Flexi running in xp mode takes about 5 mins to load, after that it's pretty sluggish.

Oh jeez.

If it's anything like the revolutionary features of their other printers, then they probably finally developed a "weaving" pattern to reduce banding.

That's the wost logic regarding color space I've every read, I don't know where you picked up that "knowledge" but don't go back to it, and stop spreading it around. You can print the same color gamut with a 2ppi image that you can with a 300 pi image if you keep the same color space,bit...

I keep the original files as their native formats. The jpgs are only done to send to the rip.

The space savings on an 11 compression jpeg vs an lzw compressed tiff is enough for me. Any artifacting that shows at that level of compression would be hidden away by the dot printing nature anyways. Artifacting from jpeg compression doesn't show it's face unless you're compressing them at...

Pretty much stick to 75 or 80 ppi when designing anything bigger than a legal size print. If there's gonna be alot of small details bump it up to 100-125 ppi. A 1" x 1" print at 100 ppi is identical to a 10" x 10" print at 10ppi. Exact bit by bit information. So designing at a scale is...

Your pdf settings are probably upsampling any raster data in the file. Sift through the settings and find the "resample" section and set everything to "do not resample".

Yes, the issue is whether it's comfortable or not. My current 24" is 1920x1200. It's great for all programs, I'm abou two or three feet away.. If you're gonna use a 46" tv that's the same res, you'll need to be a lot further back to be able to do anything without hurting your neck.

dameon tools: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/downloads Version I've installed with http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon The "lite".

Running the latest with no issues. They now provide ink consumption and print time estimates on the jobs, which is nice, but I'm not sure how accurate they are. Making me think twice about the prices for full color prints. Might have to redo some profiles.

Flexi 7.6 won't run on a 64 machine. =(. I got it running in a virtual machine, but not an actual machine. It will however run fine in a 32bit machine. I got Quickbooks 07 running in both server/regular modes. Don't know about the others. XP mode depends on hardware virtualization, but...

210 is 54"

You don't need anything higher than 100 ppi if you're gonna print something at 54" and see it from say 5-8 ft. (Digital images don't have dots they have pixels)

I would have pushed it out of illustrator as an eps. Get the images at final res of about 100-125ppi(this step along would have lowered the file tremendously)*, vector all the small text. Assuming there were little or no raster effects attached to the tiny text. *I use jpgs for everything...

Windows 7 x64 has dealt me very very little hassles at all. Only this obscure card reader won't get set up. All retail version of windows 7 will come with both 32 and 64 bit btw. Probably should have built that file as a pdf or eps, it would have cut down the size tremendously.

Wanted to give a bump to this since I just managed to install Flexi Sign 7.6 directly into windows 7 64-bit with one of the latest builds. It would not run on the beta or RC1. You'll get an error midway through the install, but everything works fantastically. P.S. Windows 7 if officially done!

I only use flexi for cut vinyl, everything else gets done in AI/PS/Corel and ends up going through Versaworks.
