So I have a customer that is wanting a reflective decals that is both black and white but needs to be reflective and have front adhesive. I do front adhesive all the time, but with the backside of the reflective material being silver and not white, I'm not sure how to achieve the white when...

So I have been offering the silver metallic laminate from Mactac for years but it appears they no longer make it. Anyone know of a close alternative?

Now before everyone starts telling me how RGB and CMYK blacks are different and how I should just start using CMYK black since it prints correct in my case; that is not what I'm after. Let me explain. I have a custom profile for my VS-300i that has been printing colors perfectly (including RGB...

Not looking for the actual logo but have customers request that they want a similar font used for their registration numbers. Anyone have a close match for something like this?

So yesterday I seen this rip error when trying to print a file I've printed 100 times. Today, different file but same error. I've restarted the software, the computer, updated Windows (10), cleared job log, copied the file into a new file but nothing seems to fix it. I can say both files have...

This one has me confused. 8 color machine with white and silver not being used (cleaning cartridges in those slots). Today the cyan didn't print. Pulling ink with syringe or head cleaning will get it going. But if I try and print just a solid 100% cyan bar it starts dropping out immediately...

Not sure if anyone remembers this brand (now defunct) but wondering if anyone recognizes the fonts. "one" is pretty generic but TURN is a little more unique. Customer is replicating an old racing motorcycle and they need this logo. I am not able to find any vectors of it since I think they...

Anyone recognize this one?

Is there a way to make the target swatches larger when creating a new ICC profile? I've done so many profiles over the years but these tiny quarter inch swatches are just too small to get accurately or efficiently. Sometimes I have to scan a line 10-20-30 or more times before I get the right...

So I've had my VSi for about 9 months now and it still bothers me that the red looks more washed out/orange than my SP. Both rip/print through Flexi (Cloud) using custom profiles. Pretty much all the stock swatch colors in Flexi print identical but the red. I've tried all the little tricks...

So the shipping industry is crazy right now as most of you know. It was bad for almost the entire year thanks to Covid, then the election (for USPS anyway) and now the holiday rush. Every day I am dealing with customers complaining about not getting there packages fast enough (as they should...

So I have seen this a lot since upgrading to v19 over a year ago. Open an old (v12 or older) file that is circular in shape with a cut line and it will make some odd loop on the edge somewhere (see arrow pointing to the loop). Then when you click on the object it makes the object have some...

This is odd. So I've had my VSi for about 6 months now (alongside my SPv that I've had for over 10 years) and the print/cuts have always been spot on since I first calibrated it. Then today I had a sheet where the feed cut was off by enough that it was visible noticeable. Think 1/8" wide...

Customer sent me this decal and wants me to match. I had some leftover 3M 1080 that is pretty close (not even sure what the color I have is; gloss white aluminum?) but wondering if anyone has some suggestions on a material I can print on that is better suited that would be similar to this. The...

Anyone else seeing the scam USPS has going on right now? I'm constantly dealing with customers because USPS states they never picked up packages we shipped (they clearly did). Seems like they are just randomly scanning things in if they feel like it. Even have had some customers state their...

First let me preface by stating I am comparing my new to me VS-300i to my old SP-300V I have been running for over 10 years. The SP prints my stock Flexisign Red (RGB 255,0,0) pretty much perfect. It's deep and solid like a red sign vinyl (though I do get white spots occasionally). Both...

Pretty sure I've had this problem before and it was a setting with color trapping or overprint (or something) but after hours of searching and playing with settings I couldn't find the answer. I drew this simple box to show the issue. There is no stroke. Just a simple red box on top of solid...

Finally broke down and bought a new (to me) VS-300i to help out with my old SP-300v and for some reason now my SP colors are all way off. I double checked and I'm using the same profile I always have been using so not sure why the sudden change. Only thing I changed was the name so it's easier...

I can't figure this one out. I have a silver I added to my color chart (many years ago) but some random files when I try to use it the color converts to a tan color just in the software. I'm pretty sure it prints as silver but if I'm trying to preview the image for a customer it doesn't look...

I have yet to upgrade to 19 due to the color horror stories I have heard so I am on 12 Cloud SP3 p4 2568. But lately I have noticed all kinds of odd things happening: When I have several windows open and go to look at "more windows" it automatically asks me on each and every window I have open...
