Ive had a snoop around and cant seem to find what im looking for, ive just purchased a MH721, and i use Flexisign 10, it has the cutter in the production manager but it doesn't seem to cut, its connected using the USB and i think i may need drivers to make this work, can anyone assist?
I believe the generic FTDI drivers you can find will work. The USB on the MH is iffy at best and you are better off using the serial port. If your computer does not have a serial port, the Tripp-lite Keystone adapter is known to work.
no it doesn't require it, it cuts fine with my graphtec machine, i only purchased this one to allow me to do larger formats, ive just tried the signmaster software that came with it and it worked fine, i just dont know that software and from i se does a lot less than flexisign
Only legal Flexisignpro 10 has a USB dongle. That is the USER ID and the password for the software. I showed you the USB dongle from my Flexidesigner 10. Which is Flexisignpro10 without the RIP. Legal Flexisignpro 10 comes on a disc and with paperwork that is the user ID and password like below. Any thing else would be pirated, counterfeit.
This is what happens with LEGAL Flexisignpro 10 when you don't have the USB dongle in your computer. That USB dongle is the password for the software. Flexisignpro 8.1 and 10 are 2 of the most pirated Flexisignpro programs.
well i dont know what to say, my Flexisign works fine, and like i said cuts great with my Graphtec machine, i purchased as a bundle a while back so i dont know why it doesn't have a key or if its been pirated, and that doesn't help me answer my question to why it wont cut on this MH721
ive sent an email to SAI asking for this advice as to why it doesn't cut, i tried a previous design just incise it was something i had dont and the head moved a little more then "write error" came up again
yeah i think I'm starting to see the issue, ive just googled KI-870A and it comes up with a VEVOR machine that looks exactly like this one, and looking at images of the MH721 on US Cutter website there's a subtle difference like sticker location and the LCD panel is blue where mines white... i may have been had over as i know VEVOR machines dont work with Flexisign (so ive read)
Yes, I see it is a Vevor brand.(after searching model number) People come here and claim it is a night mare machine. Just put Vevor in the upper right search box. (search everything) Plenty comes up.
YOUR GIVE ME HELP SITE IS A JOKE & MISLEADING. I SEE NO TIPS OR HELP ARTICLES ABOUT THE USE OF SOFTWARE ALL I SEE IS SOCIAL MEDIAHYPE &ADS TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING. YOU HAVE VERY GOOD SOFTWARE BUT YOU OFFER NO FREE HELP.
DAVID DELP/DELP SIGNS.
Having a bad day David? Actually I just started this blog, so you are right there is not much content, but like any sign you do, you have to start with an idea, then build on it. The final product will be good if you believe in it, work hard at it and I believe and will work hard to make this a great blog. Why not add some content, some of your knowledge, some expertise, some ideas, some solutions rather than this bad start. Blogs take on a life of their own after a while, but they have to start somewhere. Be a part of the build rather than the tear down.
These tools are sensitive to the NODE that were created, so for instance if a node is made from a curve, you cannot apply another curve, etc. To check the nodes, just select the line and the node will show up. If it is round the line is considered a curve if square it is considered a line.
Sometimes when you get a poor quality image you can resample it and turn up the dpi and it will help a little with the jaggedness.After vectorizing the image- weld it,then go back and separate weld.That usually works for me with the editing tools.Hope this helps!
This is a recurring issue with your version. It is a conflict of IP ports typically. If you want the fast way to fix it, you simply CLEAR PREFERENCES, then re-install your printer or cutter driver. Otherwise:
We probably need more information, but if something is working and then begins not to, that usually means a change happened somewhere. If FlexiSIGN did not change, then Adobe Illustrator did. Perhaps an update took place and changed something in the file format. Try saving in an older format or as an EPS file.
PLEASE be careful if you choose to do this! I would change the monitor resolution first and get those menus back. The method described is drastic and could take a while to restore to your desired settings, and that means a slowdown in production.
Help with print cut. I set up the artwork with my contour cuts and send it to my production manager. printer prints with registration marks. I set the printed sheet in the my cutter and use the PM to send cut to plotter I set the markings up to read marks and it does not scan or read. I need some detailed instructions. I had it really close but now I am not even coming close to getting the print cut to work. SOS you can email me
Cutting the Contour on a Cutter with Automatic Alignment
1.RIP and print the job.
2.Remove the output media from the printer and load it into the cutter.
3.Output the cut job in the Hold Queue as you would a normal print job.
4.Align the cutting head over the first automatic registration mark (lower right if not marked) using the controls on the front panel of the cutter.
5.Click OK to cut the contour.
I am using Flexi Cloud and I believe the Outline Tool is defective. For example, I enter some text and then select the Outline tool. I add an outline and make it blue, then I click on the little # box to add a #2 outline. Great so far, I have my black letters with a blue outline #1 and a wireframe of outline of #2 waiting to be assigned a color . But then, if I try to select a second color, say red for the #2 outline, #1 outline also changes to red. Why would they have this ability to add additional layers of outlines and then not have it set up to where you can select different colors for them? Is this a glitch in the software or am I doing something wrong?
flexi 8.1

in rip and print when i send contour cut the production manager says cutting but nothing happens any ideas
thanks darryl

I have no idea what went wrong but overnight it just stopped opening eps files which is killing my business for converting customers images or importing them. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck at all. Saved .ve files open and cut fine but I can no longer open eps or ai files and this just started friday. Sadly gcc has been no help even though I purchased the software from them with the expert 24 cutter. They said it is outdated. Seems very frustrating and wondering if anyone can offer steps to fix this. As mentioned before it has worked for the past 5 years with no problem. Just happened Thursday for no reason at all.
Well since its an old version, its not likely to be an update to Flexi. Could be that something got corrupted. This can happen when windows, firewall or other security programs sweep a computer and delete files that may be used by Flexi. So I suggest a CLEAN uninstall and reinstall. Download REVO UNINSTALLER. It works as pro for 30 days. Use it to uninstall Flexi, then scan for left overs as it suggest to you. Now reboot computer and reintall flexi.
I finally got a chance to play around with the cutter, readjusted the blade, ran all the cutting tests, etc. There does not appear to be anything wrong with the cutter. I decided to take a closer look at the text and used the 1:1 view in Flexi. I noticed that the cutter reproduced the exact same jagged edges of the text that I am looking at on the screen. Apparently this is just a very badly made true-type font but it matches the font the customer wants. (Impossibilium BRK) Is there a way for me to smooth out or repair the font, or at least smooth out the text used in the sign? Alternatively, do you know where I can find a well made match for that font?
Thanks
We are trying to print to a Valuejet 1204. We are using Flexisign 10 and Production Manager. The color we are trying to print is a tan or taupe color but it is coming out purple.
The color looks great in the Flexisign and Production manager software (and was Pantone matched in Illustrator), but it is a very dark brownish purple when coming out. Any suggestions on where to correct this?
Add the following to Flexi by going to the EDIT menu and COLOR SETTINGS. In the first tab, for MONITOR add genericLCD_Monitor.icc ( Download here: and unzip it to the desktop or somewhere) Now also change the INPUT TAB to this same profile. Try your tests and see if it improves.
my production manager was working yesterday and I had an issue with the internet this morning so I deleted this driver program that was installed with 2 other junk programs that were trying to run in the background. I am pretty sure this was messing me up because once I deleted them I was able to get back on the internet. Now I have an error cannot open port. Any suggestions?
I am using LXi 8.5 and am trying to download a new font into program. I have the font in my fonts folder as a true type font. However, it will not open thru the vinyl express program. What am I doing wrong?
