Was trying to run a hat last nite...first one was crooked (our fault) and I also didn't like what the lettering did- .18 high but so thin it was terrible. Went in and increased lettering, added centerline underlayment, and pull comp to 110. Second hat, missed a color change but getting better! (had combined some detail to get less color changes and forgot to delete that excess color change) Beefed up the lettering some more, and went to 3rd hat...(this design is fire dept. Maltese Cross) after the 'main' outline of the 'maltese' was done-it went to color #2 for the 'fire hydrant' and then came to a dead stop before it started the 2nd color. Error message came up- 'color step index' error or something like that? Tried the red button stop and restart, still get the error, couldn't get it to 'move' to another color to get around that one. Shut off the Amaya, restarted, finally got it to go to color 2 and started it up-and now the hat was an inch off. Gave up, shut it down. Any ideas on what that error message refers to or what caused it? Only have to do ONE hat for a sample... Roland
