Thanks Chris, I've also been a CD X4 user long before Flexi, and I must admit "user training" (me being the only primary user) is part of the problem. But part program too -- seems everytime I shut it down and restart it all the toolbars are reset. I spent several minutes just the other day...

Very much so :wink: I simply filled several small boxes with various process fills. Thanks for the tip, I haven't gone that far yet (honestly I'm not sure what it's set at right now). I do have the settings set for the particular vinyl it's printing on. I'll give that a try.

Does anyone know why my 1204 prints magenta and cyan as well as yellow in a fill that's supposed to be all yellow?? I'm trying to match an off white, and in doing some test fills, I designed several fills, some of which I assigned 3 - 15% yellow fills, no C, M, or K. I'm using Flexi Pro 8.5...

Thanks for the reply as well, and you're right. We also deal with several of our local law enforcement offices around the area (tactical gear dealer), and have been asked by an officer if we are able to print these. So it would definitely be for a legitimate cause, really the only question was...

:omg::omg: Thanks for the tip -- Will definitely give that a try!!!

Thanks for your reply, appreciate it! Looks like that may be our best or only option.

If I'm printing on clear and NOT doing process, I'll set Optitrac as white, as it's only one of two (I think) foils that doesn't print all the way across, just the ends. Otherwise it's -- 1. cyan for process jobs, or 2. most used foil for spot jobs (besides any shade of red). User configs are...

I'll be following this thread..... 1. As is stated in the manual, do not print any shade of red as the Optitrac color. (tried burgundy before reading that, wondered why I almost always got a reg. mark error!!:doh:) If I'm printing on clear vinyl w/ spot colors and one color's not used through...

I would appreciate anyone's help or advice on this subject. I'd like to know if any of you have printed the Thin Blue Line (TBL) as decals, etc.? I've done research and can't find anything about the legal aspect of printing these. I've kinda looked at Wikipedia's page as the most "official"...

Thanks for the replies! I'm attempting to blame the video card for some of it, as I had terrible problems with the screen refreshing in Composer, but I can't be positive. Thanks PMG for the info on 8.5/8.6, might have to look into that. I'm just starting to learn the program, and it's going to...

We bought Flexi Pro 8.5 to use in conjunction with our VJ-1204. I must admit, I do NOT enjoy using the program. This is the slowest and most complicated, hard to use program out of our bunch -- the small bunch which is Corel X4 and Composer 2.6, along with Flexi now. Simple fills are hard to...

Late on the bandwagon I know, but... No compromise. :wink: I have no idea why it WOULDN'T be set to high. It obviously wastes serious foil, specially with partial-width prints. With it OFF, every foil goes from one edge to the other, whether there's 2 or 52 inches of "print" in there. With it...

BUMP! Anybody have any suggestions? I'm sure there's some Edge users who would use a Graphtec....... not sure if the marks would be the same though. Thanks!!

Okay, here's some exaggerated samples. First shows how it should look (and does look in GSPPlot), Second is what actually prints out. I would like to try to get the FC7000 to plot from the Maxx printer somehow, any help would be appreciated!

Hi - When I choose "Graphtec Type 2" targets from the targets box in GSPPlot, it pictures the perfect "corner" targets pointing in as it should. But when I print it on the Maxx2, it has completely different targets -- the one side are "L" shaped pointing OUT, and the other is just short...

Thank you Karen, we've just left it for now -- and yes the decal's for us so it's not that big a deal:wink: -- we were just going to do it in vinyl (solid), but that is worth a try. I tried adding noise in PhotoPaint, I can easily see your point there, it should help. We'll give that a try...

....That I did. :wink: I figured it would take me quite a bit longer than it did, but it took me about 45 min. or so. It still needs a few minor fixes, but otherwise it will do much better than what CD created. Old's on left of pic, new on right. I probably should have used a conical fill...

Not quite sure what you mean here...... I noticed it looks like the bitmap (when uncombined) is actually "masked" in the shape of the object, or at least I assume. I can node edit the outline of the bitmap, but it simply "crops" it. I tried Xara Xtreme, it's beveling capabilities are better in...

Looks like freehand's the way to go. I found one tutorial on Letterhead fonts ("prismatic" or something like that. Thanks luggnut!) that helped give me a little idea. Just a little more work than I expected, but I guess everything can't be instant can it? :biggrin::biggrin: I agree Joe, I'd love...

I'd love to, but am afraid it's a bitmap bevel, not vector.:wink: Unless I'm missing something.
