  1. VJ 1204 -- yellow printing more than yellow?

    8 years later I can't remember what I was even printing then :D But I think now the same may be true as for printing *pure* black. I use Flexi, so under Color Settings, under Rendering Intent, choose "pure hue" for the appropriate color. I haven't tested on yellow and can't remember what I even...
  2. Replaced VJ1204 head.....now yellow will not flow solid thru lines? (bubbles)

    A super late thanks and update.....I changed my email and was unable to fully login/reply till I finally figured it out. Anyway printhead replaced successfully, new dampers/o-rings installed and it is now back and flowing like butter!!!! Glad the solution was that "simple".
  3. Replaced VJ1204 head.....now yellow will not flow solid thru lines? (bubbles)

    I just replaced our vj1204 printhead, the black was partially clogged and the head was over probably 5 years old. However with the new head, now during cleaning, yellow line(s) will pull ink through a little bit, then feed back to where it originally started. At first it seemed like a vacuum...
  4. Switched from 10.0 to 10.5, now colors don't reproduce right with same profiles??

    Figured it out.... For any future searchers............ Think I figured it out, appears that the cyan in the Valuejet started running out before it warned me. Lol First time it's done that, it actually eventually ran completely out before the printer even stopped printing for it. Just...
  5. Switched from 10.0 to 10.5, now colors don't reproduce right with same profiles??

    Long story short, I upgraded to 10.5 from 10.0 (sign-pro). Rather than redownload and customize the printer/icc profiles, I just copied and pasted from the old 10.0 folder (under Windows' Program Files) into the new 10.5 folder.......I did it for the .icc profiles and my predefined saved media...
  6. Replacement dongle for $235!? Or upgrade to Flexi Pro 11/12?

    I guess I should close this thread out! We chose to bite the bullet and get a replacement key. For the record and anyone searching this it is currently $255, plus $19.95 shipping (that's regular GROUND shipping, and doesn't even include for the required return [RMA] shipping!! Total rip off!!!)...
  7. Replacement dongle for $235!? Or upgrade to Flexi Pro 11/12?

    The dongle on our Flexi Pro 10.5 partially fried a while back, and after calling SAI, was given a price of $235 to replace it!! Would have been a timed replacement, until they receive our "bad" key back. This was now over a 1.5 years ago, I've just "put up" with it because it runs for so long...
  8. Magnum magnets flying off vehicles

    Thanks for the great tips. Right now - hopefully it will work as I need something soon - I am printing/laminating and will just contour cut the shapes, not a large piece of vinyl, and use the MagX magnetic instead. They claim the same strength (85lb/sft) as the Magnum. I will try to experiment...
  9. Magnum magnets flying off vehicles

    Hmmmm, yes it does look that way, thanks. Still doing some hard research on it. It looks like A) they are going the "cheaper" manufacturing route, and/or B) perhaps partly because of that, calendered vinyl and/or laminate is not helping the situation. I'm using Oracal 3651g / 210m and applying...
  10. Magnum magnets flying off vehicles

    I'm having problems with Magnum Digi-Mag magnets flying off vehicles. Has anybody had problems with this? It is the Digi-Mag, .030 24" rolls. We print/laminate/apply to the magnet. This has happened twice now, first was with several 8" ROUND magnets, second time (just now) with 12" x 18" magnets...
  11. Best vinyl / printing method for plastic chemical bottles?

    Thanks......strong adhesive, what I was thinking. I just found a sample printed polyester sheet Summa supplied with our DC4, made for "caution"-style labels, and the adhesive is very sticky (probably 3M, didn't even look), perhaps similar to Stouse's. Have not tried applying it yet or looked up...
  12. Best vinyl / printing method for plastic chemical bottles?

    I am needing to print some chemical description/ratings labels for plastic bottles. They will need to be chemical- and/or acid-resistant (to what degree I don't know but will assume pretty strong). Would prefer to simply inkjet print on Oracal 3651 and laminate with Oraguard 210 as I do for...
  13. Matte gold - 2 issues with Summa DC4?

    This is totally odd.....I have always had this issue, but your post has opened up a new door. I just realized that yes I can click on the default black swatch (NOT Summa's palette) and in ColorControl I have always used 'spot colors only'. But....with this black, 'spot colors only' is not...
  14. Matte gold - 2 issues with Summa DC4?

    For any future Google-lers of this same subject....Summa's Matte Gold ID is 31. I called Summa support instead, and received a very helpful response from them, big thumbs up for Summa there! In 17 minutes I was guided through the firmware update, and beings my CorelDraw palettes never did...
  15. Matte gold - 2 issues with Summa DC4?

    I just checked the printer's firmware tonight....guess it's older than I thought. "Main Rev: 5.1 Engine Rev: 5.1 Build: Aug 04 2008" Will have to see about updating that and go from there. Thanks. Still does anyone have the foil number of the matte gold? Still need it to enter it into...
  16. Matte gold - 2 issues with Summa DC4?

    I have had a roll of Matte Gold foil now for well over a year now and am just now getting to use it for first time! (have a small job that needs it) But.....I have two issues with the DC4. First, I put the roll in a cassette and the DC4 will not recognize it ("invalid color ID"), and second...
  17. Wish List for Summa DC4 / DC4sx

    I'll give my two cents worth...... I can't speak from experience for either question, but i DO know that with the DC4 you CAN take out the printed media, reload and plot. ColorControl (Summa's software) has a feauture built in where you can add reg. marks before printing to allow the user to...
  18. Flexi 10 problems running on Windows 7 Pro

    A fairly new system, so no antivirus running right now (demo is even 'sleeping'). I normally use AVG. I turned off Windows Defender temporarily and didn't make any difference. I just now got it to finally print, by "duplicating" the printer setup in PM. Very same settings on both, but the first...
  19. Flexi 10 problems running on Windows 7 Pro

    Thanks both for your time, Chris I did both updates (Sentinel driver and Flexi to 10.0.4) and no joy. I've spent the last two or so hours restarting my computer (about 8 times now), switching the dongle to the other computer, trying different files (bitmap versus simple vectors), different print...
  20. Flexi 10 problems running on Windows 7 Pro

    I have more problems as well running Flexi Pro 10.0.1 on Win 7 Pro 64bit. I just recently upgraded from XP, and now the Flexi security dongle will randomly connect & disconnect (like when plugging it in), up to about every second or two, and once started will keep on until I unplug it. One day...
