  1. Exporting transparent backgrounds in Flexi

    You probably have export options suppressed so the options window doesnt come up. Export as a .png, make sure "suppress options" is UN checked, pop up window has a check box for "transparent"

  3. Winter is coming and so is Flexi 19...

    Yeah I am interested to see if the "sketch" is any good. Probably just another way to have customers make extra work for us. Wildwest, I forgot about your disconnected preference as you have mentioned it many times before, that in and of itself is a reason they will probably always offer a...
  4. Winter is coming and so is Flexi 19...

    Interesting, any particular reason everyone is against the subscription software? Maybe its because of my age, but I have gotten almost numb to the fact that most software will never be an outright purchase/ownership. I like to "own" my equipment as much as everyone else, but I have a hard time...
  5. Suggestions Where to find/buy vector comic story board

    Most of the stock websites have what you are looking for, it might take some digging but you could easily composite some of those together for mural. https://stock.adobe.com/search/images?load_type=search&is_recent_search=&k=comic&native_visual_search=&similar_content_id= If you have a flexi...
  6. Any ideas for a "job" progression reader board

    I have used a few but currently run Asana, it is usually used for longer term projects or outsourced jobs as mentioned by bannertime but this is because of the size of our shop (small). If we were larger I would make sure 90% of new jobs run through such a "system" and also look to integrate a...
  7. Question Migrating from Flexi to Illustrator

    I completely agree, most of our workflow still involves flexi and it really does such a nice job of what it is designed to do. I would have a very hard justifying a complete switch without keeping both (or at least a flexi design license). I am assuming you are using a different RIP already...

    This has been quite entertaining, welcome back.

    Don't worry, I gave him crap about that too!
  10. How does this fly...no pun intended

    These were sent from a friend at the Springfield Illinois airport. I don't understand. My closest guess is adhesive failure and the janitors stuck them back on. Could be a great opportunity for a local shop.

  13. How to get designs to Flexi

    Not at all trying to comment on the quality of your work here, just mentioning what I have observed. Sloppy illustrator files tend to be problematic in flexi. Well organized illustrator files tend to be easy to work with in flexi. If you have problems it is likely going to be with gradients...
  14. Creating new shortcuts in Illustrator

    Another thing I have found really useful in learning illustrator are a couple courses here https://www.udemy.com/adobe-illustrator-cc-advanced-training/ they are super cheap (like $12 each if you leave them in your cart a couple days they drop half off). We watch a couple lessons over lunch...
  15. Creating new shortcuts in Illustrator

    Like mentioned above, you could set up an action (I think you can find the actions panel under "windows") or make a custom toolbar for your favorite tools.One of the issues that you will probably run into is that you have to select a key object to align to (unless you are aligning to the art...
  16. FADE with Dots/circles in Flexi

    Actually pretty easy in flexi, need to play around a little to get perfect but here is what I did, example attached. 1. Draw small object 2. Draw large object 3. Effects, Blend, enter steps, check mark 4. Adjust spacing if desired using arrange, spacing (or "J" shortcut), I skipped this step 5...
  17. FADE with Dots/circles in Flexi

    Have you tried using the blend tool in flexi? Also if you have a flexi subscription, log into SAi design elements and look for one in the vector library.
  18. Print / Production Environments - How Strict Are You?

    If you still have issues after implementing your new setup I would add those tacky floormats at the entrance (you can get them from any cleanroom supply company. Honestly with that setup you are going to be miles ahead of most shops.
  19. Anybody receive JRS orders since the move???

    I have some JRS frames on order since last year and a customer asking for more of the same. They have always been slow but good quality. They gave fair warning to those ordering last December that they were moving and to expect delays. Just curious if anyone on here has received any products...
