  2. has anyone used this stuff before? good/bad

    I've never tried the Siser material, but I've used several rolls of Colorprint from here > > > http://specialtymaterials.com/index.php?page=colorprint-solvent I use the cps2160 for the ecosol roland printer. It's rated for 30-50 washes if I remember right. Prints great, transfers with...
  3. Making signs but not installing

    I don't do many sign installs either being a one man show. My wife and son help me on easy installs, which is what we can reach from an 8' ladder. I tell the customer up front on the installs I don't want, and many times they have a maintenance man, or know someone who can do it. Hasn't...

  5. Help opening a .cdr file

    CDR is in the flexi import list, but I get the "File Format Not Supported" message also. Like Flame said, export the Corel file as an .ai file, and it imports into flexi perfectly. I always use .ai version 1.1 It keeps everything like it should be. Some of the other file types result in...
  6. Recreating art from a photo ???

    The original file would be your best bet, so all the lines meet. Easy enough to do in Corel, so I'm sure you could trace it in illustrator with a bezier tool. I would zoom in and use the pen tool, strart tracing trying to stay exactly in the center of each line. When you have all the...
  7. Wrap vinyl for striping ?

    I have a big rig to put some white stripes on, and due to some rivets would need to use a cast vinyl. Got plenty of Arlon 6000xrp cast wrap vinyl. The specs say 7 year unprinted, so I'm thinking I could use it instead of ordering some regular cast white. I wouldn't see a need to...
  8. Encad novajet 500s

    like O Paint' said, I don't think it will run a dry print either. Just not sure that would give you a "media out" error, but it's possible. Are you testing with empty cartridges....or no cartridges?
  9. Encad novajet 500s

    I had a 42e and 500, but it's been long enough I don't remember either light, or much about the control panel. If you're using narrow rolls, make sure the paper is loaded closest to the control panel so the sensors see it. Maybe a sensor is bad or disconnected? Is there a "load media"...
  10. 4x8 coroplast screen print signs

    Might be someone here that does them, but I have used SignMaster several times, and they did a good job. They can digital print them if you want a photo.
  11. How can I recreate the starbust like gradient on this...

    In Corel, you can give the box a gradient fill, and set it to "conical" in the fountain fill box. Probably about the same thing in illustrator.
  12. Ink Bleeding on a VP-540

    You might try GCVP :Glossy Calendered Vinyl (ESM) setting for the Arlon 4560 Tried the Arlon profile, and it looked like what you're getting.

  14. Vinyl Express Software for 64-bit

    I'm running VE 6.6 v1 on a windows 7 pro machine, with virtual pc and xp installed. Other than a couple extra steps on startup........it works fine.
  15. LXI and windows 7

    I'm running 6.6v1 on my new machine with windows 7 pro, and here's how I got it to work. If you have 7 pro. Download and install virtual pc, and windows xp. Start windows xp. Install LXI 6.6v1 in xp. Install the hasp driver so xp sees the dongle. Now you can exit xp. In your windows...
  16. Windows 7 - Corel X3 - Versaworks

    thanks javila, I had already tried installing that way a couple times, and it won't work either. Windows 7 doesn't see the driver, says "no information about your driver" and "make sure your your software is compatible" It's working fine exporting to pdf, it's just another step to the...
  17. Windows 7 - Corel X3 - Versaworks

    Hi Skye, Thanks for the help...that does work, but different than I'm used to. I have always printed to versaworks straight from Corel, without having to export the file first. Guess I will have to get used to a new way of doing it, at least until Rolands comes up with a usb 7 driver...
  18. Windows 7 - Corel X3 - Versaworks

    I have a new windows 7 pro machine. Installed corel x3....works fine. Installed Versaworks, and installed the updates. If I open Versaworks, and drag a jpeg from my desktop into it, it works, and prints fine. But, the problem is that neither Versaworks or sp300v shows up in my printer...
  19. Exporting from PS to Flexi

    I use one version of flexi only to cut vinyl. I save from Corel Draw as an .ai 1.1 file. This file import perfect for me, some of the other extensions result in jagged edges or broken lines. Might be worth a try. If you're exporting gradients...this may not work for you.
  20. New RIP machine....Windows 7????

    It's a new Dell computer...and after this mess, probably my last Dell. Right now, I'm back to my old 2002 dell. Glad I left all my programs and stuff installed, so it was ready to go back to work. I will try the Windows 7 install again when the new drive gets installed. They are sending...
