is there any way in Flexi to recover an over written file? I know Signlab can...

I am not sure if it is illustrator that causes this, but I am receiving far too many files for vinyl cutting that have a double cut line somewhere in the graphic. Either in the conversion or possibly the designer putting a keyline around an existing shape with no thickness. Drives me crazy...

I am trying to install some ttf fonts and when I go to the install fonts window, if I only have true type selected the search area greys out.... I put the fonts in a directory called fonts on my C drive, but maybe they need to reside in the windows font area? not sure and don't want to try...

I picked up a roll of this 3ml gloss laminate from Western Rim ( supplier in Canada) and I am truly amazed with it. They call it Signmax and I am not sure if it is rebranded, but I am so happy I found it... First off, it goes down great and has the same sort of look as a 2ml 3M gloss... very...

Not sure if the software that this comes from can export any other way...anyone ever here of such a file?

I recall on Friday I heard these weird sounds coming from my roof and was convinced that there were Canada geese walking around up there.... then this morning I hear what sounds like scratching and figure it is coming from the exhaust pipe of the Tube heater. I asked someone to stand outside...

I purchased a new computer and it has a pretty good video card, but I seem to have an issue, and can't seem to find anything online or from anyone I know as to what might be causing it. The problem is that using the internet or programs the screen freezes up when scrolling or designing or...

It seems my Signlab 8 does this all the time with tif files...what's the deal with that?

Customer emails me some very rough artwork for a decal quote. I ask quantities and sizes... customer replies...they are the size I see them on my screen.... really? How does he know what size monitor I use?

I have to reprint a few jobs as I noticed the prints look a bit fuzzy. I looked close with a magnifying glass and can see dots of magenta along one side of what should be black. I cleaned the heads but still see it. How is it that the printer was printing fine Friday and then Monday we have...

I would love to know what causes this awful print to happen on my edge le. This particular one is on yellow reflective. It appears in nearly all the bottom numbers and can occur at the top as well. I am running Duracoat super opaque black. I think it is the edges of the foil curling up or...

This has been a persistant pain for me. If I receive a 2 page pdf file, how do I get everything on my screen without having to switch pages. I want everything together on the screen so nothing is hidden.

I am printing a logo wall for a trade show and set the file up staggered once with 16 small logos. I then repeated it 6 times. the total distance was about 20 feet. I worked from a bitmap file. I get down to about the 94% complete and then I happen to glance at the printer and it has what...

I have a programmable thermostat for my back shop and have it timed to lick down to 60 degrees at 5pm and then back to 68 at 8 am... Came in this morning early (7:30) and the heat is on and running at 68. I went through all the programming and everything looks fine. It has a secondary time...

I need to produce a magnetic dry erase board 4x4, which is not an item you can buy, so in the past I have used 20 gauge galvanized steel. I want to buy a thinner sheet of galvanized steel and adhere it to alumapanel. What are some of the methods I can use to put them together without fear...

I have used this material quite a lot for certain types of jobs ( hard weeding and small letters) I generally send the pre cut graphics out to customers who apply themselves. I have learn't the hard way that high tac pre mask is a must to be able to release the graphics easily. It is a...

Seriously? maybe I will just deduct the $8.00 charge and tell them to stick it!!

I do the graphics for a taxi company that runs wheelchair vehicles. part of the graphics is a yellow and black checkerboard that runs down each side about 4" wide. When I started doing these I would print the checkerboard on white 2ml 3m wrap material and use the 2 ml lam. I just could not...

What causes the printer to syphon empty the ink cartridges? I found my Mimaki jv3 130 spII with no cyan ink this morning. Ironically Friday the screen on the cyan ink went missing and I still have not found it. When I checked the print this morning and saw no cyan I was convinced the screen...

For the life of me I can't understand why these machines even have such a contraption..... I have had mine rigged from day one with the piece off the lid permanently on the magnet so I can lift the top and see whats going on. Today I was cleaning out all the gunk around the wiper and then...
