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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

I have a challenge on my hands here in that I have a customer that wants me to do a vinyl overlay on the front of his motorcycle fairing. I could spend hours tweaking a paper pattern to get the right pattern for cutting the vinyl to apply but I am hoping that somebody out there can steer me in a...

I just installed four fonts into my Windows Vista Font directory but they do not show up in Flexi at all and yes, I do have my preferences set to use that very directory as default in Flexi. I just upgraded to FlexiSIGN-PRO 10.5 two days ago and these are the first fonts I have attempted to add...

Is there any way to flatten an image in Flexi 10 Pro as you would in Photoshop? I am having trouble creating .PDF files to email as proofs without the layers sometimes messing up. The main problem is usually due to having text that has been outlined and the main text disappears leaving only the...

I am trying to create basically a wrap for a 13.5' X 7' trailer which is involving using graphics downloaded from the net. While I realize that there is nothing I can do to really clean up some of the graphics I have managed to find and use a lot of acceptable graphics. Now my biggest problem is...

I know that a back lit sign using cut vinyl that imitates a neon look is possible. I have seen a tutorial on it somewhere on line years ago but I cannot find any information on it. I do remember that it involves using a reverse cut layer on the back of 1/4" clear Plexiglas and a oversize layer...

I am looking for a premium clear cast vinyl in which to print on that can withstand a high heat application such as on the hood of a police cruiser. I tried printing on clear laminate and laminating that which worked at first but over the summer and a few high speed chases later, the decal is...

I would like very much to contact the person or persons directly involved in the creation and or updating the Roland VersaWorks software that we use for our VP-540 printer. Does anyone of you out there have this information and be willing to share it with me via a private message if necessary? I...

Using Flexi 10 Pro and I want to set a particular color to always be my default contour cut color every time. Is there any way to set the default color?

We have a VP-540 and lately the thing has had a lot of problems finding the alignment marks leading to a "Cropmark Not Found" error message. Now some of these sheets contain around 50 or so printed decals which might sit for a day or less before being laminated and put back in the machine for...

Does anyone know of a way to convert or match normal vendor's RGB and CMYK colors to Roland spot colors? I have been working for so long with vendor's colors but now I would like to know which of the Roland spot colors to match them up to. Some of the colors that I use were tweaked as RGB or...

Have any of you heard anything about using a Graphtec plotter/cutter to contour cut printed decals from a Roland VP-540? I hear that there is a software package available for such but I do not know where to find it or how it is used or if it exisists, does it work well or is it a pain to use.

Greetings all, I have been using Flexi for a while but now that am learning to use the Roland spot color system I am somewhat overwhelmed with the massive quantity of colors available to me. Now what I would like to know is if any of you have or know where I can find a condensed version for...
