  3. Small Print & Cut Jobs

    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...

  12. FC8000 Cannot find crop marks

  19. Unable to save in Flexi

    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...
