ok pro,, I don't have Pro, But I will try and help, the versions are all different on some layout, BUT open your main layout cut screen. just enter a couple text on it, just so you can HIT CUT/PLOT and it opens like your going to cut something. IN UPPER left corner should be your cutter name.. under it is PROPERTIES, click it, screen changes, it is either at the top or bottom, there are pictures on tabs, run your cursor over and see if one says WORKFLOW, click it, screen changes, then the info I described is there. the versions are different, this is Flexistarter 8.6, but I hope you have some same things close .

First of all you need to state what cutting Software you are using and what version.? Is it really Flexi Pro? Or Flexistarter? there is a big difference actually about $4000 difference. depending on where you purchase. and it would greatly help in the future if you post your equipment in your signiture, So we do not have to keep asking. LIke mine look in my signiture Graphtetec FC7000mk2-75 Flexistarter, 8.5 Toshiba XP etc.
-
you do not state what cutting software you are using... it is in your cutting software, If using Signblazer, it will be under the cutter setup.
-
are you sure your Flexi pro doesn't have saved jobs . Check there.. also in your production manager, make sure all jobs are empty there. Delete anything that is there.
If you go into your default job properties on Workflow, do you have under AFTER Output.. Delete or HOLD, I have mine on DELETE
-
well, glad you got it..
your welcome , now that you got that cutter cooking with fire. you will love it, I have a larger 30" and love it. -
If you can't get anyone to volunteer, contact member drakesis,, other members say great job and reasonable to vector.

Cut manager is on your Graphtec disc, you have to download it, to your desktop, You click it first when you want to cut something. That is your cutting software. They may call it something different now. I have Cutting master on my Graphtec . Here is Cutting Master , user manual, being showed with Robo machine.

Over pricing is NOT killing the industry, Yes printers can do it cheaper but most customers don't know the difference so why tell them "oh i can full color print this for cheaper"?
I commend those who have a nice strong pricing, I get plenty of customers and to be honest price is not everything. I have plenty of customers who use me because i am reliable, have a great turnaround and they like my work.
I say keep a nice strong price on your work and when the printers who are low balling everyone go out of business, look and laugh and carry on. Do NOT let low ballers determine you lowering your prices, that's the worst thing you can do. It's then a race to the bottom.
I seem to recall one of your posts awhile back,complaining about how slow your business was.
I've seen 2 'high ballers' in my town alone go out of business in the last 2 years. That says it all.
I remember this post myself,,, guy complains on underpricing by other forum members, Ruining the industry, also charges priority shipping for small decals. but yet. comes on here( with his sign standing by the side of the road "WORK NEEDED" to have other forum members to throw him a bone to survive, SO TO SPEAK.). Two months is along time to only make $20.00 sales. Where are your great returning customers? and word of mouth customers. Plus right before Christmas, I was busy as crap, making and selling decals/vehicle graphics for Christmas gifts. I can actually say I am fair priced and make a great living only selling vehicle graphics. The economy did not effect me that much.. I am never sitting on my butt, doing nothing. I do make a great living from my products. And it is strictly vehicle graphics. This isn't a food industry, but look at at all the ads on tv for pizza, If you can't find a pizza for $10.00, You live in a cave. It is better to make SOME profit, than nothing.. If these companies didn't lower their prices for the conditions, they would fold. Nobody is saying give it away. By all the jobs you are losing, you are jacking your prices up to try and make up for the jobs you lost. and losing those jobs too. . my2c

sounds like a blade offset problem.. try changing it in .05 increments go plus if it goes worse, go minus. Every machine has to be fine turned,
-
have you contacted Bridge about your problem? Here is their info and they also have a forum..

My Graphtec came today! I cannot belive how awesome it is!!!!!!!!!!!!
You go girl. I know you will be sooooooooooo happy with your new machine congrats.
-
sounds like you have multiple layers of the design going on, or it would not be several colors of black, go over it with the node editing and see if you can get rid of the xtra.

have you just tried to drag and drop it onto your workspace.? I just did that and it worked,

sorry, no idea, I don't have a Us Cutter product.. BUT there are some instructions on this thread left by Levi Hartzog
-
yes, there is a whole thread for inkscape, and at the top of the thread in darker blue is instructions and videos.

this looks like it The laser point is a Creation P-Cut with a laser.
-
refurb prices are listed on their website, for specified products. Gotta just keep checking, as they don't last long. here is current page
-
You have a weld option on Flexistarter, you can weld them there. after opening the cut/plot screen on the advanced tab in Flexistarter 8.6 it is the blade picture with the + sign at top of screen.

you could experiment with the Roland Pnc1000 driver. It is just a standard driver. Nothing to lose, Signblazer is free

I have never heard anywhere that someone actually stated who was making the Greenstar, actually they won't say, BUT if you notice the color codes are the same for Greenstar and Oracal 651 color codes. Greenstar just has a GS in front of the number code. don't know if it means anything or not. Just thought I would throw it in. my 2c
example if you want Oracal 063 Lime Green you can get Greenstar GS063 Lime tree green Oracal Silver 090 Greenstar GS090 Silver
and the same with the rest of the colors
