  1. When Will Adobe Do This...

    It is, but the people that need the full functionality of autocad charge over $100/hr. There's plenty of alternatives that are cheaper. I myself use MOI3D.
  2. Vinyl, stencil or freehand these signs?

    Interesting. I was just looking at that article thinking, "I would just airbrush over that stencil".
  3. Reviews of Roland VG2-540?

    I was wondering this too. We're trying to decide if we should double up the CMYK, or do C,ltC,M,ltM,Y,K,ltK,O. We have no need for white.
  4. Cutter recommendations for perf cutting beaded reflective

    Thank you for the replies. The F1612 was one we were potentially looking at, just trying to justify the cost.
  5. Cutter recommendations for perf cutting beaded reflective

    Good morning (or afternoon) :D We've been getting more requests lately for decals printed on IJ680 beaded reflective vinyl. We've been doing these ok, but they're very time consuming. Specifically cutting them out after they've been print, laminated and contour cut. The time comes into...
  6. Question Migrating from Flexi to Illustrator

    Our Flexi cloud auto-updates.. came in one day, and it just stopped working after an update. There wasn't a way for me to roll the update back.
  7. Question Migrating from Flexi to Illustrator

    One update broke production manager where we could not longer run it as a network service. At the same time it would no longer find our printer. Flexi created a patch for us where it would see our printer again in designer, but production manager would randomly not see the printer. We've had...
  8. Question CADTools or Alternative for Illustrator

    I need a tool or plugin for Illustrator that will let me work around the size limit imposed by Adobe. One employee has some experience using CADTools plugin, but that's seriously overkill for only needing one of it's multitude of features. I need a way to work in scale in Illustrator (with...
  9. Question Migrating from Flexi to Illustrator

    We're tired of all the bugs/crashing/workarounds in Flexi and moving to Illustrator. Unfortunately we have a bunch of Flexi files we need to migrate. We've tried the EPS route, unfortunately for some reason the cut lines don't translate over properly. Anyone have any suggestions/tricks for...
  10. Anyone using the Oki E-64S?

    How did that concern go away?
  11. Anyone using the Oki E-64S?

    As I mentioned, the Oki has incredible colour. My biggest concern is what you don't see unless you've owned one, it's reliability. Everything has quirks from my experience, it's just finding the ones that least affect your workflow or productivity. The HP we have is fantastic because we can...
  12. Anyone using the Oki E-64S?

    Currently we run a HP Latex 360, and it's always been the bane of my existence when it comes to colour consistency. I can print 8 panels of a wrap of a solid colour, and two random panels will be a slightly different shade. And jobs we printed a couple months prior can differ, sometimes a...
  13. Onyx doesn't see network drives

    Much appreciated! That worked perfectly!
  14. Onyx doesn't see network drives

    Awesome, I'll give that a try tomorrow. Thank you!
  15. Onyx doesn't see network drives

    So we ended up buying Onyx Postershop, got it all setup and tested it with some files on the desktop. We got busy and kept using Flexi until it slowed down a bit. One issue I ran into right away is that Onyx won't see any mapped network drives. The only way I can rip is if I copy the file to...
  16. RIP Software Suggestions

    Just as a follow up, we ended up ordering Onyx Postershop 18. :D
  17. RIP Software Suggestions

    Flexi makes the updates, therefore the issues ARE with Flexi. That's like saying Ford's not at fault for updating the firmware in your ECM through a recall which causes worse fuel mileage. That's just non-sense. Show me on ThinkSAI's website where you can buy a non-cloud version? How on...
  18. RIP Software Suggestions

    I took a look at SignLab's website. The software looks like it was written in 1990. :D
  19. RIP Software Suggestions

    It's the latest build of Flexi 12.
  20. RIP Software Suggestions

    Yesterday, out of the blue, it appears Flexi updated itself. Now when we send a job that worked the day previously, it refuses to generate a cut file to go with it. Other times the printer would simply disappear from the rip and print window. I spent 3 hours on the phone with their support...
