- If you have printing issues, it may not be the equipment. Check your printing profiles to see if the issue clears up. That's what happened here, I had to reload Flexi and one of my printing profiles looks terrible!! Luckily I did not overreact, the prints before this one was spot on, what changed? The profile for some reason does not like the "new" flexi production mananger I had to reinstall. Happy Sign Making Sign Folk!!
I bought my own cloud. I believe it is WD cloud 10 terabytes. This has been so helpful in my day to day operations. I highly recommend anyone in the industry to get one!
I'm ready for a NAS device. Large files running over the Cloud no matter who's it is i now longer working for me.
Yes, I have a 1TB NAS storage for just about all production files... The wife is cloud based but she is not processing big graphic files...
Crazy how that happens. Different programs will do the same. Yrs ago had a job printed from the same computer to the same digital printer but from 3 different programs and the customers orange were all slightly different. Customers don't understand its not just pushing the easy button.
I get that a lot "you just push a button" I happily invite them into the shop and print their own jobs if they think its that easy, not one has taken me up on that offer....
I've had some other random issues I never had with the "older" flexi but I just try to work through or around it. I see people so frustrated at flexi and never understood why but now I see a little taste of what they deal with.
Back in the day when life was simpler you bought stuff whether it be a phone, some computer software, some music on cd or vynil, some movies on dvd, it was 100% yours, it remained unchanged & worked the same way everytime. In today's world they sell you the idea that 'smart', digital & cloud based is better & most times the 'updates' breaks things that were working just fine. So called technological progress & evolution where you keep feeding these greedy corporations $. Good to see you back.
Could not have said it better my self, technology is great until it doesn't work anymore.... We are not the ones who control the "switch" and what is being updated and for no reason. Just a sign of the times.
@@TheSignGuy Yep. Sadly today we are reduced to being sheep-like consumers with little to no control after giving away our $. Updates & more updates to come. Haha. Ah well thats how it goes in a capitalist world.
I use arlons new profiles on their items but I change if the series is ever different like cast, cal, canvas and I definitely make changes based on gloss or matte seems to make a difference in the dot size and curing temperatures but always using 1 of around 18 total profiles that are backed up and the back ups are archived so I can revert in my RIP if needed the RasterLink RIP from mimaki comparable to ONYX RIP I used to have repetitive issues with flexi like that as well I have since moved to Adobe everything and see a huge difference in the softwares abilities to tell the RIP what to do in most cases and how the files being saved have a better quality based off of what program is exporting the PR data to be RIPed.
Never used Arlon media or their profiles. Have not heard any good or bad but never had the need to use it.
I use 3 different icc profiles from oracal for printing on substance media and my oracal and avery reflective. Oracal5600 profile puts down alot of ink and I like the color saturation.
Thanks for the info! I like the 3651 for my mid profile, the avery 1005 puts down a lot of ink as well. Black is SUPER deep.
