  1. Program to reliably round corners?

    We use Flexi 7.6 to design and the round corner function sucks- one of the only things I don't like about Flexi- the older version (5.7) this worked a treat. When we cut graphics/lettering that has been laminated on a drag knife cutter (GX-500) it wants to lift the sharp corners (not as bad...

  3. Can we optimize the cut in flexi?

    The thread about the cut optimizer for corel got me thinking- is there a way to do this in Flexi? I design in Flexi and print and cut thru VersaWorks. I understand we can do it in the Flexi cut window- but this doesn't work with VWorks. Gene PS- I have read the threads about VW cutting...
  4. Bobby @ CiberSupply come thru for me

    Bobby has done me a great service... and refused payment. You are da man, man. I have always had the opinion that you are knowledgeable and helpful, so when I needed some info- I thought of you. Good call on my part- thanks again and I hope we can do some bidness so I can repay you. Gene :U Rock:
  5. VersaWorks questions/ GX500 kudos

    Will VW ever have the capablity of sequential cutting? And it seems that you cannot send a cut job to a cutter while driving the printer? Both of these are production hurtles- and my old legs are tired. The good news on my VP540/GX500 exerience is that I cut a 10+ foot print/cut yesterday...
  6. Anyone using a GX-500 with a 54" printer?

    I have worked with this for a week or so and I am wondering if what I am doing is the best solution. I set up the printer for an offset 47" print on the 54" material- see pict. That seems to be the only way to get the roland registration marks to line up with where the GX-500 has to have the...
  7. Font ID please

    I tried my 'Find my Font' and I know I have seen it, but... Thanks
  8. GX-500 / VP540 workflow

    Well I popped for a GX-500 just before the price increase (early Feb I think) and finally have it and have time to get it set up. I built a vinyl catch 'sling' and have started figuring out how to get it to cut from the VP reg marks and early impression is that it is a way better cutter than...
  9. Multiple feed rolls behind Inkjet?

    OK- so I have been thinking about this for quite a while... and I finally bought a GX500 cutter which should be operational this weekend. I use most often 2 types of vinyl and one of banner material- and switch several times a day (we do a lot of different things for a ton of customers). So...
  10. Looking for 54" media rollers for printer

    Anyone scrapping an old printer? If so let me know what you want. Thanks Gene
  11. 3M vs. Oracal- calendered vinyl comparison only please

    I use mostly calendered vinyl for our print production. I understand that cast is better but for the our mix of printed products we have been using Orajet 3165RA ( which I believe would correspond to IJ35C-10) and Orajet 3551RA ( which I believe would correspond to IJ40C-10R). We had...

  13. Font ID please.

    I thought this was serpentine at first but it is not. Not a great pict I know but the fond does have small serif but they also do not quite match Serpentine. Thanks Gene
  14. GX-640 owner/users inside please

    I am considering this plotter to free up cutting time on my VP540 this summer and (hopefully) get way better cuts on air release type vinyl. Seems we need to cut more printed lettering to match the colors of printed logos- and the VP540 is not a good cutter for this purpose. It is a real...
  15. State of YOUR economy- year of 2011

    I am interested to know how 2011 was for our industry. The recovery seems steady but slow in Minnesota. If you would like to indicate your state or region that would be great also. Great Year! Very good year Above average year Average year Below average year Lousy year Good...
  16. Roland GX-640- which version supports it?

    I am sure V10 does and V7,6 does not- I guess I am asking does 8.x? Thanks Gene
  17. GX-640 info please

    The GX-640 says that is a front or back loading machine- how does that work? I would have to put it in a place that would be hard to load a 54" roll. Thanks Gene
  18. Vworks 4.1.1 to 4.4 - unusable?

    Last week I was having VW freezes constantly (it had been pretty good for a while) and I thought that an upgrade couldn't be any worse... I loaded the latest version (4.4 or something) and it was unusable. Fortunately I have been burned on this stuff often enough that I set a restore point...
  19. Royal Sovereign Laminator parts?

    Does anyone have a source for parts for RS? My dealer (who is now gone) never had any luck getting parts (even the cut-off blades). Thanks Gene
  20. How do I add material between print jobs?

    I have looked in both Vworks and the printer manual and I can't find it. I know I have done it in the past... having an oldfarts day I guess. Thanks
