  1. Nesting software suggestions?

    eCut is something of what I've been looking for. Just having trouble with the demo in illustrator.
  2. Epson S40600 Questions

    As far as I know there is no white ink for the S40600. maybe the European market has a different version. There is no built-in cutting. There is a slot just in front of the platen where you can run a knife across to cut your sheets. Maintenance is a breeze with it and it tells you when you need...
  3. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    That sounds exactly what I'm trying to do. If you don't mind sharing in a bit more detail how you set these up in Rasterlink I'd be very appreciative. I think I'm missing something when it comes to this. Probably something simple that eluding me or something I don't know of yet.
  4. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I think what the idea is that it sets a new origin point. It took me a few tries to figure out the offset for the clear layer after but it worked ok. I still like pullback printing as it's been dead on the few times I've tried it.
  5. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    What's the highest raised print you've made? I guess seeing how this works more. To do something really raised. It would have to be 2 passes and then overprinting with the clear to build it up. So I'd have to print my build, white and 4 Color layers first. Do mark detection and then run the...
  6. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    No. I'm hoping they make take a suggestions from users and implement it into a firmware update to make it an option.
  7. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Cutting with the holographic was dead on, had no issues with reading the red filled mark boxes. That would be a good option to use either white or the red fill on those. That's a good suggestion for them.
  8. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I'm going to try to run some stuff from Cut Master to my FC9000 but it's not ideal. Can't wait for Onyx to update and support the 330 so I can move it all over to that workflow that I use for my S40600. I say the cutting is different because vinyl and lam are all one thickness and the blade...
  9. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Yeah, they are going nuts over raised stuff right now. lol These were 5 layers with gloss on the pullback. I can easily do 5 layers in 1 pass which is very subtle with the raised. I have yet to try the 2.5D prints on this yet. Do you do much perforation on labels with raised prints? Something I...
  10. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Yes and I did them with pullback printing as well on my UCJV330. A lot of messing around and learning how to do this and finally got some good results. Just need to be able to easily repeat it if I need to do it again.
  11. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I don't have the volume or room for a flatbed. I don't see myself doing a lot of this type of print when people find out it's going to be more expensive than just a regular print without having this raised up a bunch. Also this was holographic material which I needed the white for. Maybe I...
  12. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    No, there is no way to do Clear and White at the same time without pull back. I know I can't do both clear and white at the same time. Tech told me to print my 5 layer files with the color build with marks. Go back and scan the mark and then reset my media with in the scan direction. Then setup...
  13. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I tried something similar but when I have my layers composited, they all get the overprint passes. I tried putting 3 layers of clear over my 4 colors and it is barely raised up at all. So I'm not even sure whats happening. I just think I'm missing something major in printing on this that I'm...
  14. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Mine seemed to register fine but I had to put tension on the leading edge to keep it down. I was printing on holographic so I need to put white under some spots to block out the holographic material. I'm still learning, I've only had about 6-7 full days of use with the machine so far. This...
  15. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Rollers were in the correct spots. It was the first thing I checked. I tried it again and watched it. It printed white+4C layers, pulled back, lifted rollers and started printing. it's when it advanced the media it lifted up slightly. Unless I put a little tension on the leading edge of the...
  16. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Been trying to experiment with layered printing and I wanted to try a print with white and clear. However it cannot print white and clear in the same pass so it has to retract the print (after printing white & 4 color) and then do the clear. What's happening is the original print is fine then...
  17. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    After seeing the video I don't think there is any question he should be let go. That is not acceptable in any way for an employee to do that. Even if he was honest about it, just the fact he didn't own up to it just makes it even more solid of a case.
  18. Print and cut layouts (Mimaki printer to Graphtec cutter)

    Yeah I totally understand this. I think I don't like this way because of how Graphtec reads the files. Generally I'll setup my file, say a 2" circle sticker. I save an AI file with the art and cut layers and then place that into a stepped out sheets (says sheets of 25up) then I'll repeat those...
  19. Print and cut layouts (Mimaki printer to Graphtec cutter)

    I have not tried that function. I want to be able to print a layout on my UCJV and then cut on my graphtec, but in order to do that I need to use cut master and apply Graphtec reg marks. I wasn't clear enough in my OP.
  20. Print and cut layouts (Mimaki printer to Graphtec cutter)

    Now I've got my UCJV running and have started to use it. I forgot how incredibly slow print and cut machines are with cutting. (I printed small labels with a perforation line, print area was approx 48" x 23") Took 15mins to print and 25mins to cut. Not very ideal for production in the cutting...
