Be aware that the ValueJet 1604 (64 inch) and 1204 (48 inch) are able to use the same profiles, much like the Roland VersaCAMM SP 30 inch and 54 inch can. This is because in each case, the only difference between the units is the media width (at least from the output profile's perspective)...

VersaWorks 2.3.0 is current as of a couple of weeks ago...Vista compatibility is it's claim to fame. Bob

Here is a link to download the latest version of Graphtec bridge software: http://www.graphtecusa.com/products.php?cat_id=1&visit=img&series_id=33&view=D Bob

Stan: You have clearly never worked with Scanvec Amaible...as Flexi 6.5 is at least 5 years old, with numerous updates since then, you can expect their response to be to upgrade to Flexi 8. Bob

The Graphtec FC5100 will run with the FC4100 driver, just be sure that the handshaking parameters are all set consistently on the plotter (via the control panel) as well as in the Production Manager application. These settings include port#; baud rate/ speed;data bits; stop bits; parity...

Head should be UP

I would first look at communication issues on your network or USB interface. Has anything changed that would correspond with the onset of the problem (changing protocols, added or removed equipment, new router or ISP)? Bob

I would guess that you are seeing the characters in a data set. This is caused by the software sending data in one language, and the plotter being configured to look for another language. The most common lanugage is HPGL; however, Graphtec has a language called GP-GL, others have their own data...

As I am sure you know, the FC3100 does not have automated registration mark system (ARMS) built in to it, but you can still perform a flawless contour cut with the plotter, assuming that you have the proper software. I would recommend FlexiSIGN-Pro version 7.6 or higher (including 8.x). You...

The Graphtec printer is a re-branded Infiniti, with Xaar printheads as you correctly mentioned. The inkset that Graphtec has chosen is a light solvent ink from Toyo, and it's a good quality ink at a low price. That is the good news. The resolution of the printer is relatively low at a maximum...

While you did not mention the specific printer model that you have, I'm guessing that it is the Falcon Outdoor. This problem can occur in that printer when the capping station sponges swell, and come into contact with the printhead(s) while the heads are parked (as would be the case overnight)...

Media Profiles in RIP softwares are created for a specific set of operational settings, including print resolution (DPI), pass count, inkset, media, printer, and RIP. Changing any one (or more) of these will essentially invalidate the media profile. A good solutionis to locate profiles that...

The 147 sfph print mode is called Banner4. This mode is designed for printing on scrim banner media. Scrim banners often have scrim patterns in them, and tend to hide various print artifacts, such as banding. While the Wave interleave pattern does indeed do a good job with hiding banding, the...

Looks scary to me.

Which printer do you use? What type of connection are you using (network, USB, Parallel)? Bob

The Seiko ColorPainter 64s has been re-branded worldwide (except Japan) as the HP Designjet 9000s, for over a year now. Finding a brand new 64s in the USA would be unusual. I would look at the Z6100 (brand new, not shipping until June). The 42 inch unit will sell for around the same price...

Have you attempted to open the PDF directly into Production Manager? I do this often, and it's possible to scale the file to desired size right in the Job Properties window of Production Manager. Of course, you cannot edit the file in Production Manager. Acrobat PDF files generally will open...

Are you importing the PDF into Flexi in order to print it through the RIP?

What version Of Flexi are you running? Look in Flexi or Production Manager under the Help > About Menu. YOu must be running 7.6 or higher to use the PTF file format.

FlexiPro 7.6 and higher (8.x) are able to use the PTF file format. Previous versions of 7 use the CFT format. Both of these plug into and are accessed by the Production Manager program, and not the FlexiSIGN application. PTF files plug into the Production Manager via File Menu > Import Preset. Bob
