  1. Font help please

    Can someone ID this font please? It somehow got into an old Flexi file and Flexi is asking for Andalus regular- but when I look it up online it is nothing like this font. Also asks for Aparajila regular somewhere in the file. Thanks Gene
  2. Corafoam buy traveling up I-35 from Tx to Mpls- any interest?

    I and another company are buying a load of Duna in Tx and hauling to Mpls shortly. If you have any interest in meeting us on I-35 to purchase some- please PM me. Thx Gene
  3. GX500- 640 disconnects

    I had contant disconnects when I had a long usb cable on my GX500 but I moved stuff around to get it closer to the computer with VW on it and it still disconnects every couple days. Does this happen to yours or should I look further at my hookup. thanks Gene
  4. Fuzzy registration mark printing?

    Once in a while I notice some 'fog' around the registration marks on my VP- a print test looks perfect and the actual prints look great. I know the reg marks print at a higher rez than I normally print at... but can this even happen?
  5. What 3d programs do you use for modeling

    I am getting into sending proposals to customers to try to convey to them what I intend to do for them for 3D signs- for most signs I can model them in Aspire well enough to show what my ideas are- but for hand carved pieces it would be nice to do a 3D model in something like Sketchup. Just...
  6. Helpful laminator article in WRAPS Mag

    How many articles do you read where you actually learn something? There are some great tips on setting up a laminator on page 88. Gene
  7. diagonal selection

    Is there a way to do a diagonal selection in Flexi? The 5.x series could do it but it seems to have disappeared about 6.x- or am I missing yet another obvious feature. Thanks Gene
  8. Help needed on materials for door ID sliders please

    One of my customers is requesting that we make enough of these to make it worthwhile (and it seems like another niche for us as we recently installed a CNC). Can anyone ID the materials? The extrusion that holds the larger panel takes a 2" slide in panel which is brushed alum and .025 thick...
  9. Roland archives- plugin needed

    I am 'trapped' in San Diego for 10 days with a Android tablet and a new Win 8 RT tablet that I am not very proficient with. I have time to catch up on the archives but neither tab will play them- plugins needed. Does anyone know what is required? thanks Gene
  10. Anyone know where the Vworks config file is?

    Had a VW breakdown and had to re initialize and have been slowly getting back to my former setup and life over 3-4 days. Arghhh.
  11. R-Tape 4761RLA- anyone seen it?

    I saw it in one of the trade mags and tried to get a sample -it is for masking air release vinyl- they only sell it by the skid- to selected customers. I for one need this product- we sell a *lot* of cut air release because it is easy for customers to apply- and we have to tape the corners so...
  12. Vworks asking for dongle?

    I rebooted my rip computer and now VW won't open- it gets stuck at 'loading device information'. I have been searching the net and Roland site and I *think* maybe the printer LAN address changed or something similar. Has anyone run into this? I have a service request in to Roland as well...
  13. New Vworks update?

    Poking around to see how far out of date I was and found this: Hamamatsu, Japan, November 27, 2012—Roland DG Corporation has announced VersaWorks Version 4.8, a full featured easy-to-use RIP software package developed exclusively for the company's wide-format inkjet printers and...
  14. Fred- do you have the Omega keyboard cheatsheet?

    The one that goes over the keys on the keyboard and was cut out of PVC 10 for us recalcitrants that never learned the short cuts? I figured you would have it if anyone does. Thanks Gene
  15. Signlab and Edge FX question

    I have an acquaintance that just bought a used FX and is running it with Signlab and has a problem with calibrating the bombsite (X) to where the enVision actually cuts- seems to be a 1/4 inch off. Anyone help please. Thanks Gene I use Omega and have never had this problem- I am thinking it...
  16. Considering the VS540

    I am thinking I may sell my VP540 in favor of a VS. This machine has one head as I understand? What head is that and what does it cost? Seems having only one head would be an advantage in some ways (less alignments to stray) but certainly more expensive. Does anyone know the track record of...
  17. I need a solvent printable non-adhesive 10(ish)mil white translucent material

    I do quite a few small translucent faces for vending machines etc. I have always printed on calendered trans vinyl and stuck on 20mil PETG and it would be great to be able to print direct. Most of these have a plastic lens in front- if not I laminate the trans vinyl. Anyone know of a media...
  18. System restore on XP- what is restored?

    I switched to cable internet and in the process of resetting my email accts I deleted one that I need. No- had a backup setup but it did not work. I am trying to recover a Thunderbird profile that is in Documents and Settings\myname\application data\thunderbird. Am I as screwed as I think I...
  19. FlexiPro 7.6 on Win7 32bit computer

    Just wanted to report that this works without a hitch. Pros: modern OS that will be supported into the foreseeable future (unlike XP) Cons: 32 bit cannot take advantage of more than 4G RAM I had problems with a couple of the old programs that I have had in place for 10years (font management...
  20. Seeking thread that went: raise prices/lose customers/come out ahead

    That was the just of it- raise your prices (20?) %- if you lose (30?)% of your customers- you will still be ahead and doing 80% of the work. Thanks Gene
