  1. flexi refuses to rip my file?

    Is there a restriction in Flexi that after it generates the job file it refuses to rip the file? I have twice tried sending bitmap 3' x 8'to the printer and both times I see nothing in the production manager and everything sits idle after it generates the job? What can I do...reboot?
  2. anyone with retractable banner bug knowledge help!!!

    I must be stupid. A Customer comes in and needs 2 banners for tomorrow night and I say OK, then he brings in these 2 banner bug retractables that I never did. I told him that I have never done one and I will try to replace the banner. So anyways I print the new banners and now I slowly open the...
  3. heat?

    hey guys, I was just wondering about some stuff that maybe I have not understood. Is it generally understood that your pre heat should be about 5 degrees celcius hooter than your print heat on banners and vinyl? Thats pretty much what I was taught from day one and have adhered to it. I will drop...
  4. installing xp in a win 2000 comp?

    I want to wipe an entire hard drive and start fresh and install win xp. How do I go about wiping an entire hard drive to start fresh. Win xp does not seem to think I have enough disk space, yet I have plenty. Can I wipe everything and start fresh?
  5. jv3 - came in this morning and it is still on?

    I experienced this a few weeks ago but figured I had not turned the machine off. This morning I came in and I can hear the machine humming away. The green light on the "on" button is not lit ,yet it is on. The message centre had a message that said something about the wiper, so I hit enter and...

    Just what parts consist of the capping station? I have never changed mine and we are at 3 years. I maintain on a very regular schedule. Does the station simply consist of the rubber rings and the top plastic piece? I see 3 screws,and wondered if you smply remove this and replace with a new one...
  7. strange things happening around my area

    I started noticing this strange behaviour by someone in my area of business. It is all centred around bag signs. First I noticed that at any intersection be it a major intersection or just a local intersection there would be bag signs on eachof the corners and there could be 1 or 2 advertising...
  8. envision cutting strip

    I have a 15" envision cutter for my Edge LE and as of lat when it cuts straight cuts along the bottom of vinyl it is shearing right through the backing paper at times or you can hear it is cutting therough to the paper and no where else does it do this. I see there is a white cutting strip and...
  9. hard drive clicking?

    Started up my main computer and I hear this clicking sound like a clock only faster. Windows loads real slow and now I have it up and running and it has stopped. Am I going to have a failure? I am starting to back up important stuff just in case.
  10. production manager settings - ??????

    I have learnt the hard way over time that Flexi's production manager defaults to the settings used on the previous print. Now I would think that would be true if I were to simply hit "new" and start a new file. What I can't figure out is if I open a previously saved file that has been printed...
  11. outlook express - new messages go straight to deleted folder?

    I have encountered a strange issue with Outlook express. Another sign shop was sending me some files and he called to see if I received it. I had not and he sent it 2 more times and I still saw nothing. I looked in my deleted folder and sure enough, there they were. Have I done something for...

  13. teflon strips - why do they cost so much

    How is it that a teflon strip that is 53" x 1/4" can cost $40.00? That makes it the most incredibly expensive vinyl strip ever!!! Is it just that they can charge that amount or is the stuff truly that expensive to make? I wonder if there is another source for purchasing the stuff?
  14. win 98 outlook express question

    Just curious if anyone knows how to reload outlook express for win 98 back over an existing version. Mine is acting really weird and feel it is corrupt. If I have the win disk can I get it to simply overwrite outlook by itself? Is it even possible to repair?
  15. can I print up a colour chart from the colour libraries

    Is there any painless way to print up a colour chart from Flexi without having to painstakingly drag each colour on manually? I am trying to print up the pantone coated chart and it is huge. What I realized is that I did have a chart for pantones that I downloaded from another site 2 years ago...
  16. 440 cc ink cartridge pricing?

    I dont know if this is the appropriate place to ask such a question so if the admin wants to move it, by all means. Just curious what you guys are paying for a 440 cc cartridge of ss2 ink? I was paying 118 and it is now up to 145 I believe. I would like to source a new supplier if possible
  17. flexi issue

    I cant for the life of me think why Flexi would even have an option to delete a file after it was cut? Why on earth would I want an option like that? Case in point. My Summa cutter sometimes has difficulty finding the black squares to set up the cut. I have found the only solution is to reboot...

  19. emailed files from macs, always get 2

    Does anyone else suffer from receiving emails with files from Macs and you get 2 same named files only they are different sizes? It drives me crazy!!!! It used to be that the larger file was the good one but now it seems it can be either. The problem I have is that I can only open cs1 and up in...
  20. ss2 expiry dates

    I was told from my sales rep that they have moved up all the expiry dates on ink as it should not sit on the shelf to long and I believe I had seen here on the forums the same story. I just got back from picking up a ss2 magenta cartridge and the date is july 29th................2010...
