I appreciate your advice. I never got proficient with AI back in the day. I was pretty much hard core Flexi but then I was never in the big leagues in sign making. I only worked in small town sign shops which was never into much more than printed vinyl on a Roland VP-540 printer. That is why I...

Thanks to all of you for your help. I admit that I am very rusty in working with Flexi as well as Photoshop. I did create a shape in Flexi and export is as an .eps file and that worked great. I was for some reason thinking that I had to export the file as a .png file. Photoshop handled the .eps...

Thanks for letting me know that. I really wanted to ask a question about using Flexi. I found that thread and was able to ask my question. All is well.

Since I retired from sign making, I have found a different use for my Flexi skills in that I want to create custom shapes to export to Photoshop 7. I am using Flexi 10 Pro and I have been trying to figure out how to create round or curved shapes that I can export to Photoshop that would then be...

I'll just stick to my old Roland PNC-1000 plotter cutter. :rolleyes: I like that it sounds like R2-D2. No, really on the Cricut thing... makes me think about that saying about leading a horse to water. :)

The use of application fluid always did the trick for me. I literally never had any bubbles that were showing after the vinyl application when using it. If by chance there was a small bubble resulting from a speck of dust or dirt then the fluid made lifting the vinyl to remove the object much...

Although I registered with this forum in 2009, I have been away for a number of years but I am back and need answers to some questions. I want to post questions in the "How To" section but see a message of (You have insufficient privileges to post here.) Am I under the newbie waiting period or what?

Yes they are workhorses for sure. Took me a while yesterday to get it running with Flexi PRO and Windows 7 but I am using it. I just want to know really how to reset the origin point using the cursor keys instead of having to manually reinstall the vinyl after each cut.

Hi to all, I am in dire need for an owners and or service manual for the Roland PNC-1000 CAMM-1 plotter cutter. I searched this forum and have done a google search with no results so far. If anyone has a .pdf copy to share or can direct me to a download site I would be most grateful. Have a...

WOOHOO!!! Success!! Thanks Bobby!!! You are the man. :U Rock: Switched to "MODE 2" using the "ROLAND USB001" connection setting and it now works. Like I always say..."Endeavor To Persevere". Thanks for everybody's help again!!!!!

WOW! Thanks guys for the much needed help. The only ports that respond are the Roland USB001 port and the USB_PRINTER_0 port. I had not tried "Mode 2" and I am using the USB "SafeNet Sentinel dongle that came with my LXI software I bought back in 2009. I am using FLexiSIGN PRO 10.5 which I...

No error messages. In the Production Manager setup, I have tried every option available (Com 1-8, LPT 1,2,3 and USB settings) as far as the connection setup goes but my PNC-1000 just does not seem to want to communicate with Flexi. Ther were two settings that made the printer start up but it was...

I am trying to set up my laptop (Windows 7) to run an old Roland PNC-1000 cutter using Flexi PRO 10.5 via an USB to Parallel cable. No luck yet getting the two to communicate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am using FlexiSIGN PRO 10.5.1 and recently I have noticed that if the built in spell checker does not recognize a word and I tell it to add it to the user dictionary it does not remember or store the word. Even if the same word show up again in the same Flexi file page it is underlined as if...

Ok, a while back I made a post talking about "Flattening" images in Flexi 10 PRO. I got lots of good feedback but I still have the same problem. No matter what I try to do to "Export" a file into whatever format albeit .eps, .jpg, .pdf or whatever, if there are ANY imported graphics involved...

Well after trying every way to revive my USB connection with my FC7000MK2-75 machine we ordered a serial cable and went the RS-232 route and it worked. Obviously, the USB and the Serial ports are separated on the main board just enough to shield one from another in case of a spike or whatever...

Flashing Firmware Well I downloaded all files including the driver update. I installed the driver update without any problems but the firmware flashing is being difficult. I followed the instructions to the letter but when the pop up window (Data File Output Utility Ver.2.08) comes up it is...

Firmware Flashing Hi Jim, Thanks for the suggestion! I'll let you know if it works.

Our FC7000MK2-75 is not responding to poll size, or the send command suddenly. This development came after a pretty violent thunderstorm one evening late. The unit was left on overnight but the PC that it is connected to via USB cable and protected by an APC brand UPS unit was off. Tried several...

About that Wrapcut tape. I had never heard of the "Wrapcut" tape but that is too cool! Where can I find that stuff? And Thank You very much for that suggestion. :notworthy:
