  6. Ink splotchy on Oracal cast vinyl (only 1 color)

    I printed this on green cast Oracal 6150 with my Mutoh and it lays down perfectly. Then I printed it on this pink and it’s horrible. Not sure why. It’s both same profile, same fluorescent vinyl, same age of vinyl. running heat at 42 which is what I do for most of my prints. Green was perfect...

    what happens now is ill send a file to cut, it will scan all the reg marks, and start cutting panel 1, then it returns to the start point and just sits there (the summa display reads panel 1) is this a driver issue for the summa plotter? or is there a setting in flexicut to make it continue...
  12. FlexiSign & Print 12 Copy / Paste acting differently?

    Ok until recently I could copy / paste an object or text in FlexiSign and when I would go to paste it ctrl -V it would hold it for me and i could place it with my mouse then click for where i wanted it to land. now it just pastes it some where else randomly in my canvas so i have to go look for...

    I currently use a CE6000 and just do contour cutting of decals, then use a straight edge and knife to cut them into individual decals.
