  1. Question Flexi 12 files to be opened in Flexi 10

    Nope. Have to save as a 10.x file first. EDIT: Procedure is actually EXPORT as Flexi 10.x or lower.
  2. What's everyone's go to for cut white vinyl for vehicles?

    I normally use 3M IJ40C for a fleet we do regularly. It's strictly white cut vinyl on a blue vehicle. The air release is great and makes the installs so quick. HOWEVER....we have had to remove some of the graphics now and the grey back adhesive SUCKS removing. So what is everyone's favorite...
  3. Bad service from signs 365

    That's a shame...letting one bad experience terminate your relationship. Hope all your customers don't do that. You didn't go in to detail, so I assume they're "screwing the pooch" was entirely their fault? I've had nothing but good luck with them, they have accommodated us every time. Even...
  4. Question Clear printable vinyl instead of translucent 3850 oracal on lighted faces

    I use mostly 3651 for clear needs. It's a 5 year outdoor....with a laminate you should get fairly decent life out of it.
  5. Flexi overcut

    It's still there, when you hit Cut/Plot and screen opens up, tab with the blade and + sign
  6. How to build a $1,000,000 Sign Shop

    Oh god no....these are the tightwadiest customers around! Almost all real estate people are pains....always wanting cheap cheap cheap, and making 50 revisions to a stupid rider sign.
  7. Print - Cut off

    I have been having issues with cutting my prints (HP560, cut on Q54) intermittently. No matter how carefully I set it up, the cuts would be off just slightly. I was also having a lot of headstrikes while printing, and finally dropped the heat down several notches to keep my vinyl from buckling...
  8. Oralite 5600 Reflective Vinyl - Has anybody ever tried wet applying?

    Not supposed to wet apply 5600. Or practically any standard reflective.
  9. Suggestions Applying acrylic deminsional letters with VHB to a freshly painted wall

    How thick are they? Height? Small stuff can go up and be no problem. Anything thicker that 1/4" and taller than maybe 6" I would tell them they aren't going up for 2 weeks so paint cures.
  10. Feedback on Layout

    I deleted Brady Bunch font from my computer the day I started here.
  11. Printing On Optically Clear Laminate - Roland VP 540

    Yes it is clear, but does have a yellow tint. We'll use it in a pinch, but prefer proper optically clear laminate or clear vinyl.
  12. Recommendation for application tape for vinyl lettering

    4075 RLA for everything. Have been using Grimco's Briteline + as well, and am very happy with it. See little difference in the 2, and Briteline is a lot cheaper.
  13. Question Flexi - Measurement Tool - Fractions?

    If we'd all just convert to the metric system the world would be a happier place! 28.4 cm is just that.... or 284 mm if you wanna get more techinical!
  14. Question Flexi - Measurement Tool - Fractions?

    Nope. It's in decimal only. That's typical of any design or CAD software. Never crossed my mind once in 30 years of computer design to have measurements displayed in fractions.
  15. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    CTRL+M is zoom to all objects as long as I can remember. One of my everyday shortcuts. Color Mixer on or off is just M.
  16. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Just hit Ctrl+M if it takes you off your art.
  17. Flexi Cloud Update SP5 Build 2898

    Man, I wish I hadn't updated. Production Manager is buggy as f*(k. Shuts off randomly, and when I am deleting jobs I am done with, it just goes in to spinning circle mode. I guess I need to reinstall it when I have time. Really messing with my schedule as we're pretty busy.
  18. Just In Product examples/situaions where you WOULDN'T need lamination

    Longevity of window decals depends mostly on the vinyl you use, not the ink. I've printed decals that lasted 6-7 years and some that lasted 6 months. All depends on the type of vinyl. If you laminate, then they will last a very long time, again depending on the the vinyl AND laminate type.
  19. What percent do you markup off the shelf parts & retail items on average?

    Jewelry stores are typically 4x markup. Your stores like Kay and Jared and the like....some are even more. You would be surprised how cheap all that jewelry really is (manuf. cost).
  20. App tape on wrap graphics?

    I wrapped a bunch of vans for Safety Kleen, and they provided the wraps. ALL of them like this. You just have to lay as much flat parts as you can, then when you get to a curve, peel off the tape to expose the vinyl. The nice thing with these was that they had them all cut to shape of doors...
