  1. New Epson and rip setup, Onyx (gamaprint) 22 keeps crashing!

    Hi, we just purchased a new Epson S40, and Onyx Gamaprint 22 was bundled with it; I'm coming from a Mutoh/FlexiPro combo for about 13 years, so I feel like a total newbie again now, lol... I followed installation instructions best I could (somewhat vague / didn't match up) and the printer IS...
  2. Vinyl graphics on matte paint?

    Unfortunately I'm not finding any information at all on this subject...I have a possible job for a charter bus, for graphics/stripes etc.......but fresh out of the body shop, they just re-painted it in satin black. In my little bit of experience I'm a bit leery of applying long-term decals on...
  3. Contour cut window perf?

    Is it acceptable / appropriate to contour cut window perf, vs. covering the whole window? Pardon the ignorant / bit of a newbie question, I am just wondering of the possibilities of it to save time and labor, for a customer's logo that will only take up ~1/4 of the window. I have never really...
  4. Buying Corel on eBay? Why the price difference?

    After finally fixing to upgrade computers from Win7 to 10 Pro (sadly), it's time to probably update from CorelDraw X4 too. One can upgrade from Corel.com today yet for $159.00, or you can get a "genuine" copy on ebay for $10. (really any software for that matter) :O Has anyone purchased an...
  5. Simple macro to create bounding box? CDX4

    I've been doing the old fashioned way to create a bounding box (for plotting), and I always thought it would be great to have a simple (even temporary) macro to simplify this. I have a bunch of uniquely shaped graphics on a file, that I would like to add, say 1/2" etc. larger...
  6. Bad potentiometer/color change sensor or needs resetting? How?

    This is probably a pretty technical question... I changed out the reciprocator on a friend's embroidery machine the other night. The machine is a Yamata/Ricoma 12-needle single head. Perhaps somewhat out of ignorance, though I kept the head on needle 12 while changing, I did (while the...
  7. Replaced VJ1204 head.....now yellow will not flow solid thru lines? (bubbles)

    I just replaced our vj1204 printhead, the black was partially clogged and the head was over probably 5 years old. However with the new head, now during cleaning, yellow line(s) will pull ink through a little bit, then feed back to where it originally started. At first it seemed like a vacuum...
  8. Switched from 10.0 to 10.5, now colors don't reproduce right with same profiles??

    Long story short, I upgraded to 10.5 from 10.0 (sign-pro). Rather than redownload and customize the printer/icc profiles, I just copied and pasted from the old 10.0 folder (under Windows' Program Files) into the new 10.5 folder.......I did it for the .icc profiles and my predefined saved media...
  9. Replacement dongle for $235!? Or upgrade to Flexi Pro 11/12?

    The dongle on our Flexi Pro 10.5 partially fried a while back, and after calling SAI, was given a price of $235 to replace it!! Would have been a timed replacement, until they receive our "bad" key back. This was now over a 1.5 years ago, I've just "put up" with it because it runs for so long...
  10. Magnum magnets flying off vehicles

    I'm having problems with Magnum Digi-Mag magnets flying off vehicles. Has anybody had problems with this? It is the Digi-Mag, .030 24" rolls. We print/laminate/apply to the magnet. This has happened twice now, first was with several 8" ROUND magnets, second time (just now) with 12" x 18" magnets...
  11. Best vinyl / printing method for plastic chemical bottles?

    I am needing to print some chemical description/ratings labels for plastic bottles. They will need to be chemical- and/or acid-resistant (to what degree I don't know but will assume pretty strong). Would prefer to simply inkjet print on Oracal 3651 and laminate with Oraguard 210 as I do for...
  12. Matte gold - 2 issues with Summa DC4?

    I have had a roll of Matte Gold foil now for well over a year now and am just now getting to use it for first time! (have a small job that needs it) But.....I have two issues with the DC4. First, I put the roll in a cassette and the DC4 will not recognize it ("invalid color ID"), and second...
  13. Flexi 10 problems running on Windows 7 Pro

    I have more problems as well running Flexi Pro 10.0.1 on Win 7 Pro 64bit. I just recently upgraded from XP, and now the Flexi security dongle will randomly connect & disconnect (like when plugging it in), up to about every second or two, and once started will keep on until I unplug it. One day...
  14. DC4 not recognizing Optitrac marks

    I've been having problems with several recent jobs. Yesterday it printed a 40" job (on 54" vinyl), and on the very last band it decided it couldn't read the cyan Optitrac marks. 40" of vinyl and ribbon wasted. :noway: I am using Summa's clear vinyl, and used to use white ribbon as the Optritrac...
  15. Flexi Pro 8.5v2 to 8.6 upgrade?

    We're running Flexi Pro 8.5v2 at the moment and were thinking about upgrading to Flexi 10, as one of the companies we buy from has an excellent price right now. BUT.... the upgrade (at the special price) is for 8.6 users, though we can see it they'll take 8.5 as well. So my question is....is...
  16. Lines/gaps in Intense Red - DC4

    Hi all - I'm still having problems with Intense Red in particular when printing on the Summa (3M) clear vinyl. Every print I do (so far of one design) the first pass is awful - somewhat angled lines all the way across the print. Some are 3" or so (general width of the foil), some are as small as...
  17. Lost my spot colors!!!

    Hi folks - I was trying to edit my Summa color palette the other day, add some colors, etc., and I clicked on the option "Show color name" (a menu option when right clicking on a color). Soon as I disabled it, the palette disappeared! Out of curiosity (:doh:) I tried it on Corel's standard...
  18. DC4 -- printing individual C/M/Y/K?

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to print just ONE of the process colors from CDX4 to the DC4. I have the (I believe correct) palette in Corel, but C, M, Y, or K are not in the list. Is there a way to get them there? (besides changing color code in ColorControl) Also, I have some "strange"...
  19. VJ 1204 - icc profies for paper/cardstock

    Curious if anyone knows if or where I can find ICC profiles for posters, etc. kind of like heavy gloss laser paper. Tried running a sheet of it through our 1204 using Oracal 3651G output settings, it looked more down the line of an oil painting...... Is it at all possible to print on this type...
  20. VJ 1204 -- yellow printing more than yellow?

    Does anyone know why my 1204 prints magenta and cyan as well as yellow in a fill that's supposed to be all yellow?? I'm trying to match an off white, and in doing some test fills, I designed several fills, some of which I assigned 3 - 15% yellow fills, no C, M, or K. I'm using Flexi Pro 8.5...
