  1. Flexi is eating my hard drive

    Yes, it looks like you are correct. After printing it "holds" the file, as well as holding the cutting file, I see that in the default job settings now. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I can change it to "delete" or else I'll have to dump the files every few months. Thank you. d...
  2. Flexi is eating my hard drive

    I noticed my hard drive was filling up and found that Flexi was the culprit. I have over 102GB of files stored in a FlexiJobs folder. They're broken into 2 sub folders: Graphtec and HP. I have a TON of task schedule/task object and pdf files (pdfs are the bulk of the 102GB). I have never...

  6. HP Announce R Series Flatbed Latex printer

    eek, a bit steep for me. Only have a budget of 200K for flatbed and cutter. Oh well, I knew it was to good to be true.
  7. HP Announce R Series Flatbed Latex printer

    I too was at the ISA show, was nice to meet you guys (digging the new woodgrain vinyl btw). I'm in the market for a 4X8 flatbed printer and a cutter. Maybe I need to hold out for HP to roll out theirs. If y'all are overwhelmed by it, I'll heed your advice. I've had a HP310latex for 2 years now...

  10. Indoor perf?

    I have no experience with window perf, so I'm hoping y'all can help out. My boss wants me to make decals to put on the inside of the back windows of our vans. I imagine he's talking about window perf so you can still see through the windows if you're in the van. But my research only shows the...
  11. Grimco buys Advantage Sign & Graphic Solutions/Advantage Sign Supply

    I too am sad that Advantage is gone. Now that Grimco took over, every order I place there's something wrong with it one way or another. What I miss the most is their house brand Opti-koat 5 mil textured laminate. Has anyone found a replacement for that? It had the perfect texture and I liked...
  12. wet mount squeegees

    I'm making second surface backlit inserts. In the past I have wet mounted my vinyl onto flat acrylic sheets with a rigid plastic squeegee. I always fear for scratching, which sometimes happen, even with a fresh new squeegee. Am I using the wrong tool, should I be using a rubber squeegee...
  13. How do I cut without print&cut?

    I'm trying that now. Thanks
  14. How do I cut without print&cut?

    Yes, letters are selected and setup to cut. I just don't have the "cut only" option available. It wants to print/cut only. Sounds crazy that my flexi wouldn't have that capability.
  15. How do I cut without print&cut?

    Someone gave me a 10' roll of black vinyl with notched edges. Besides Flexi, I have all the Adobe products. My cutter is a Graphtec standalone. My printer is an HP310
  16. How do I cut without print&cut?

    That button (cut contour) is greyed out.
  17. How do I cut without print&cut?

    I have flexi print and cut, and have been using it wonderfully with my printer. Printer prints registration marks on my white digital vinyl and Flexi finds them and cuts. Good stuff. So, what if I want to cut some letters out of black vinyl that someone gave me? How can I get flexi to cut the...
  18. Peeling liner from acrylic sheet

    Success! Packing tape on the leading edge to get it started, then wrapped it around a 3" core and rolled it all right off. Both sides in 4 minutes total. Saved me so much time, thanks folks. Won't have to waste any liquids that way.
  19. Peeling liner from acrylic sheet

    So, wetting it down with Rapic tac only made the paper separate from the adhesive. Ergh.. I have a feeling it's old stock. Even though I just got it from Grimco a week ago, they may have sold me old s*&t. Pain in the butt! I have vinyl cores handing around, I'll try taping it to that and see...
  20. Peeling liner from acrylic sheet

    This may seem like an insignificant question, but I'm spending too much time peeling liners and there has to be a faster way. I have a 3'X5' sheet of acrylic I use to make backlit signs with. There's a protective brown paper liner on both sides. Every time I start peeling it off, it tears and I...
