  9. Color consistency between SP-540v & VP-540

    I know the long, involved answer to this is to create custom profiles for each machine. However, currently, I'm looking to just try and get close color between our SP-540v & VP-540. The VP tends to lean heavily towards the magenta. I've attached a picture for reference. Exact same file, same...
  10. SP 540V Discoloration after head passes over a tear

    While printing a 100 inch wrap, I had no issues with coloring until the last 10 inches or so. I guess there was a small tear on the vinyl's edge, and the head started to rub on it, making it pop up more. We just let it run, holding the tear down the best we could until it passed the torn...

  14. Flexi Pro 10.5.1 problem!

    I recently updated my printer computer to 10.5.1 and my colors have changed on me.

    Still having issues with my machine. When I print on Fast mode, I have the problem of the color printing washed out after a few feet. When I print on Normal Mode, I don't have that issue but it prints "hairline" magenta lines in a few different places. It goes away if I stop it and do a soft...
