  1. Signlab files to flexi

    I have a customer who sends me jobs to print in sign lab. They often come through as wireframes. But they are vector and can be changed. It’s a bit of a pain but not too hard. Sometimes .ai has a black box around it. Just hit unmask.
  2. does anyone clear the edges of sign gold?

    Always. I tested sogn gold without edge sealing on a sign of ours and it lasted about ten years though. Then it pretty much disintegrated around the edges. It is my least favorite part of the job but it works
  3. LOADED question: What do you charge for printing?

    I charge 10-12 a sq ft laminated hp, $8 a sq ft laminated calendared. I don’t sell unlaminated prints. I also don’t sell a lot of calendared.
  4. Mutoh VJ 628 Changing cap top

    VJ 1624X here. 5 yes old. My black nozzle check has looked like that for a few years. Prints fine. Just had a new maintenance station professionally installed. We both agreed it was a non issue. Prints are fine. You can be missing a few nozzles still ok.
  5. font id please?

    Thank you! It was a rush job so I actually had do digitize the darned thing. Was a pain. But I'll download that font for the future.
  6. font id please?

    looked so familiar...but can't find it
  7. Really getting bored now

    Counting myself as lucky so far. I have quite a few boat lettering jobs lined up, and a few large signs for a company who changed their logo. I can do everything by email, then show up and letter the boats when the weather warms up. I can just drop off the signs, not even go inside, and email...
  8. ARMS Help Please

    Make sure you have it set for four marks. But you can also call Graphtec, their support is excellent. Also, sometimes turning it off and on helps. Make sure you have updated firmware and drivers, their website is very easy to get them from, shows videos on how to update. One more thing, your...
  9. Newbie deciding when to take a leap

    When you buy your own printer , it really opens up your design options. I can be a lot more creative when I can do a quick print to see what it looks like first. I used to sub out everything. I wasn’t always happy with the result. I also feel that I am spending so much less time working with...
  10. Discussion Which printer do I buy?

    I bought a Mutoh 1624 last spring. I’ve been very happy with it. The 1000ml inks last a long time and there is little waste. The cost was reasonable. It’s a big printer though. It does take space.

    I've been online looking since I posted this. I already have Cabernet pro, doesn't have the swash. I'm having a heck of a time finding the Swash Cabernet to download! Keeps reverting to the JF pro I already have. I'll keep trying.Thanks!!!!
  12. Need Help please help with font

    I've tried a dozen font identifiers. This almost looks familiar, like an old font from the past. Customer found it on a website that I always find hard to deal with...because they seem to delight in changing the names of the fonts. I thought of Caslon, Tiffany, etc, but no match for those...
  13. Question looking for advice for a first time digital printer purchase

    I was pretty much in the same position this time last year. My gripe was that I did not have enough control over my designs. Also, I do a lot of boat lettering, and often a boat is sold one day and launched the next, no time to order a print, and it was really cramping my design style. This...

  15. Need Help font id

    Does anybody know this font? It seems as though I should know it, but came up empty handed when I searched. thanks!
  16. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    Closed flexi, tried again, and it worked. Ha. This is driving me crazy. I wonder if there's an update that fixes this. Feels like a glitch to me.
  17. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    Yea. Must be a communication problem. Even a simple file won't work.
  18. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    Tried that. This time it said no cutter found cutlines will be omitted. Never saw that before or maybe it disappeared too fast. This is an off again on again problem. I can get it to work, then it stops working.
  19. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    In a few larger files, those with images, the production manager is not recognizing contour cuts. It will print the reg marks, but the plotter file to cut is blank. No contour cut. I have a (2017) Graphtec CE6000 120. And a Mutoh 1624. The flexi version is the mutoh version this year. (10...
  20. Question looking for advice for a first time digital printer purchase

    I was in the exact same place as you are 6 months ago. I was all set to purchase a Roland 30 print and cut. There were some promotional sales associated with the sign shows earlier this year, and a Mutoh dealer contacted me and talked me into the Mutoh 1624 64" with the 400 ml inks. I ended...
