duplicate, but I am not the best in photoshop, so I gave the real image to a local sign shop who I have become friendly with to help me out. Im working with flexi 8.1 and he asked me what format to send it to me in, i said jpeg (right decision?) When I bring it...

Juror... Thanks a lot man... I am not sure what exactly I did to screw this all up, but I changed the "material" to user defined and made it 24"x 50" (i use 24" vinyl and 50" is long enough) Then hit the auto panel... For some reason it had the image scaled down really small, to 4% or so of...

The panel size it is letting me change, but the tile size is what it wont let me enlarge... As a result, its plotting it off the side of the roll...

My vinyl is on a 24" roll... I just want it on one panel, but for some reason it is giving me a much smaller panel size that I dont remember how to change. I dont remember how to shift the rulers over to the image and I think that is part of the problem, but i believe the biggest issue is the...

Hey guys... I focus on a specific type of vinyl cutting and application... I had my templates all set and I havent used flexi in a while as a result, i was just plotting plotter ready files from the production manager. I tried to make a small adjustment to one of my templates, and now I...

Any ideas?

I cant seem to figure out how to convert a basic flexi file (fs) to photoshop... Any help? TIA I tried to attach it to this post but it wont let me... pls send me a PM and I will send it to you via email.

Thanks for the help guys, i think the easiest option (albeit not the most cost effective) is going to be getting it scanned... Im just trying to figure out what to google for... "blueprinters"? architect services? lol... Staples wants something around $7 a sq ft to scan stuff!

Thanks fred, sorry about that. I took another picture... still not working right...

Hey guys, i have drawn out on paper a design i want to be able to cut. From what i have read, if i take a photo of the shape, with a ruler for scale, i should be able to scale it in adobe, and then be able to vectorize it. Im hitting some issues from the get-go, one being that when i scale...

I have an altima coupe... and i got my plotter working!

I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from, and that you are "schooling" me... Idk im a member of several other forums one of which I am a moderator, and i just felt like i was being attacked for being new. But if someone "has the answers" i thought thats what this forum is...

I dont see an option for a generic HPGL driver... are you saying to pick any one thats HPGL? or is there supposed to be a "generic" option in the list...

I am starting it as a hobby (not that im taking it lightly, its just that i am doing this out of genuine interest in making custom work) and if i am lucky enough to be able to amass enough business that it is worth full time, so be it. True, im going to probably pick them up... damn it, why...

How can i get MY plotter to show up though? is there something i need to download?

Vinylman... i find your post to be offensive. A forum is ALL ABOUT jumping the "learning curve" Its not my fault you learned in a different era, but the purpose of the internet, and a SIGNMAKERS forum for that matter is to HELP others, or to LEARN... apparently you are so skilled you dont need...

im still having trouble with my plotter when i try to send jobs to it in project manager it says cutting but the plotter doesn't do anything the percent bar keeps going up as if the computer things its beging cut but nothings actually happening in the setup it has a long list of manufactures and...
