So, I have had to use Flexi to print my Black T-Shirt design onto xxxx paper (I will post paper supplier once we settle my small problem - as unhappy at the moment).

The reason for this is outlined in another of my posts (Which, I had taken off topic).

I have my design in Flexi, it was designed in Photoshop and I deleted the background before saving (Allowing you to cut a Contour Cut in flexi by opening the .PSD file, Groping an Ungrouping everything and applying the 'Contour') BUT now when I try to print from FlexiStarter I get this - and only this:

Is your paper size set correctly?

Is this RIP and Print? Is your Printer capable of using the Flexi RIP or are you printing using the print screen then cutting?

I have Flexistarter which doesn't support RIP & Print, I am just hitting the Print icon.

So I am printing the screen and then cutting.

The 'Paper Size' is a good question as this is another thing this mouse does, keeps changing the material size without me noticing. I have to keep going back and re-checking settings before doing anything serious.

There are some Print Options here 'Substrate' etc and I cant find an explanation for them.

...Also something odd is going on - it's taking over 5 mins for each print to get sent to the printer - and I notice this is taking over 10GB from available space on the HD (I gave myself 50gb thinking that was more than enough - i am resizing my disks, I am hoping this was my problem with printing as i was getting down to .kb's remaining which is obviously undesirable).
