Thank for all the replies I learned some good info. Thanks again.

I switched out my router a month or so ago, and since then I had to change my FX IP address which allows me to print fine. However when I start up the machine a message comes up stating "can not find in DHCP" the printer works fine but my wireless connection to my computer the printer is hooked...

Thanks for the responses so far. I dome many of the labels/decals we produce with the rest getting lam just wasn't sure if these fade in the sun or the concern with the outdoor use is rubbing or chemicals. Also how does the silver medal compare to lets say a chrome vinyl? I have some decals...

Just wanted to get some real world experience with the medal foils. I am looking into adding some silver medal accents to some prints and have never used any of the medal series. Does anyone have an example of something they have printed? how well does it hold up outside if laminated? does it...

The display on the FX is saying foil mismatch when I put in the first foil (black), but I will give this option a try because I have tried just about everything else. Thanks.

I have a particular print that I am using just 2 spot colors black and atomic red and clear to allow the vinyl to show through. When I send the print the FX is giving me a foil mismatch error. Also when I send the print from GSPplot I get a mismatched material/foil types. I am totally lost I...

I am printing on a FX. Where should I uncheck the CMYK and select Grayscale. I almost always just print spot colors and this is the first time it has come up. Also I tried selecting the spot color option with black which worked, but I lost a lot of detail in the lighter areas. Any other...

I have a gray scale jpg I need to print and my questions are will it print in CMYK? or is there a way to print it with just black foil with the white vinyl showing through for the highlights? would this need to be setup in Omega or the design software (Photoshop)? Thanks for any help.

Anyone have any luck printing on diamond plate vinyl? if so what brands? Thanks in advance

Got the printer working but a new question arose. I changed the IP address on the FX then reinstalled in Omega and got it to work. However when I start up the fx it says something along the lines of it can not be found in the DCHP. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Turned on the fx sent print to fx and an error popped up. The message stated "Error on bind = 10048 for 0" If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. The message is occurring in the Omega 3.0 software not the printer itself. It looks like everything is working OK but...

Thats kind of what I thought but this last job I ran was just one solid fill color on top of white vinyl but at the edges of the graphic (vector) the image was a little jagged. I plan on doing a side by side test, but wasn't sure if there was a difference other than possibly being a little...

When printing with the FX are there any benefits to printing at 600dpi when you have solid fills? Does 600dpi use any more ribbon? Why or why not print at 600dpi? Something I never gave much thought until a customer asked. I understand the dots per inch for a normal printer but since Gerber...

I need a little input regarding the Gerber Spectratone guide. I would say 90% of the stuff I do is using spot colors with solid fills. What I need is input whether or not I should shell out the $300 bucks to purchase one. In concept it seems very valuable but wanted to know what you all thought...

Here is a response I received from Fred a while back when I asked the same question: There are a few things I've found to be helpful. For images, use the STCPhoto halftone and set the LPI to between 60 and 70. For vectors, use the Classical Dot halftone and set the LPI to 53 for work with...

It was a hardware issue. Bad motor. Thank you for the replies.

I am using Omega 3.0

I am printing with an FX and here is the problem. Decal has three colors black, red, and silver. Black and silver print fine but when it comes to a couple small red details the printer pauses makes a noise skips then repeats (pause, skip, noise). What results is the red details are misaligned by...

Thanks for the tip. That is exactly what I did and they turned out perfect.

Perfect I will give that a try. I am new to the omega software and I have a lot to learn.
