Profile To Use For Vehicle Wrap

I have not had very much luck with profiles in Flexisign. I'm about to print a vehicle wrap in about 1 hour, and would like to know what profile to use in flexisign 8.1 to print this wrap. I use versaworks mainly, but know that Flexi is much faster, and dont want to be here all night waiting for the print...

Anyways, does anyone have a profile that I can use, or purchase? Or one that comes with flexi that you have had luck with???

Let me know please!

Thanks!

My profiles r gonna do nuttin for you

Call your Roland Supplier and pay their tech guy for a couple days to build you your profiles

Gonna cost ya

To do it right i mean

unless you dont care about color management and quality

Then just stick any old profile in there

One of my vendors said they will build the custom profiles for me if I buy media from there, but They cost too much. Maybe just buy a roll use it collect and say I will use them and have them give me the profile!

hahaha

My suggestion...

PAY for the tech learn how to configure & tweek your own
After a few years... you`lle be just fine

Anyone can get a loan & hit print

Very true, takes money to make money, and I highly believe in that. But if they offer the services, than might as well take advantage!

Gary...is that what your using on your mimaki? I have the JV3 54", and was wondering what you "Normally" print at? Never tried the LX diffusion? Do you have good luck with the bi-directional? Mine seems to have the light/dark effect.

Make Sure You Have The Latest Upgrade For Versaworks And Print With It. I Have Always Used Flexi Until Last Week When I Upgraded To Flexi 8.5. My Old Profiles Do Not Work With The Upgrade. I Was Forced To Use Versaworks Waiting On Building New Profiles. I Was Blown Away At The Increased Speed And Color The New Upgraded Versaworks Produces. Just Pick A High Performance Vinyl In Versaworks Rip And Print Away.....
Remember You Must Ungrade To The Newest Version To Obtain The Faster Speeds.

It's a versaworks upgrade, not a roland upgrade. Just came out less then a month ago (I think). we're using vp540 and upgraded.
