Mutoh will be the only ones who can truly answer if both your printer and cutter can be connected to 10.6 Mac. Even if Flexi has the drivers within its 8.5 software program, it utilizes the manufacturers communication drivers especially if they are USB.

Also... beginning in 8.5v1 sp2, SAi will install an Adobe Plug-ins folder to \Program Files\SAi\SAi Production Suite\Adobe Plug-ins You can drop your 3rd party plug-ins here and not interfere with your PhotoShop plug-ins.

Production Manager is able to open *.FS files. Even if you are not able to utilize the RIP and Print dialog, you should be able to open the files directly and output.

You did need to have PhotoShop installed for all versions 8.1 and lower. Starting in 8.5, Flexi has added an Adobe Plugins folder in their installed directory that you can place these plug-ins if you don't have Adobe's product installed. The file path would look similar to... C:\Program...

Hello Patco, Are you white objects actually white, or compounded "holes" between 2 objects? If they are compounded you will have to release the compound before changing the color of object manually.

Yes. Arrange > Auto-serialize... is the best option for your parking permits.

I will answer your last question first... yes, the software versions are backwards compatible with the VE cutter. That being said, the only true Vista version of Flexi or any of its OEM renditions began at 8.5v1. The only problem you may experience is with the port driver for the VE machine. A...

Flexi does not support transparent TIFF files. Once you import your bitmap into the software you will need to use the "Make Transparent" option under the Bitmap menu to achieve the transparency you desire.

This may have something to do with the issue you are having: Roland CX and CM cutters need to be set to Rotate 90, and GX cutters need to be set to Rotate 0 to work in Flexi 8.5 and above (actually the 0 offset will show on the left edge of the Cut/Plot dialog). Prior releases, like yours, did...

DGDesigns... I believe the reason why it worked on copy/paste and not open is due to the difference in the "Open" and "Import" filters. In other words... you should be able to Import your EPS files even though you can't Open them. At least that is what I can recall when Flexi had the same issue...

You can still use the provided jpeg and contour cut smoothly around the rope. After importing the image into Flexi, use the Make Transparent option found in the Bitmap menu. Hold down Shift and manually select the 4 corners of the design (select similar will not work in this instance since it...

This process may seem long and painful, but it is the only way... and with great results in the end (see screenshot) image to the right has a contour cut on it.

jnyreno... Flexi 8.5 was written for Leopard. With Snow Leopard I have noticed only 2 annoyances so far: 1. File > Export. The list of "Save as type" in the Export dialog displays "??" instead of the actual export type. However, the software will export files correctly. 2. SafeNet...

Lindsay, just so I have a better understanding of the issue... at first glance I would think you would want the underbase to print first to lay down that initial color under your job. If you were to place that underbase color on top for a true reverse printing, wouldn't that be now considered a...

sign painter, There is no way to just drop in the driver from 8.x to 7.x. The easiest solution would be to contact the dealer you purchased the software from and upgrade. When you mentioned you are not able to use the CX-300 setup to run your GX-300 is it because of USB port? What exactly is...

Even though I am not in a production environment, I use FSP for all my vectorization, path editing, variable data (Autoserialization in the software), and adding contour cut lines to the jobs. I find the software to be extremely user friendly in these areas. Any bitmap editing I still use...

Lee, See attached screenshot that began as a tiny jpeg. Even though this is not a contour cut, the procedures will remain the same. There is a "Reduce Points" editing tool that will assist with the very fine details. (Row 3, Column 3 in my expanded toolbar) However, you have no control over...

yes... spot color mapping only works on vector objects. raster images will only use CMYK (process colors)... sorry I missed that in your original post. :doh: Are you to trace only the gold, then add a black outline in Flexi to act as the stroke you desire?

Matt... Nice way to hijack an old thread... LOL! :smile: How is your printer connected to your computer?

arcman, In order to get your PhotoShop's gold to map to Roland's gold ribbon you need to... Open your job in Flexi 8. Right-mouse click on the color bar and select "Open Table" from the context menu. In the Open dialog browse to the Swatch > Library > Roland folder. Select PC-50.slb and open. A...
