  1. 3M IJ180-cv3 / 8518 de-laminating

    DEFINITELY looks like a pressure washing issue. We tell customers never to use a pressure washer and to hand wash only. Issues like this pop up all the time when they do this and want me to warranty it.
  2. Suggestions windshield lettering

    I usually create a straight line (as best I can) above the windshield with painter's tape and measure the distance at 3 points from the line and recreate the arc in Flexi. I either place my text on the line or distort it to mimic the arc. It comes out very close to looking correct where only...
  3. Summa S2 160T Registration WAY Off.

    My problems with Summa, Mutoh and Graphtec, at times, was that it wouldn't read the registration marks due to the overhead lighting playing with the vinyl/lamination. With the Summa, I'd make 1" squares with a 1/8" square hole inside each one and place them over the registration mark with matte...
  4. Vinyl Rippling

    I believe this is the same material I had a problem with a few years back with a Mutoh 1624. It would tunnel like a bastage and I'd get headstrikes all the time. I lower heat in the back, then the front, changed vacuum setting and even went totally cold with heat and vacuum. It would work for a...
  5. Summa or Graphtec

    I have to agree with the majority of people in this post to say that I've also used Graphtec, Summa, Roland and Mutoh plotters over the past 20 years and the best I used was the Summa. Tight registration marks, better optical for finding them as well. As long as you kept the speed at a slow...
  6. Multiple Photos in Flexi 12

    Try to send each individual picture to Production Manager separately. Customize the print out in P.M. with the bleed, etc. without sending it. DO NOT SEND. After all 3 pics have been set up the way you want them printed, select all 3 file and NEST the files together (right click over the...
  7. Lambretta Font

    If you didn't look. Open this in either Illustrator or import the first page into FlexiSign. Good luck. Like Bobby H said, "easy find". https://www.lambretta.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/LAMBRETTA_cataloque-1.pdf
  8. Flexi 10 software

    If you just need to use it to print & cut, maybe look for a copy of Flexi Print. Might find that or Flexi Starter on eBay. SAi no longer supports Flexi 10 any longer as everything is net-based.

  10. Suggestions Trouble finding stock photos for 8' x 8' display

    Never had a problem using sites like Dreamstime, 123RF or shutterstock. The resolution can be 100ppi and print just fine in most cases, 200ppi being photographic quality. So a 6912 x 6912 image will look great. Make sure you are charging your customer if you are using stock art from a website as...

  12. Question STS MP11 (for VJ-1617H) Reviews Needed

    I've used the VJ1617H for years and loved the way you can print roll to roll AND on rigid. I've done a box truck wrap and 100 d/s coroplast in an 8 hour day. Works great and I'd get it converted to the MP-31 inks as the MP-11 cyan inks tend to gel up and wreck a printhead. This is a printer that...
  13. New problem, please help

    Same Issue... I had similar issues over the past few months with Flexi and Production Manager with regards to color. I'll print a file and it will come out perfect. I'll go to reprint and it comes out different. I'll open the file, re-rip and it will again change. It wasn't until I defaulted on...
  14. Opening CMYK and RGB files in flexi

    Similar Problem I had a job recently from a client who supplied me with PDF files from Illustrator set in CMYK. The problem was when I opened them all in Flexi, the colors shifted from a CMYK to all RGB. I've have minor shifts in color from Flexi is CMYK values but never a total change in...
  15. FC7000MK2 stuck in Cross Cutter Mode

    It's the blade that shears off the vinyl after you are done cutting. The same as a sheet cutter that's on a Roland. The FC5100 and FC8000 series didn't have these and even if I take the blade for the sheet cutter out, the mechanism is still engaged.
  16. FC7000MK2 stuck in Cross Cutter Mode

    Hey Gang... Having a GIGANTIC problem with my FC7000MK2-130. Came into the shop as I usually do on a Saturday and found that the Cross-Cutter was engaged. I don't know if anyone else played with the unit while I was away but now I can't get the blade to disengage so that the cutter can resume...
