Thanks for tutorial, I did a google search on the subject and found a few sites that explained the best intents to use for the various print formats. I have a fair grasp of the whole thing now. -t

I believe the original jpg was created using xara. the rip & print software I was using to print it was Flexi-8 Production Manager. I originally sent it as a straight jpg, as that is what the customer sent me. The final printed version was a .tif that I exported from photoshop after altering...

Follow up Hello Folks, I loaded the 150 DPI Version into the production manager - cropped out the area i was having problems with and sent to the printer, this copy still had a small bit of tiling, but it was nothing like it was in the low-res version: I proceeded by loading the image into...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions - I had my friend re-send the file at 150 dpi. I will work with the new file and report back. And Should I be using "perceptual" as my rendering intent for photos/images? I don't want Awful looking printouts. Is there a resource outlining the proper...

Hello Folks, I am getting "blocky" / "Tiled" looking areas in a banner printout. The effect appears to be a function of the way the rip is rendering the jpg. I cropped out the section and tried just sending that to the printer and got the exact same blocky print output in the higlights on the...

What angle blade do you folks use for the smallest letters? -t

Couple questions: - I'm sure you've tried - but both the computer has been rebooted and the printer power cycled? - how is the printer connected to the computer? Parallel Direct cable? LAN, Print server? - check all of the connections on both ends of the cabling. - Assuming there are no...

I had that problem on my CJ-500 after messing with the carriage board.. I thought I had caused a major issue when working on it, however all that needed to be done was Limit Initialization and all was well: follow the procedures outlined in...

Hello Folks, While attempting to calibrate and adjust the Crop Mark sensor on my newfangled SC500, I found that the small variable resistor on the Cutter Carriage board was damaged.. In fact it had fallen apart and the wiper (the small inner part that you adjust with a tweaker tool) was...

thanks!

Hello All, My newest sc-500 question is: does anyone have the proper part# or link to the correct vinyl cutting blades to use with the cj/sc-500 - The blade that is in it appears to be almost perfectly 23mm Every blade I buy out there (e-bay so far) is too long: (24.5 mm) and simply will not...

Hello folks, is there a "proper" method for loading smaller width media in the pinch rollers on the cj500? I have been cutting 12" oracal in my 500, by using the first and second pinch roller on the long grit roller, but it leaves a good 5-6" of the oracal extending out to the left (facing the...

Hello All, Thanks to everyone for the help - I got it to work perfectly by following Bobs procedure.. I layed out everything on one layer, then simply selected the text & Border(s) and then selected "Arrange-->Convert to outlines", then "Arrange-->Contour--->Make Contour Cut" - then Imported...

I have only a slight fetish with the layers :) Actually I really dont care about them one way or the other. I am relatively new to flexi, and dont have an great understanding of it yet. I created the layers in an attempt to print and cut them separately while maintaining the registration...

Thanks Folks, The problem with aligning it on the install is that I am sending the business sign to the customer in the mail for him to install. Thanks for the Ideas though! -todd

Hello Folks, I am printing and plotting on a hybrid roland sc500 I need a hand on how to lay out and send this job to production manager for printing and cutting. I am making a business sign for a customer. I want the basic sign border & Lettering simply plot-cut directly out of white...

Thanks for the clarification MadSign I will not attempt to remove the "Vacuum strip". I think I understand you to say that the vacuum fan speed will be contingent on the width of the media that is in the printer. I will investigate this and report back thanks again everyone! -t

I am assuming the platten is the actual silver strip with the holes in it that "suck" the media down. I will have a look in the manual on how to remove it and check for dust & debris clogging it. I am getting my print quality narrowed down fairly well :) I have another quick question on...
