Hi all! I'm trying to find a good rule of thumb on when to default to polycarbonate faces and f-retainers versus acrylic and jewelite, beyond the general rule of 3-4' letter height. Can anyone share knowledge or experiences that influence your decisions on when to spec either of these? Thank...

Hi all! My shop just got a Mimaki CJV 150-300 with Rasterlink 6. I've done a lot of large format printing on Rolands but this is a new setup for me. My problem is that any PMS colors that are assigned in the artwork do not come out close to the actual colors- they are mostly too dark and...

Hi all! Can anyone help me ID this font (12) or suggest some similar ones? thank you!!

Hi all, can anyone point me in the direction of this font? It looks like Bank gothic but is more bold/condensed than any variety i can find. thanks!!SaveSave

Good morning, In Flexi, does anyone know whether there is a way to format the text in the dimension tool to be in fractions, rather than decimals? Similar to how corel's dimension tool can be set to Architectural, Engineering, fractional, etc? I can't seem to find any info at all! Perhaps...

This one is stumping me this morning and I feel like it should be easy? Hope it is for someone else!

Hi folks! Hoping someone can help me out with what I feel should be a fairly simple thing but it's stumping me. I'm trying to produce art for 300+ apartment unit numbers that will be reverse printed and applied 2nd surface. I've done a lot of digital printing but never had a job using this many...

Hi all! I have a partial roll of digital media paper that prints AWESOME. It's a satin/semigloss finish, medium to heavy weight paper, printed with a Roland Soljet pro XR640. The problem is someone else ordered it and I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help me identify it by the marks inside...

Good morning all- i've read through the forum archives and apparently this is a somewhat common problem D: I installed a wall decal job on Dec. 17th and customer just emailed to let me know that the decals are peeling up! These were contour cut printed decals, some ±1" text, not laminated...

Scratching my head on this, but I feel like it will be an obvious one.... Any ideas, kind folks? Thanks

Hey all! I'm trying to print on a roll of DPF 6500 and I've tried several Versaworks profiles but am not getting good print quality. I'm printing on a Soljet Pro4 xr640 with Versaworks. My question is 2-fold: If the media's past the shelf life, will the print quality be degraded pretty badly...

I have a Roland Soljet SR640. We bought it new last year and I have had an intermittant, inconsistent problem with cutting material after laminating using the crop marks in versaworks. 9 times out of 10 jobs would come out fine- the 10th would be WAYYYY off in the scan direction, and i would...

Good morning all, i'm hoping someone can help me figure out a matte black vinyl to use for a temporary wall graphic installation. The wall was recently repainted with "SHERWIN - WILLIAMS HARMONY ZERO VOC INTERIOR ACRYLIC LATEX FLAT" paint and I want to make sure the vinyl sticks and lasts, and...

Hi folks! The printer that I took over for insisted on using a matte laminate with translucent graphics, and gloss for just about everything else. He said that the matte finish made up for the muddled look of the translucent print. That seemed to be his only reason. Our project manager sticks by...

Hey folks, i'm a little confused on what PVC versus non-pvc film. For example 3M Envision 8548G is a non-pvc film. Is it OK to use with both cast and calandered digitally printed media? can someone explain the differences and applications? I'm using calendered media for our opaque and...

Hey guys, I know versaworks can make a perf cut pattern. Has anyone used this on paper to make a pounce pattern for a mural? I had a customer come in wanting a pounce pattern for some large lettering he is going to paint himself. Can anyone share info or experience on the best way to produce...

Hi all, i'm using Roland versaworks with an xr-640 printer, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the printer/versaworks to detect the length of sheet media. The printer will roll it out and stop at the end, but Versaworks still doesn't display the length, only the width. Not sure if this is a...

... the little designation under everyone's names??? Mine says "college freshman," some say "college senior," some say "phD", some say "Preppie" or "Premium Subscriber." Is this based on number of posts or responses? This has confused me for years. thought i would finally ask....

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me figure out how to get a .job file from production manager to edit it? I forgot to save the artwork but the .job file is still there. When I right-click and go to edit>Flexi 8.2, nothing opens in Flexi. Has anyone had this and how did you work around it?
