Hi Shannon, As you try printing larger things directly out of Corel, Illustrator or any other app you may find that your HP stops printing at about 6 feet. (I have forgotten exactly what the dimension is) The rip in Flexi overcomes that problem among other things. The developer of Flexi (Scanvec Amiable) has a number of profiles available there and many of the manufacturers have profiles for their media on their web sites. There are alot of them for the Designjet 5500. You may still need to do some tweaking of ink densities in Flexi. Ideally you will eventually get a color management sytem that will allow you to generate your own profiles, but these are quite pricey. A good place to get advice on Flexi and many other aspects of sign-making is www.signs101.com
