1. You can enable "Optimize Cuto Order" from the cut and plot.
2. You can use two colors, one for the inner and one for the outer and with "Send all colors" enabled you can adjust the cutting order in the "Driver options" window by clicking the curved up/down arrows adjacent to each color. You...
Since the "Solved" solution was not explicit with instructions I will list the operations that I did to resolve this problem.
• Created a backup by renaming the C:/ProgramData/Roland DG VersaWorks folder to C:/ProgramData/Roland DG VersaWorks.old (Note: you may have to enable hidden folder view...
Spot color mapping is my suggestion. You can bypass the ICC ink limits by creating your own spot color in the rip and then create a spot color in your design software identically named.
As for grays, I get perfect grays with my latex by using Corel color pallets. I use flexi, not corel, but I...
This is true if I were arguing for the sake of the computer graphics industry but I am not. I have been very specific with my categorization of users, both in my original topic theme, and the subsequent conversation about the "Creative" industry. Specifically I am addressing "Vector Art...
I haven't been on here long enough to see many Illustrator threads, but for sure, this one has been like honey for a few Corel vs the world crew. It's sad to me, just like in politics and world views that so many people are willing to dismiss and impede any discussions of ideas or topics which...
I do not disagree with your perspective and that's why I added the caveat like I did. My statement of opinion goes like this; If the industry you have chosen to work in - say "Creative" for example - requires a procedurally specific tool (Ilustrator/photoshop/premier) which must be compatible...
I suppose it was foolishly worded of me to say "THE industry standard" when clearly there are many other applications falling within this "Vector Graphics Application" category, many of which may be used more prolifically in large scale businesses and governments. Even a barcode design software...
Gino,
I think you are giving me way too much credit. I didn't event the limitless canvas phenomenon but I did see enough validity to suggest that it's a good idea. I think Adobe wholeheartedly agrees with you by way of the current product. I will continue to scale like everyone else and it's not...
At least I categorized this thread correctly under Rant. I think it's served the verb well.
I posted this thread not to impose an anti-scaling ideology on everyone. Like I said before, to each their own.
Yikes. Illustrator will always be an integral part of my business, it's unavoidable. I "work around" it in scale daily. I dislike it. Is it hard? No. Do I like it? No. Do I want change? Yes. Do other's want change? Yes (evidence shown with my initial hyperlink to the Adobe "How Can We Improve...
I am not saying scale isn't easy, but 100% is easier. I prefer easier. I use Flexi with the built in Rip and Print so my workflow is as simple as designing full scale, selecting object to print, and send to rip without any need to upscale. What I see is what I get.
I'm not dissing anyone's...
Gino, you must be an analytically organized person and what you say is true, but working in scale opens the opportunity for error. Error cost time and money and for me, I like concrete numbers to confirm my intent while designing.
Flexi and Corel offer no such limitations and so when I am...
I am actually a hardcore Flexi power user, but Illustrator is still a very necessary tool to be proficient in considering the marketing and advertising needs for clients of a sign business.
I have used Corel several times but it carries some of the excessive menu features that I dislike about...
I have made it my mission to pester Adobe until they fix the Canvas size limit within Illustrator. It may have been a useful limit back in 1989, but it's completely and utterly irritating now.
Please go to the Adobe: Illustrator Features Request page and vote up the Canvas size limit thread.
First, make sure you have a contour cut in your art. You should be able to select just the contour path and go to Arrange, Contour Cut and see "Release Contour Cut" dark black text. If "Make Contour Cut" is dark black text then select this option.
Second, while in the Rip and Print make sure...
You need to enable Spot Color Mapping in the Rip and Print, Output Setting tab. From there you will select your document color and then map it to the output color of your choice. For genuine Gerber foils you will read the label name on the cartridge and select the same name in the drop down menu...
The biggest question I have is what version of Caldera do you have? It appears as though this may be a limiting factor for you in regards to performance and the hardware OS you run. Only Caldera V11.2 180309 supports the High Sierra. Check here for a full list of versions to OS compatibility...
This worked for me a couple of years ago. I remember enter the service menu was a bit of a pain when HP tech walked me through, but then a year later I used the manual and as I remember it was pretty straight forward.
Amen to unattended printing with this printer. For whatever reason unattended prints almost always result in some sort of calamity, but when it's being watched... totally obedient.
It's some spooky behavior and in order to combat losing jobs running unattended I have installed a web camera to...
