That is strange, I'm sure you've tried closing and restarting the program. If not actually restarting the whole program. Other than that, you may have to reinstall completely.

If you could print from Production Manager to your desktop, you could let the RIP add the marks.

You have the Print and cut version, with the security dongle I assume?

First off, I'll echo JBurns' question- do you have the Print & Cut version? It is the only version that will accomplish what you're attempting. The video you post is for the "starter" version, so if that's what you're running- you can't.
Second, if you have the Print & Cut version, are you trying to print an image file? You would still have to create a cut path around it- Flexi will not (at least as of last year) automatically generate that path.

you also need to send the job through the rip, not the windows printer driver.

On his screenshot it shows to be SignPro which is the print and cut. He also shows to have a cutline on there. If he didn't, the Cut Marks option would be greyed out.

I have FlexiSign Pro 10 Installed that prints and cuts on my CJV30-160, when I add a contour on an object and go to Rip/Print on the print preview they appear and my mimaki will print them and then cut....but just trying to apply them to print on my Graphtec its a different story

I tried to add my
Epson WorkForce WF-7620
in the production manager and it won't let me so I can't rip it?

Yes you have to have an object in the file that is a ContourCut outline before any contour marks will be applied. Be sure you have done that.

A few things I'd try:

-Of course restarting everything.
-If you have been using the same file, copy the art and try it in another file.
-Try it on different artwork that you've had success with before.
-See if there are any available updates.
-Remove and reinstall Flexi.

You could call SAI they may have an idea.

I don't doubt you know how to do a contour cut line and marks, but as a reminder you simply select the artwork, add contour cut line, select the type of cut line, click the green check mark, keep the same art selected and go to Contour Cut Marks, select your marks and click the green check mark.
