My 628 is set to clean once a day. Almost every time it cleans the capping station is flooded with ink and the bottom of the head is soaked also. I asked the tech at SignWarehouse where I bought it from and he suggested that the overflow was full. I've dumped it several times, that's not the...

Thanks guys, I was able to do that.

Tried converting before and after filling, no bueno.

Trying to recreate customer's artwork. The original file was filled with something like the "chrome rail" fill in Flexi, then distorted. In other words I can't figure out how to get the Chrome Rail fill to do anything buy stay straight across the lettering.

Big Easy: That works, thanks. Does seem to alter the color some though. I picked 100C, 100Y and once rasterized to RGB, then back to CMYK the color came out quite a bit lighter on my printer (test print) than the 100C, 100Y shows on the color chart.

Trying to get artwork ready to send to a contract printer, I've sent them CMYK 300 dpi jpgs from Corel and everything was fine. Trying to export the same from Flexi 10 but there's only option for RGB. Is there really no way to export a file from Flexi in CMYK?

I have never laminated anything, I think this may be a better way??

Ok, pretty new to digital printing. Only have a 24" Mutoh for doing small decals and such. My dilemma is when to tape the digital stuff? For instance a guy brought in a racing decal, about 1.5"x 15" long. Would you tape these for him to apply or just hand them out? Seems like this one he...

Is there an easy way to Find and Replace a certain color in Flexi? I use a Macro for this in Corel every day but haven't found a way to do it in Flex.

I have a ValueJet 628 24" and so far it's been good. We're a small mom and pop deal and 24" was big enough for us, besides being able to print banners.

Still had the print heads in the up position from printing banners. Still a newbie. Put head down and printed a row of .005" lines and they were all good.

This just started, I don't see any way to align the heads. I've swabbed the head with lint free cloth and ran several cleanings, no bueno.

Thanks guys, took just a bit but we got it usuable. Used trace in Corel and then edited the line in Flexi. Thanks again for the help

....and them damn white feathers on top are giving me fits when tracing

When I try to make transparency in Flexi, it changes the bitmap but when I select it, it still has the big ole box around it??
