  1. Do you leave your printer on 24/7?

    I have a 48" ValueJet. Had it for about 2 months now. Was just told by the tech that I should leave it on 24/7 so the auto clean can do it's thing. Just seams weird to me to leave it running 24/7. I mean, the fans will never turn off and it just seams like things would get worn/burnt out...
  2. Can the usb dongle be networked?

    Can I put the Flexi Dongle on a networked hub of some sort so that my 2 computers can use it without me having to remove it? I'm not looking to run Flexi on both machines at once and if I was I would gladly purchase a 2nd license, I just want to be able to use Flexi without having to manually...
  3. Best way to find a merchant?

    I have a customer that needs some full color banners that are larger than my 48" printer. Which is the proper/best way to find a merchant here on signs101 to do the job? Just look at them all and pick one? or do I just place what I need done in a post and wait for one to contact me with a price?
  4. Laminate with clear vinyl?

    Just wondering how many ppl have done/tested it? Had recently finished an order which caused me to wipe the dust off the roll of 651 clear that I have and after playing with it made me think of how much it resembled 210 lam. Obviously there are chemical differences in the 2 materials, but as...
  5. Nesting Print & Cut jobs from Production Manager

    Background: Getting into the full color industry from using just a 24" graphtech for the past 4 years. Just bought a 1204 PrismJet, Q54 Cutter, & a 53" Enduralam laminator. Scenario: 100 products, 100 designs for each product = 10,000 files. Everyday new products and new designs are added thus...
  6. What material to use?

    Being new to the wide format full color aspect of the industry, and when I say new, I mean I'm getting my machine in 3 weeks... Anyways, I have a friend that had to replace the backboard of a basketball hoop due to a kid shattering it with a baseball. He used clear plexi glass for the backboard...
  7. Trademarking your logo

    I'm sure many of you have your company logo trademarked. Mind sharing where you had it done? Local law office? or through the web? I'm thinking about using legalzoom.com The real question I'm debating is weather or not I want to spend the extra money to get anything higher than their basic...
  8. Do you Print / Laminate / Cut from home?

    Been looking at the SW package deal of their 48" Printer / 53" Lam / 54" Cutter. Currently we (meaning the wife and I) work out of our home with just a 24" Graphtec. We do 95% of our business through our website, eBay and Amazon. Were looking into going full color to increase our sales...

    I don't have the "Actual" Flexi but I have the SignWarehouse version LXi Master Plus 8.5 I been running it for a few years on XP Pro 64 and just recently moved it to my laptop which is Windows Vista (32bit). Everything works just fine except for in the production manager, the button that you...
  10. Best way to generate 1000's of images?

    First of all, I do not have a full color printer (yet) and therefore do not have any wrap making software so I do not know if that's what I need or if there is another answer (which is why I'm asking here and ahead of time). Is there a program out there that "on the fly" will take a particular...
  11. Considering a 48" PrismJet Package from SW

    Been doing single color graphics with my Graphtec CE3000 24" machine for 4 years now. Looking to expand my business to full color. For what I do a 48" machine will be just fine for my needs. Been looking at a combo package from SW for a 48" PrismJet, a Q54 cutter, and a 53" enduralam cold...
  12. Die cutting with crop marks (how to?)

    I've been doing single color graphics for 4 years now with my Graphtec CE3000-60 MK2. This machine has the ARMS system on it but I have never used it. I found a local shop that only does posters and banners (they do not own a cutter) and is willing to print decals for me. However his machine is...
  13. Conflict when upgrading from VE LXi to flexiSIGN ?

    I have a Graphtech CE3000-60mk2 My dongle for my VE LXi Master+ 7.5 program broke on me and windows will not recognise it anymore. I hopped in the car and drove 1.5 miles to a buddy's shop where he gave me his old flexi 7.6 because he's now using flexi 8 cut & print. I uninstalled VE LXi and...
