  1. What resolution is everyone printing at

    Hi everyone Just curious as to what resolution everyone tends to print at? I know it's preference but I'm looking to tweak some settings. Here's my list: Workwear Vinyl: 16 Pass Uni Directional I do this because the detail is small on chest logos and I want to get the best possible quality as...
  2. Hot Folders for standard Cad Cut Vinyl

    As per the title, does flexi do hot folders for cad cut vinyl? I'm finding it difficult to just cut some standard text without having to load it into a design program like flexi, Illustrator or Graphtec studio just to cut it. Running a Graphtec FC9000 Thanks
  3. Anyone using Flexi pref with custom profiles

    Hi As per the title, anyone using Flexi? I want to nail down the settings and wondering what to choose. For colour management / Advanced I tend to use Adobe 1998 for RGB, Epson Wide CYMK V2 for CMYK and I leave the grey as standard. What do you use? What do you use for Rendering Intents and...
  4. Rotate nested job in production manager

    Is there a way of rotating a job once printed and sent to the cutter? Basically, I've printed a nested job fine, I've cut it off the printer and there's not enough at the end of the print for the cutter. If I can rotate it 180 degrees it will work fine. I just can't work out how to rotate it...
  5. Templating a vehicle

    Hi I need to template a vehicle, I need everything spot on so I can't use a standard vehicle template. In the past, I was told to: Apply application tape, draw lines around the edges, handles etc, take it all off and lay it down flat, take a photo and then draw around it in Illustrator. Is...
  6. Flexi 22, am I making a mistake?

    Hi guys I'm still in the trial stage for Flexi 22 and my initial thoughts are not great. Customer service weren't much help with profiles, the default profiles were poor and based on the printouts, I would have run a mile from both my printer and Flexi. I know my printer can print perfect...
  7. What RIP is everyone using?

    Hi I've gone from Versaworks (when I had a Roland) to Onyx and now to Flexi. I thought Versaworks was ok, It did everything I needed it to and I was perfectly happy with it and never even contemplated looking elsewhere. I used cutting master on the side for my vinyl graphics (when using a small...
  8. Discussion ICC profile making

    Hi everyone I’ve now got flex 22 installed and connected. Previously when I’ve used onyx I have always setup my own profiles, mainly because media suppliers don’t really have any and I found I always got better colours. I tend to go overboard with the passes so I’m here asking for advice...
  9. New Flexi User

    Hi everyone I’ve just signed up to flexi 22. I’m coming from Onyx 21 which I have used for the past few years but I was getting frustrated with little things so I thought I’d give Flexi a go after hearing some good feedback. I design in Affinity designer on the Mac so I have a few questions...
  10. Drytac Polar Cast

    Hi Has anyone tried Drytac Polar Cast? I'm just wondering if it's any good? Can it handle deep recesses on vans? I'm used to Arlon SLX but seen a few people use it recently.
  11. Moving from Onyx to Flexi

    Hi everyone I have just moved from Onyx 21 to Flexi 22. I've only downloaded the trial at the moment so I wanted to text the waters before moving across. I've setup the printer and Cutter but I don't quote know what to do next. I'm designing on a Mac, once I've got my print file or cut file, I...
  12. Flexi 22 vs Onyx 22

    Hi all I have Onyx 21 but I am getting fed up. Don't get me wrong it prints and cuts fine but it slows me down in other areas so I am trying to find a better solution. I'd like to compare Onyx and Flexi and see if either one is better for me. I am hoping someone can tell me that Onyx can do...

    Hi everyone Had the Epson S60600 a little while and this is the first time it's ever done this which make me think it's the media. I'm printing a job, I have the media attached to the take up unit and that all appears to be working correctly however there is a build up of static on the front...
  14. Cost for running your printer, laminator, vinyl cutter and rolls roller

    Hi all I am in the process of re-working my prices and I am trying to find the best way to do this. I'm ok with overheads etc but I want to change how I work out printing costs. I want to price everything to the metre so I know that 5 metres of something costs so much on material, so much on...

    Hi everyone Who's doing perf cutting on a Graphtec? I've never bothered but I need to speed up a process and as I am on my own and setting the cutter do some work while I do something else would be a big help. I'm using Onyx and cut server to cut my files. I'm ok with setting this side up...
  16. Onyx jobs disappearing after the first job is printed

    Hi All Not had this before so not sure if I have clicked something by mistake. After I process a few jobs and click print, it prints the first job fine and then stops, the rest of the jobs vanish. I'm able to re-process them but the same thing again.

  17. Ink Costs using Onyx and an Epson S60600

    Hi all I still have't worked out how to do the ink costs within Onyx, once done how accurate are they? I know you have to put some figures in first from what I was told but it was soo long ago and I've still not done it and forgot how to. I'm just trying to create a quick calculator to work...
  18. Contour cut with Onyx and Graphtec FC9000

    Think I am going crazy I bought a new FC9000 and thought it would also be a good time to reinstall my computer. I've just gone to print a job and it's printing the cut lines. I went into onyx and took a look at the quickset I am using, the FC9000 is selected and I've ticked Use Cut Path...
  19. Anyone using Onyx in Windows and designing on a Mac?

    Hi As per the title, is anyone using a mac to design their signs and then printing or cutting from Windows? I've just bought an FC9000 so cutting directly from the mac is fine using the Cutting master plugin but when it comes to printing on the Epson, I'm transferring my files manually and...
