I get a file from some arrogant designer who was trying to educate me on colour by referencing an oracal colour chart to tell me the colour they want for this pick up truck. On top of that it was a 651 vinyl and naturally I am not putting that garbage on a truck so I switched to 3m although I...
I am trying to open an eps file from Corel. Everything in the file is vectored except these 4 lines of copy which is the same font as the rest of the signage.
These 4 lines keep coming in as a bitmap. Not the type I am used to seeing though. each letter is made up of 1 or 5 pieces so if you...
Flexi is such an odd program in many respects..... Once you put a contour cut on a graphic the only way you can make changes to any part of that graphic is to seperate the contour cut.
Once you have done that and made the change ( colour in this instance) you marquee everything and rip and...
I had 3 vehicles partially wrapped using the 3M 1080 dark red. I received a phone call that after going through a "no touch" car wash there seems to be one area of vinyl lifting on one of the vehicles.
I know that no touch car washes use acid and high pressure water so I am not sure if that is...
5 years..... wow!!! Well today it finally died.
My plotter works off of a strictly print and cut software and I cant simply cut with it which means it has basically only been used to die cut digital prints for the last 5 years.
Now I know what I go through with my Graphtec when...
I keep getting emails from pay pal or someone and it clearly states someones name and an amount of money. The names are never the same and i dont use pay pal so i know it is a scam.
Anyone know how this works? I am curious?
I fluked into finding out about this vinyl when another shop lent me some sandstone.
I was cutting a ton of pretty small letters upper and lower case for a rental car agency and the weeding, using traditional paper backed 2ml 3M was almost untolerable.
This vinyl can be cut with more...
I recieved a pdf file from a client and they needed 21 small signs. What they did is create a 26 page pdf file and I see that Signlab 8 has the capability to open each page...however, I was curious if there is a way to bring all the files into one page in signlab for easier cutting purposes.
The...
It can only be because I am leaving tomorrow for a weeks holiday.
I had a pump changed last week by a service technician for the magenta and now it works fine.
Today I have printed 3 or 4 jobs and everything looked fine...I then went for lunch and I was in the middle of sending a large bitmap...
I have 4 inks sitting at 10% or less. They have been like this for a week now and still I get no low ink warnings.
I leaving for a week Friday and I am pretty sure with the printer in sleep mode it wouldn't run out of ink.... would it?
Almost a year and a half old and the rollers just stopped turning. I have had this issue a couple of times whereby it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to engage even though you can hear the motor turning. Today in the middle of a run, the motor is running but the rollers are not.
Guy coming tomorrow...
Screw work, I'm going golfing this afternoon!!!!! May as well warm up for Myrtle Beach...
...and on a side note the airline (direct air) I was going on has ceased operations for 2 months due to "they aint got money to pay for fuel". :omg2:
Not sure if Visa will be refunding my money but...
I have a brain freeze and can't quite remember but if someone needs static cling printed on white, will they stick from the print side to a window looking out the other way? I am pretty sure they will.
I use my Flexi primarily for printing and I use the pantone coated colour chart all the time for selecting colours.
Today as I might see 2 to 3 times a week when shutting down the program a pop up message about one of the pantone colours having been changed and do I want to save it...
Although I have had the software for close to 2 years now, sometimes I look around when bored and find something I have never seen before.
Today I clicked on the dotted line that sits in front of the colour pallette and it opened up a grey box with a title of "Open manufacturer pallett"...
I...
Currently cutting a one off time sensitive / RUSH / print and cut and can hear the cutter doing a double cut. How is it that it can do a double cut in some areas and not others off the same file.
There should be a warning letting you know there is double cut info in the file before it is...
Maxi the Corgi goes ape chit over the compressed air stations. I have 2 in the shop. One in the back for blowing crap off the panel saw and one upstairs by my Edge to keep the dust at bay.
No matter where the dog is, if he hears the air, he is like their within seconds ready to attack the...
