I noticed my print and cut jobs on my Mimaki JV100-160 would print at different lengths even when I send the same job twice. One cut job would be on register and then the next way off. Now I print a measurable bar on the print job so I can see if it's printing short or long and adjust my plotter...

I have a similar plotter using the USB to Parallel cable on Flexi and it works fine. Choose the USB port in flexi options. I little trial and error because there so many USB ports listed. But once you find the right one it works fine.

In Flexi 19 For 1. Edit-Preferences-Tool Tab- Select Tool - Check By Fully Enclosing. Not sure on Flexi 13

I adjust my laminator so when the rolls are down there is still a small gap between the rollers. I can slide a thin paper between them. Rolls don't even turn unless I have a vinyl and laminate running through them. Seems to cure any of the boat waking or waving.

I use a different printer but sometimes under Color settings, Rendering intent, Pure Hue red when checked makes a nicer red than using a profiled red.

Buy some 30" material to use just for your 30" cutter seems the easiest way.

Used to have similar problem on a Seiko Colorpainter using Onxy 10. I switch out the 20' USB supplied cable with a 6' USB cable and never had the problem again.

Happened to my magenta line once. There was an air leak. Mine was solved by just tightening the lines going into the head. If you move the carriage to the left of the machine like you were changing the print head height, you can get access to the print head pretty easily. The shield should pull...

You made it around 5 months longer than me. They offered me a $600 upgrade to v12 or $50 / month subscription with two months free. I ended up taking the subscription. Until I find a better solution for print and cut jobs I'll keep it. It sucks though because there's not much difference between...

Sometimes it's easiest just to rasterize the image Bitmap -> Rasterize. Make the background transparent Bitmap -> Make transparent. Then select Effect -> Contour Cut to make contour outline.

This happened to my 8.6 version, too. Support gave me an option of a $600 upgrade to 12 or a slight discount on their cloud version.

I don't really use the design and print functions anymore, just the vinyl cutting options. So $600 for a vinyl cutting software seems pretty steep to me. Any suggestions on a vinyl cutting program that can read crop marks for print and cut?

My options are a $600 upgrade to v12 or a $50 /month subscription. Ugh!

This is the reply I got: Thank you for writing into SA International Flexi software. We apologize for the inconveniences you have had with the soft key server. This is an older technology. We have been working really hard to find a solution but have not had success. The parts needed can no...

No, It's an old Vinyl Express plotter which I think has a Mutoh body. I did lose the ability to communicate with the plotter in both directions, though. I can send info to it but I can't poll information from it like vinyl width. I have to enter that manually.

I'm running a plotter with Flexi 8 using a USB to Parallel cable on Windows 7. The port setup is named USB_Printer if that helps.

I called them up. Their server was down for awhile.

Anyone else getting a Flexi Server Error today? I can't open my program and it tells me to contact SAI support group whatever that is. Using version 8.5.

Pretty sure it's the paint. Google applying vinyl to Low VOC or Zero VOC paint. Regular vinyl just doesn't stick well to that stuff. An alcohol wipe is recommended but be careful because that can leave streaks on the paint. Test an area first.

You need to add more tension on the top roll. Since the material is reverse wound the top roll is rotating in the opposite direction. You may have to flip the top roll holder so the top roll has some tension and is not spinning loosely. I'm not sure if that's possible with that laminator though...
