I use Flexi on a very similar setup. (VJ1204 + Summa cutter) However, I don't use "PRO". needing a RIP - I bought their "Flexi Print and Cut" package, which was a lot less money than PRO. This version doesn't have any project estimating features (which I wouldn't use anyway) After 2...

what quality-level to you use? (perhaps these settings are different, because I use Flexi for a rip though.. ) I have found that when I mix bitmaps/raster files, with vector components, I'll often get very thick black ink on the vector parts (Text, shapes, etc) - especially if I use quality 1...

certainly a topic that has been debated many times here! Personal experience: I recently upgraded from a 36 inch "chinese" cutter to a Summa 48inch. WOW! How I could have mindlessly suffered so long I just don't know! Quiet, straight, fast, easy to use, did I say quiet?.. :glasses...

yep, you were all dead-on on that one. The "racing" from pontiac was an exact match. I'd still like to find a similar font though. Thanks again for the help. heh.. still can't get over how fast Shovel knew that "revue" either... :U Rock:

wow, folks sure are fast when it comes to fonts, lol! :thankyou: as far as the "racing" goes - while this particular one just needs the word "racing" - I was hoping to find a close (not exact) font as I have other customers that use a very similar font in a few other things (now that I think...

Two fonts here actually - the "Racing" one, I'm pretty sure is an actual font, I just don't know what it is - if anyone recognizes it? Second one, the tomasi - not sure if this is an actual font, or some custom work? Anyone recognize it? Thanks in advance for any help on this! Conor

good question Bob. I didn't think it was possible to print on the mutoh directly from Corel Draw?

I've noticed a few times on mine, that the little switch / sensor sticks in place (gummed up with ink I suspect) Basically, when you pull the tray out, it should "detect" the tray being out or missing, then when you put it back, it asks "new or old?" What tipped me off, is that it didn't...

actually, purely to "keep cost down" you might want to look at Photoshop Elements. Generally, anything that works with Photoshop, works with Elements. Its actually all I've used for years. Not sure you'll find a side-by-side comparison of what its lacking, but I've added plugins and done...

weed? print and contour cut baby! they are nice though, and if done well, short of walking up and putting your hand on it, its hard to tell sometimes...:thumb:

a manequin head? what a great idea! Anytime I've done one, I've made my partner just put it on and hold still... Things usually go pretty well until I get out the torch for some heat :rock-n-roll: all kidding aside :Big Laugh I have tried a couple, without much success. You do have to...

while "get professional help" is a reasonable reply.... when it comes to computers, sadly, its not very cut'n dry for solutions. Especially when a mix of programs gets into the mix! A "shop" can test all your compenents, and perhaps have more experience at nailing down the exact errors...

does anyone happen to know how to install a new plotter in Flexi's production manager (or a new "setup" as they call it) for a plotter that is not on their list? I have the drivers... no problem there. Its a brand new Summa D120R D120 is on the list... not the "R" part when I select this...

personally, I use dreamstime.com for mine. decent prices mostly, and a really nice library/selection.

not to be a thread pirate... :thread :peace!: but it is relevant... but why convert back to jpg? Its my understanding, if you did the curves/export to eps thing - add effects in PS - then just save as psd file - it retains the transparent background? Which you can then outline in...

also, just re-reading some of the posts - and I'm not convinced you don't have a hard drive problem. Even though it "tests" ok... failing hard drives can cause some really odd problems. Something caused that original problem, and its likely the same thing keeping the re-install from working...

personally, I'd try copying the whole CD to a temporary folder on your computer, remove the CD from the drive, and run the install from this temp folder (hard drive) this would rule out some disk read errors and CD problems. The idea of trying an install on another computer (even an old...

what plans / type / etc are you building on Geiger? It does look like a daunting task, but broken down into small, individual tasks, I think its quite do-able, and would be a lot of fun! Personally, I've been looking real hard at the http://www.mechmate.com/ (which someone mentioned here...

I'm at home right now, so I can't provide links - however my experience is that Mutoh has pretty extensive database of profiles for different brands and types of media. However most major media manufacturers also provide profiles for their own media, for many different printers...

well, if it will run in safe mode, you could try booting in safe mode, then run "msconfig" (in the run command box) go to the startup tab, and disable everything. Then try a reboot. if it works, then something in your startup is crashing, try turning on one at a time (likely stuff in there...
