Connor is right Its this!!!!
The media width changed.
All you have to do is set it to 53 do not hit get media width and you should be set.
If that does not work re-open the design file and resend it the same way you printed it then send the cut file from there. Again make sure the media clamps...
The graphtec does great on cut colored vinyl but if your trying to find reg marks on glossy material it can be tempermental. Although there are many people who have good luck with theirs we could not get ours to work and replaced it with a summa.
Once you have used both you will think the summa...
I agree on 2 things
Summa over graphtec, had problems with graphtec finding marks from our roland.
And definately get a cold laminator.
And yes you can print and cut with the same machine but it will slow production. What we did before we got a cutter was print half the day then break down...
THANKS TO BOBBY
He got through to Flexi and They Fixed the profiles. Bobby E-mailed me a link to the fixed profiles I downloaded them and can now print with 10.5
I appreciate His help and Flexi for fixing this issue so fast.
Hope others will be helped also.
I am trying to load the downloaded profiles from flexi for the Roland Vp series of printers, when I try to use the profile it tells me that "the selected file is not compatible with this printer"
Flexi support has not answered or called back, neither has our dealer.
Any Ideas? I removed the...
OK to clarify if you are using a digital printer that recommends using laminate, then when laminating you should use a laminator otherwise you are offering your customers a product that is not made as well as it should be. ie silvering and small bubbles.
We bought a laminator when we bought our...
we have 2 bs's just don't laminate with them.
sorry but if you need to laminate something a laminator works much better and if you are a sign shop you should have one.
DPF4560GTX air release vinyl And 3420g (gloss) laminate for Arlon calendered vinyl.
Yes Lg is thicker or more rigid we noticed that when we tried it once. The prints would roll up when coming out of the laminator and do not with arlon.
Next....... and biggest problem is the big squeegie...
Open it with photoshop and save it as a .ps, photoshop file format. Make sure the background is transparent.
Import it into flexi add contour cut
Keep in mind if its a large layout and you rasterize it at 300dpi in photoshop the file can be quite large.
If you crated the image in photoshop,
1. make the background transparent in photoshop.
2. Save as a photoshop file, .ps
3. Import into Flexi
4. Select image
5. Select Contour cut tool, the apply with the check mark.
If you did not create the image and it does not have a transparent background...
when you goto help pulldown then choose about does it say flexi10.5PRO?
I am not sure but I think the lesser versions of flexi have some of the features missing making them cheaper.
Plus one on this also in versaworks never use center on material always use a x and y position and use a value you can remember like 1" or 1.5" on longer runs because the starting point is important for the print/cut alignment.
If you do choose center on the material, do not hit "get media...
