I bought a new Rogue cutter (probably a mistake) from Signwarehouse (another mistake) and I'm having trouble with installing the cutter. The instructions they give are very generic and are not working for me. I get into it a ways and it says to right click on 64bit and select "run as...

This has been happening recently to me. When I am designing something in Flexi Pro 10 it automatically saves every 10 minutes. Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes to save. I get the dim page and says Flexi not responding and the little white circle goes round and round. This is very frustrating...

I have a new Mimaki CJV30-100. I design with Flexi Pro 10. When I use Flexi's rip or Rasterlink rip my reds are orange. Even using R-255 G-0 B-0 it still prints orange. Mimaki says draw with Illustrator and rip with Rasterlink. I don't have Illustrator and I don't want to learn a new program If...

I have a guy wanting to work for me and he designs with illustrator. I don't have Illustrator, I mostly use Flexi. I do have Gimp but have never tried it. I was told they were real similar. Would it be good to practice with Gimp until I could get Illustrator? Are they that similar? What is the...

I have Flexi Pro 10.1 and I have a question. I have a Mimaki CJV print/cut machine. When the dealer came and set it up they did it with their own Flexi Pro10.5 and it had perf cut option for cutting a perforated outline around contour cut decals. I really liked that function but now I have to...

I am wanting a lower cost material for printed window decals such as race car numbers, soccer teams and similar. I did some on material that I had (Oracal 3651) and they were a pain to put on without them flopping and tunneling/stretching. I assume I need something thicker? What do you all use...

I see most of the sign/decal shops around here offer business cards. What machine would you use to do that? I couldn't see doing them on anything I already have. (plotter, CJV or dye sub printer). Is this worth getting into? Thanks

I bought my setup from Signwarehouse in 1999. It came with Vinyl Express Master 5.7 and upgraded to 6.5 which they told me was the top of the line Flexi Sign Pro product renamed. I want to upgrade to Flexisign Pro 10.5 or higher. I have a borrowed 10.1 version but it doesn't seem to have the...

I am looking for the thinnest/softest heat transfer material. I did some shirts for a musicans benefit and the shirts had his album cover on the front. At almost 12" square it felt pretty stiff. It has to be able to go on dark shirts. I have tried a couple recommended to me but I would like...

I mostly only do race cars but one of the sponsors wants 30 pieces of 5.5 inch diameter round decals. they have simple artwork already. How much should I charge for this? They said once they got them for a buck each but the last place wanted 3 bucks each. What would you charge? Thanks

I have a new Minaki CJV and I am wanting a laminator. I am currently using a Big Squeege with success on 4' long prints but ruining 11' long prints. My printer is only 40" so I only want a laminator similar sized because of limited room in my basement. I have searched on here and not finding...

I have a new CJV30-100 that I am trying to figure out how to use with FlexiPro 10 instead if Rasterlink. Has anyone else used this combo? I am having trouble with banding on wider prints. I am printing 27" wide race car sides and the banding looks like lighter thinner lines running full width. I...

A local guy with a home based shop only does vinyl cutting and is looking for some things printed from time to time. He contacted me and we met. All went well and he said he has been paying $5.50 per linear foot for 30" intermediate material from his previous printer who was out of town and...

I am having trouble with with my decals doing perf cut. The cut is all the way thru and bunches up the vinyl while feeding. That is using Design Central/contour and then the top option straight line. If I use any other option lines the dashed lines the cuts and spaces are way too big and I can't...

I purchased my Mimaki CJV30-100 new in August. I elected to go with the metallic set-up. Well, I wasn't using the metalics and was just wasting ink cleaning and slowing my process. The Mimaki service guy was in the area and came by and switched out my 8 color set-up for the 4 color set-up. Now I...

Where can I get multi-lens fill for an outline on a race car number? I have many rolls of multi-lens vinyl for my cutter but want to print the multi-lens looking outline on a local guys car. I know it won't have the effects of the real stuff but I want to try it. Thanks

I had a long time cutomer bring me a printed pdf pic of a race car proof?. I'm not sure thats what it's called but shows the car design from both sides and top. Very professional looking. Can someone tell me how to do this?

I have done cut vinyl for over 10 years but this new printer stumps me sometimes. I need help with a shape similar to the Nike swoosh. It is for a race car design and I need to do a gradient fill but need the fill to follow the shape, sort of like neon tubing. Can this be done in Flexi Pro 10? I...
