I'm trying to use my illustrator account but the variable width profile is greyed out in any new document that I create and any document I work on which is affecting my ability to print. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Thank you.

When you select a stroke to apply a variable width to it, does that stroke have a calligraphy brush applied?
In which wa does that affect printing?

I'm trying to print on cardboard and it won't allow me to vector print without it.

I don't understand at all what you're doing there.
Please elaborate what exactly you're doing. It will also help to see your artwork and not just parts of your screen.

I am having the same problem. All I want the variable width profile to say is "Uniform" but it wont. I have a page here of some stars (the lighter ones) that will cut fine on the laser cutter and then bolder ones wont. The only difference that I can see when I click on the line is that the "Varible Width Profile" is greyed out

What happens if you increase your stroke size to 1 or 2 point thickness?

I had the same issue and fixed it using this solution:

You just need to make sure that the āAlign Strokeā setting is set correctly, as per the link. Fixed the issue instantly.

Thank you, this totally answered my question. My computer crashed and I had lost my regular settings in pretty much everything, and couldn't figure out why what I normally just do I wasn't able to do. Thanks again! Sj
