  1. Dead Flexi Help

    You're welcome - I didn't know that there was a parallel function in the Mac version of Flexi. Thanks for sharing that! Bob
  2. Only Two Black Nozzles in Nozzle Check

    For some reason, the larger versions of the nozzle check test patterns in this thread are not opening on my computers - I've tried two machines, one with Vista and one with XP, each running IE7. The largew view never opens... Bob
  3. need profile so i can print from flexi

    When Flexi 7.5 was current (2004 or thereabouts), the Roland XC540 did not exist. That is why it's not available to select for set-up. You would need to upgrade to a more recent version of Flexi to be able to drive that printer. Bob
  4. Mutoh Rockhopper 3 65 inch

    Oops...I stand corrected. Bob
  5. Mutoh Rockhopper 3 65 inch

    The Xerox-branded machine is an OEM version of the Mutoh Falcon II (Robkhopper II). It is no longer produced, and was current perhaps 3-5 years ago, before the ValueJet line was introduced. Bob
  6. Printing on flag material

    Printing on 'flag' material with a solvent printer is far from ideal, particularly when long-term outdoor use is needed. In the USA, federal and state flags are traditionally produced using screen printing. These flags are always printed on nylon material. Nylon offers a very high degree of ink...
  7. Help, with Print Speed!

    To my knowledge, RIPC is firmware-based, and is supported only on certain printers. The VersaCAMM line is not one that RIPC is available for. The XC and newer VersaART machines offer this, among others. Bob
  8. HP Designjet 4500

    The Designjet 4500 is a CAD plotter. While it is a very fast device, it is poorly suited to sign related work. It uses only dye-based inks and requires inkjet coated (pricy) media. Bob
  9. Graphtec FC3100-60 error 1- instruction not recognized flag

    I would surmise that the problem is one of two things: 1. Assuming that you are using a serial / com port, the Graphtec will require a specific cable, which has pins 2 and 3 crossed. If you are using a standard cable (straight through), you will get this error. As you are unlikely to have...
  10. FlexiSign-Pro Question

    I believe that the later version(s) of FlexiSIGN-Pro have taken the engraving routines, such as hatch patterns, and moved them to an engraving product called FlexiENGRAVE. You should be able to use a nested series of inlines, with one offset inside of the next, until all of the space is eaten...
  11. Color correction?

    Clearing the 'Color Correction' check box turns off the ICC profile component of your color management media setup. It may offer a larger color gamut, but at the cost of less color accuracy in your printed output. Bob
  12. Networking SP300v

    A print server will work fine. I would recommend a non-wireless model. Bob
  13. HP5000ps / UV Color questions

    The simplest (and most useless) answer is because the printer is putting down too much magenta ink in the areas that should be blue, causing the shift into the purple range. The real question is, why is this happening? There are several possible causes. 1) Monitor is not calibrated. What you...
  14. versacamm error(0111) when cutting

    Roland DGA is in Irvine CA (800) 542-2307; they may be willing to walk you through it, or can recommend a local point of service. Bob
  15. versacamm error(0111) when cutting

    Error Code 0111 Too/Crop Error Contents The error occurs when the machine performs Auto Crop Mark Detection or the Auto Print/Cut adjustment without the Tool/Crop Mark Sensor Adjustment. Cause Tool/Crop Mark Sensor Adjustment has not been performed. Action Tool/Crop Mark Sensor...

  17. versaworks problems

    Status Incomplete in Versaworks indicates that the software is seeing the printer, but the device is not 'on-line', meaning that the media is not loaded, and the media lever is in the Up position. Load media, lower the media lever, and check the printer status in Versaworks, and it should show...
  18. Dead Flexi Help

    With Flexi closed (completely), click Start > Programs > FlexiSIGN-Pro > Clear Preferences. Then confirm. You will need to recreate your plotter setups from scratch, but this will solve the problem. Bob
  19. Failed To Initialize Color Management Module

    I recall that this error is related to a problem with an invalid embedded working space profile in your data. I would open the JPG(s) in Photoshop and verify that the embedded profile is correct, and then re-RIP the file. Bob
  20. White spots on media

    White spots can be caused by over-inking the media. This is often called fish-eyes. If the white spots show up in darker colors and not lighter tones, that would almost certainly be your problem. The solution is to use another media profile with lower ink limits, or to create your own (best...
