Finally got around to getting this thing cutting last week, been having to fight the wife over the laptop usage so I just went out and bought a used old tower for cheap and it seems to be working well. I can say I'm truly amazed by the graphtec and was cutting within about 30 minutes of messing with the setting. Still learning but I've cut out a few plain text decals and they turned out great.

Pro studio IS flexi.If you are finding it hard in the next week or 2, ya, probably a great deal.

I would also say that only the blue line is selected Using your photos, click the icon by the red arrow and it will fill the screen with your design By clicking and holding the the icon by the green arrow the fly out menu will show shapes (circle rectangle star) but on the end will be the registration marks. You can design with the flag horizontal but rotate it in the production manager by clicking the icon of the human figure under the blue arrow.

Yes, comm connections are the recommended connection for the mid to low level cutters. The Tripp-Lite Keyspan adapter is what every one here recommends as it is known to work.

Inkscpae still uses it requires ps2pdf from Ghostscript, to open ps or eps. This converts it to PDF, then poppler converts the pdf to svg. You won't see this if p2spdf is missing, (included in Ghostscript.) I think you are right in that it is not needed writing ps or eps files. Saving eps uses some cario component. It is probably not the culprit here, but some strange loop of saving and opening again in Inkscape could cause grief if ghostscript were missing. Still can't say much with out SEEING the files.

I had good success with the jpss and 3g - on the solvent printer with colorprint pu worked great - just make sure you have enough work to print with it every other day and don't go on 3 week vacations - same thing with the heads clogging (not as bad as the DTG unless you get the white or silver option as they cause problems in both). if you have enough business to justify running the solvent printer every other day for as long as you own it I say go for that one. most people want a solvent printer because they perceive them as easy and cheap to run - do your research , visit trade shows and visit people in your area that own them - a printer sounds sexy until you start dumping money into it for lack of regular use. it is not like your home printer

I have been using Main Tape, medium tack for many years, now. I never have complaints. I ship everything. MAIN Tape Is now owned by NEKOOSA. I purchase my Main Tape from a distributor out of Michigan.

The Graphtec is a CUT above...

Fair enough, Sorry I did not give you an answer. I do have a copy of VM to try and learn however it's not here at my normal computer because I run a mac without a windows interface so I keep it on a computer at my day job. When I get time enough to spare I do some designs to gradually understand the program and hopefully help out. Not able to tell you off the cuff what steps to take to get to the color choice options. BUT I can tell you that I did quick search online and found these links. The first one is a link to a whole host of training videos. Then I just read down through them until I found the second one that seems to be what you are looking for at the moment. https://www.youtube.com/user/futurecorporation/videos Hope this helps. I don't know what you did for hours but I spent just a few minutes and was able to find these resources. Didn't mean to offend you but we get SOOO many people who post a question without searching at all and when you spend a few years on here trying to help out it gets frustrating when people won't take the effort to help themselves. We are all end users who have jobs and are trying to build our own files and offer our help to the new folks where and when we can. VM is a fairly new addition to the line-up so there are far less of us schooled on the in's and out's. I'm an Adobe Illustrator guy who can answer probably about any thing you come up with related to cutter designs in AI but I'm lacking in VM. Good day to you.
