  1. Weird issue with VERSAWORK 6.11.0

    Hello all, I'll try and make a long story short. Please bear with me. We bought a new printer (VG2), and we already had an old printer (XR-640). When the Roland tech came to install the VG2, he had to update our Versawork to the latest version, 6.11. Now I'm working on profiling the new printer...
  2. Issue with either Roland VG2 or Versawork 6.11

    I've already tried option 2 right away. The values are good. I've talked with the IT guy (he doesn't want anyone else to play around with anything regarding his network and the PCs) and he'll try option 1, not much else to too. At least if we prove it's not the router fault, I can tell that to...
  3. Issue with either Roland VG2 or Versawork 6.11

    It shows nothing, just stays idle after hitting print. We don't do Rip while printing here, my boss just prints, so it rips then print automatically one after the other, but it stalls between, for a long time. For me, I pre-rip many files so I can send one after the other back to back, but when...
  4. Issue with either Roland VG2 or Versawork 6.11

    Hi all, I need some help, and I'm quite desperate... We decided to change our old SP-540 for a Roland VG2. Last Thursday a tech from Roland came to install the new printer and updated our Versawork to 6.11. We now have our 7 years old XR-640 and the brand new VG2-540 and we've been having...

  6. Need Help Engineering grade reflective vinyl electrical conductivity?

    That's good to know about the 680CR, but rather than testing it on my own, I'll tell my client to test it himself, so whatever the result, I won't be held accountable either way.
  7. Need Help Engineering grade reflective vinyl electrical conductivity?

    My client is a company that makes and provide equipment for underground rescue operations. They're setting up equipment down a mine and are required by the mining company to provide specifications regarding hazardous materials, including the electrical conductivity in their reflective material...
  8. Need Help Engineering grade reflective vinyl electrical conductivity?

    13 years in this business and for the first time a customer asks me to provide specification on my reflective vinyl regarding electrical conductivity. I'm using 3M 3290 with 3M 8508 laminate in this particular context. I've contacted 3M Canada in that regard but they were less than helpful. What...
  9. Video Game Background

    I don't know about that, one of my client, a video game retailer, got sued by Nintendo for using Luigi's hat in his logo. Since it was part of his logo, he had to redo his entire company image. And we're in a small northern Canadian mining town. That's a long reach for a Japanese based company.

    Hello everyone! https://imgur.com/BzxX3Ea I need to reproduce that sign and that text was hand painted, my only choice other than tracing the text manually, is to find a good similar font and convince my client that it's good enough. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
  13. CutContour Spot Colour in FlexiSign

    Hello! Are you using the contour cut color as a fill? I has to be a stroke. I just tested it with Versawork using the basic Flexi color swatch and it works fine. Tell me if that helps.
  14. Printing Greys with Flexi Rip

    Have you checked your prints under different lighting? Our grays here come out pinkish but only under the yellow fluorescent above the printer. But out in the sun or under a white fluo or LED, the grays are perfect. For the color type I've tested with PMS, CMYK, RGB, and RGB's usually have the...

    In Flexi you can apply contour cut in several ways, but also, some colors are interpreted as a contour cut when used as a stroke. Select different elements of the file where you see contour cuts and check the stroke color in the Fill,Stroke Editor window to see if that's the case. If it is, you...
  16. how to i fit text into an irregular object?

    Hello! Do you want the text to fill the space, starting large and narrowing down along with the shape, or do you just want the text to follow the bottom line? For the latter, it's easy to do with Flexi, (see attached JPG). Don't forget to play with the options in the design central. For the...
  17. Anyone know where I can buy these?

    I've done this a few times on outdoor signs using tracks. You can stick them on the sign or fix them with screws, and it's convenient because you can put the top and bottom part separately at whatever distance you need them to be. You can easily find clear tracks too, so they don't stand out too...

    That happened to me too last year, we found this in a sign we had to repair.
  19. Need Help I suck at Photoshop...please help me

    You sound like someone who charges is mother 140$/hour to remove red eyes from family photos. Believe it or not, but, It's ok for someone to 'not know everything' and it's also ok to ask for help, and it is also ok to help other people for free sometimes. Too bad if you're a selfish person, but...
