We typically use Illustrator to prepare our cut files. I'm certain that some test files came with your Colex. What are the results when you use those? Have you been trained in the use of the machine?

I have to update: the guys at Colex do know the product and its capabilties if you ask them. It's just that their online presence and information is sparse.

ChrisN, asking that question forced me to go back and research more diligently, and I think the White_INVERSE option that I discovered is what would've solved my problem. I'm not going to change form Bounding Box for the project we're currently printing, but I'll be smarter for the next time a...

This time we are using Bounding box. Typically we would use Inked image to conserve ink, except the 0,0,0,0 problem. In answering your questions about our white ink options, I have just learned that perhaps I need to use White_Inverse, which is an option I didn't realize/remember that we had...

How we are addressing it for the time being is to have the printer flood white across the bounding box, so that the voids are filled with white, but that uses more ink than I'd like. One thing we will do going forward in prepress for clear substrates is the following process in Photoshop...

We are printing three layers: color/white/color to give us the most opacity. However on the lightest areas of the print, there's zero ink coverage, which shows up as an empty space in the print. At first I thought it was a headstrike, before realizing it was the point in the file where there's...

These prints will be mounted to the wall, on standoffs. We print in reverse on the back side of the clear acrylic, so that the client can clean the prints in the future without any damage to the printed surface. That's why we don't print on white acrylic. Our challenge with this job was that it...

We are printing wide format images of vehicles to clear acrylic sheets on an EFI H1625LED. Where there is a headlight reflection or sunlight sparkle in the image, the color value is CMYK 0,0,0,0, or paper white. The problem is that my "paper" is clear acrylic, so the output shows a deletion and...

I just applied using that URL and got approved same day. Try again. Patterns run about $60 each. You'd probably spend that in design time, creating your own.

We love our Colex in conjunction with our EFI H1625 LED printer. These were additions to our equipment and so I'm trying to staff up to have enough people to let us become really good at this end of wide format. We are trying new materials, but it's difficult to get time to experiment or to get...

It's been a long week! :omg: How do you like your Colex?

I just did my first yesterday on Ultraflex Superprint Plus. This printed on our new EFI H1625 LED, and seamed together using Bron Killer Red tape. The final size was 10' wide by 8' tall, overlapping two 62" x 98" prints. I used 6 grommets across the top and two at bottom. The material was very...
