  1. Flexi subscription

    We're running Mac based 8.5 which will no longer be support. We do also use illustrator but one in our shop prefers Flexi as she has run it for years. I would need to either run Windows 7 on a virtual machine, which also isn't supported by SAi. Fellers is only selling the cloud which with DSL...
  2. Flexi 8.5 Mac-Memory almost full warning - help??

    I've cleared out the temp folder but we're still getting this message. Any thoughts? MacBook Pro, 2.3 Ghz, 4 GB (virtual) memory, 320 GB HD-200 GB available
  3. 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 10' wood posts? Oak or PT?

    We're trying to replicate a former signer's job where they used a 4.5"x4.5" x 10' wooden sign post. Does anyone know where I might source either PT, oak that size? They took the edges off each corner and their paint job doesn't have any cracks!

  5. Snap trim how to?

    Does anyone have a better method of installing Snap Trim? I've been using an edge sealer then a bead of silicone on the inside of the C 1/2" channel. Sometimes this works but I just had a job come back where the silicone didn't seal out the water and the Lustrboard has delaminated.
  6. craft paper vs. Braper?

    Braper is from Fellers. Craft paper has no plastic "side". I find with Braper it starts to wrinkle almost as soon as you start laminating. I know some people don't use it at all and I usually cut it before running anything long and try to keep the lam and vinyl the same width, otherwise it...
  7. Vinyl for dashboard recommendations?

    Client wants to put some decals on the dashboards of their fleet - anyone know a good vinyl for that? It would be digital printed and probably laminated. I apologise in advance if there isn't enough information.

    We have a customer who wants to put reverse graphics on the inside of his office windows. The windows aren't tinted and he wants to be able to see the graphics from the outside. He would like to use perferated vinyl. We have a Roland vp-300 and Roland SP-540 with cold laminator. Any tips or...
  9. Pricing install subcontractor

    We're in Maine so not sure how this might trend nationally but... We have a few projects coming up and were wondering how much to pay a sub to install a 20' box wrap. We would have all the vinyl, 30" 3M.
  10. Police motorcycle pricing?

    Pretty basic design using just vinyl. Stripes that look like louvers, two colors of vinyl and a shield.
  11. Diesel exhaust turning laminated vinyl black

    We did these trucks about 3 three years ago using Oracal 3551 RA, Oraguard 290. The graphic is up in the corner of the trailer where the exhaust comes out and is turning black as a result. I see fully wrapped (tractor) trailers out there and they are clean in that area. We are using 3M now but...
  12. VesaWorks can't find file

    Ever since I did a recent update I can RIP/print the job but if I shut everything down, go home next and get ready ti cut the job I get a warning that it can't find the original file. What the ...??

  14. VersaWorks-increase disc space?

    Big job keeps stopping every 20 inches or so. I have RIP while printing checked but it keeps stopping. Ink chip, maybe not sure.
  15. VP-300 stopping to clean too much

    Just replaced a black cartridge and now it stops every 20" or so to clean - yes it says Cleaning>>>. So, chips, firmware? It's 3.0 and will update it but the Roland site is down. What if that doesn't work? Any other options?
  16. versaworks not seeing image in illustrator file

    I have a big image file placed in illsutrator but when I bring it into VersaWorks it's not there. There are are other elements in the illustrator file like type and boxes but no transparencies that I can see. I tried flattening it and it's too big to rasterize.

    We've tried 2 part wood "bondo", priming, painting, and using vinyl to close it it and water always seems to get in. Anyone have a foolproof way of doing it?
  18. SignFoam bonding 2 pieces together

    I have two scraps of signfoam and would like to glue or bond them together to make one larger one. I will be using cnc to make a 2-sided sign with it. Shold I use 2-part epoxy or some other glue? I have tried to make the two surfaces as straight and smooth as possible.
  19. Customer canceled check for wrap

    We did a wrap on an old trailer and the client wasn't happy about the job. We spoke on the phone and said we would work with them to fix it but the canceled the balance check as we already had a deposit. Should we go to small claims to get our money?

    All of a sudden, least on this job, it gets about half way through each print (doing 4-up 24"w x 18"h) and stops to clean. ??
