Thank you guys, I also was thinking extruded, and never thought about stacking aluminum. Thanks again.

Primarily the acrylic backer. I'm afraid that if I mount acrylic track directly to the wood , expansion/ contraction will effect mounting.

The customer wants it mounted on a wood background without a typical acrylic backer to mount the track to. Its kind of a rough saw cut wood sign. Currently they have track mounted to acrylic clear and then mounted to the wood but it turns hazy.

I know there is tons of acrylic changeable letter track made of clear acrylic. Does anyone know if there is any supplier who makes them from a metal? TIA.

Following...same issue.

I have not had luck with Flexi and there profiles, so I use Flexi to add marks, then send to Versaworks, then let Roland versaworks use their icc profiles. I Print with marks on a Roland and then cut with a Summa, but its the same process.

Ive been running what is now TruNas for artwork storage for 11 yrs and yes I had to swap out a few drives here and there, but with the correct redundancy set up in the drives, I plug and play another drive, and pick back up where I left off without issue.

As a work around, you can export them as a pdf in a file location then use Versaworks to open the file. If I use the Blue "Send to Versaworks" button in Flexi, sometimes I get corrupt files.

I hate to bring back an old thread but.... Flexi is going up on prices, (email just came out) and I still have crashing issues with Flexi 24.

I have installed and removed brick vinyl. Usually all you need is a torch to warm up the vinyl and it lifts off pretty easy.

Have ypu tried to run Flexi to your new S3? Eliminate if the issue is Onyx or the plotter. I'm not familiar with Onyx to know if it's capable of doing what Flexi does. I'm following as I'm looking for an alternative to Flexi myself.

I could not agree more. I screamed at Serif for months just to add dxf support. I thought we were getting somewhere then.... now this feels like a gut punch. Odds of getting a Summa or any other plug in looks to be out of the question now.

The customer would rather not. It is a police department. And others have mentioned, UV, or DTF prints.... problem is you cant UV print a reflective like reflective vinyl. These tags will be moved with officers from car to car. Thank you. I was afraid of vinyl reacting/curling to some of the...

Sorry, UV wont work. My customer isnt interested in UV as you can NOT UV print some of the vinyl material qualities. That is why in my original post, I mentioned it is a mix of printed and die cut as some things printers cant do yet. Screen Printing has the same issue. Let me know if you can...

I dont do screen printing. When I contacted a friend who does, he said way too many colors shadows and gradients for screen printing.
