I noticed this happened to me with a couple versions of flexi also.
I am using build 1437 now and I can drag and drop files into it and they are embedded. In some of the other upgrades it linked the jpg files that were dragged and dropped. If you Use import you can choose between the two.
I...
We found 2 things to be critical when contour cutting on our VP-540,
First, too much pressure will cause it to cut off, it will gradually cut worse and it continues the first items will be perfect and the last item the worst. cut will be off in all directions.
Second if the length is long...
You can also just open the slb file,
goto color, open table then find the "roland color system library.slb" file, mine is in the swatch library roland directory in flexi 8.6
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAi\SAi Production Suite\Swatch\Library\Roland

Black is me, blue them
problems we are having
sometimes it will find all marks and cut off using Cutting Master 2 see if same issue,
sometimes it will just start cutting without reading the marks when in ready mode, press Menu >> Up arrow >> Command >> HP-GL...
We just bought a Graphtec FC-8000 and its very tempermental.
We design and print with Flexi 8.6 to a VP540. Most things are laminated so the cutter must be able to read crop marks and align cutter
Cutter must also be 52-54" wide.
Thants the way we are doing it also.
Yesterday it just started cutting without even trying to read the marks and cut way off. then I sent the same job again (same piece of print, and same job file in flexi) and it read the marks and cut perfect.
Still waiting for the tech to get here.
Jason, havn't tried that yet. I'll give it a try tomorrow with the tech.
Bill, We are only having trouble with print/laminate/cut process, it cuts fine on just cut vinyl without crop marks.
How do you send print files from Illistrator with no rip?
Tresl. I did notice the cut master looked...
Bill,
I use Flexi 8.6 for design and rip. So are you saying you save the contour cut as a plt file from your rip then load into cut master?
What do you use to rip?
Thats where we are starting at also. Most of the time it will find 2-3 of the marks and sometimes if we hit retry it will find the rest. Sometimes it just starts cutting without reading the marks. Sometimes it reads all the marks and cuts waaaaaay off. I can send the same exact job from the...
Ya, when had them call us they had us reset the machine to factory settings. Then he told to hook up the USB cord and when we told him it was connected through the network all he said was "Oh No!"
Turning off the lights didn't work for us, rubbing the vinyl with my finger over the crop marks...
I am having the exact same problem with our FC-8000-130. 2 months old
Does anyone have a solution yet?
We also purchased this machine hoping it would save us time and now its slower than just cutting with our roland. When it works, it works good.... but it gets old having to resend the job 6...
Anybody else having trouble with the ARMS system. We have about a 50/50 chance of it finding the marks the first time. We print on a VP540 using Flexi for the rip.
What I do is keep deleting stuff untill it saves. once it saves I Undo untill everything I erased comes back. Then I delete everything that saved the first time and SAVE AS A DIFFERENT NAME.
I believe the cause is the large high res images, once the file gets so big flexi wont save it. The other...
