Thanks Sol! I laminate everything so I don't care about scratch resistance. I use Ritemedia ProColor ink in my Roland for 15 years with no issues. Doesn't stink and drys way faster than SS21 stuff. And 75 bucks a cartridge vs $187 for the SS21! Maybe a petition from hundreds of customers would...

I appreciate your thoughts but I don't buy that. Someone at Mimaki thinks it's uber clever and doesn't care if it bothers their customers. A firmware change so it can be turned on or off would be much appreciated. I really miss my old Roland. It had buttons on the front for common tasks like...

Good grief. Well that's disappointing to put it mildly. Not sure what it's supposed to be helpful for. Thanks for the info! I'll set them the same at least. Still scratching my head over "Local" and "Remote" ...

Just bought a new CJV150 and have a question. How do I turn off the pinch roller automatic change monkey business? I don't need the printer to faff about with the pinch rollers every time I try to print or cut something. Sometimes it just goes to each one and does nothing at all. Sometimes it...

Never saw the question. I have a Baldor Laser with a RECI 100 watt tube.

Hire a helper, stay home... and charge double. Why didn't I think of that? lol

Getting more and more trailer work... and the roller I'm using over rivets is getting hard to use. My wrist is getting quite sore. Much more of this and I'll have carpel tunnel syndrome. Is anyone selling anything new under the sun for rolling down rivets that might be easier on my wrists? Adrian

Signed up in 2005. Haven't been active here for a few years... but I still make signs! Carved/gilded a lot of signs back then but mostly do tractor/trailer lettering now. Got some great help from the forum today!

Thank you for your thoughts. The other computers are using postscript2 and make files that work. I tried postscript3 with no change. I have a workaround with the pdf files(and my old XP computer) so I'm going to take a much needed break from this for a few days before I try the F8 idea. I'm a...

Well Dang! I had no idea I could cut a pdf! Thanks for that! I just made a pdf and VW accepted it and printed/cut it. I also made a jpg and it printed that too. It just won't cut an eps that was made on the same machine the VW is installed on. Just to be sure I just tried another eps attempt and...

Could be. I've tried very carefully to see anything different between the computers that work and the one that doesn't. I can't see anything. This all worked perfectly just a few days ago. Maybe I should try a restore point to a couple of weeks ago?

Thanks... I'll look into that.

Thanks. I did that with the W7 CHKDSK utility. Took 8 hours! No change. This software "crystal disc" might do a better job? Also defragged the discs and did a "disc cleanup" Found 91Gig of crap... but still no joy. Just fired up another old W7 computer with Corel X4 on it and it too makes Corel...

I've tried that. A square won't work. I can make any file I want on the XP computer and VW runs it fine. I just can't get the W7computer VW is installed on to accept a file made on that same W7 computer. Something in W7 is corrupting the Corel file I guess.

I need files I can print and cut. I don't think I can cut a pdf. I tried a fresh install of X4 but it made no difference. I don't have a copy of an older version.
