  1. MS Windows 10 Creators Update breaks things.

    So, I recently put together a simple file server for the shop. Windows 10 Machine. Added an extra hard drive with basic open shares so all PCs on the network can access. It is on the internet... But set so updates only go when I say. But man, the nags are out of control. So the two issues. 1)...
  2. preference setting

    Everything you describe only happens when you double click (as opposed to single). Is that what your doing? Or do you have some other software that controls mouse input that could be causing the problem?
  3. Corel or Adobe?

    In my mind (in the twisted knot hole on the back side of the spectrum) its like this in regards to design programs. Imagine having a slotted screw to turn. And you have a some screw drivers: Long flat head, stubby flat head, a butter knife and a spoon. They will all get the job done. They will...
  4. Bleed outline sometime hollow

    I'm not sure why it happens. But I find it occurs when I try yo apply multiple flexi effects on an object. I think flexi just gets confused with certain shapes. My fix is just to place an outline effect / Bleed first. Then separate this effect so the bleed is just a shape (not grouped or...
  5. Illustrator Plugin for Templates

    I tried previously to find a plugin for Illy that pulled in the data similar to Flexi, to no avail. At least at that time. What I ended up doing is building my template to suit (meaning set it up how I actually use it in Flexi, Because we use both here) Then exported all the versions of it from...
  6. Bands when printer stops

    Yes, VW does issue the warning. But I don't trust it. I mean I know Roland spent millions on engineers to figure out that feature. But in practice I have seen cartridges last weeks.WEEKS, after the warning. I guess I got caught in that school of thought that the warning was a ploy by Roland to...
  7. Bands when printer stops

    Yep that is what I thought. I've been at this a long while. Just figured maybe there might be another solution. And as I mentioned in my op, swapping early is what I've been doing. Also, your right, ink isn't so expensive that I have to milk every drop out. I'm with you here. But its a bit of a...
  8. Bands when printer stops

    Hi All, Sorry if this question falls in the amateur hour category, but the search didn't yield the results I was looking for. So what happens is when my machines (SC-545, VG-640) stop for just a sec to change inks, I get this band of lighter color. Very apparent on images with solid color. Not...
  9. R.I.P Old Paint

    Damn. That is unfortunate. R.I. P. Sir.
  10. Need Help Back Up Solution

    Hi All, Hopefully you are not in the shop working or reading this on a Saturday AM. I would hope you are somewhere on a golf course, or basketball court, or in a pool or in front of a grill. Or just doing what ever you do to relax. Finally got some time so I thought I should come back post my...
  11. How do I turn the canvas off in Flexi?

    Is this what you're looking for? Not sure if its the same in your version. I'm on v8.6.
  12. Need Help Back Up Solution

    Hi All, With a heavy heart I'm seeking advice on this problem. I come in the shop this Monday to find and disturbing email from my estimator. Something to the effect of, "I can't access the server..." The long and short of it is this: Our file server died. Mind you, we do have a back up, but I...
  13. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    Where do I start Word docs, excel spread sheets, logo images plucked off websites and MS publisher files submitted as art work. My sales guy committing to rush projects... with no consideration for the other X rush project he committed to. When customers demand same day production, then don't...
  14. Color output Issues

    Happy Friday All, Just wanted to post a follow up to this as I had the exact same situation today. Tried tweaking in RIP. Didn't work. Don't know how to effectively create new profile. Tried "density control only" in VersaWorks to no avail. GBV produced a different result. But still no were...

  16. Color output Issues

    Hi All. Happy Friday. Of course as my luck would have it, I have this rush order, due before end of biz. End of biz being the instant this job is done. Customer sends file (designed on a mac) not sure if that matters. See the issues here. what I see in photoshop. This is what come out of...
  17. Don't do business with Esco Manufacturing

    No matter how frustrating it is... :banghead: I know, I know. I feel your pain and stress. But ^^ this. Then as your watching the tv production this > :Big Laugh. Then when you move past the small beans of $170, this > :rolleyes:. Then when that invoice is paid and the accolades come in from...
  18. Project North vs True North?

    Hi All, So I'm working on some Evacuation Maps and I normally use "project north" from the plans supplied by the contractor/customer. Today customer responds to a proof asking, "What should I be using, Project North vs True North? I don't know, you are the expert." It took all of me not to...
  19. Need someone to convert file from CC to CS6

    Listen pal. I don't know who the heck you think you are... Where do you get off, coming on to my thread? Making me look like an idiot. Posting solutions and stuff... Yeah. Not sure why I didn't think of that. Worked like a charm! Thank you for the answer and quick response! Lunch on me...
