hey all

I am trying to set up my graphtec plotter to run with caldera, and currently I have everything set up as far as hot folders and connections, however I cannot send anything directly to the cutter using cut lines only. I thikn I am missing a step but im not sure what that step is since I m very new to caldera.

I know how to rip and print and then cut, but I cannot figure out how to rip something just for cut

I don't think it's possible with Caldera (I've tried in the past). Best to use a separate app or plugin for straight cut vinyl work.

Cutting Master 3 or 4 only, for direct cut

so the problem with cutting master 4 is there is not a plug in for corel 21 yet, and I cant find a suitable work around because currently I only have access to corel, cutting master 4, and caldera,

so I got it to run cut only files like in the link you posted, however we only have one license for a cutter on caldera, but we have 2 cutters, one cutter runs off of caldera and the other off of cut master 4, however with cut master 4 there i no plug in for mac and corel 21 yet

You don't need licenses for roll cutters. Just add 2nd cutter in the setup.

do you happen to have a video explaining exactly how to do this? because I tried to follow up what I thought was set up procedures for that and it was giving me a licensing error when trying to run the other plotter, I have my rip set up on one computer and my plotter running off of another computer. Caldera doesnt have a whole lot of videos out there about how to set things up initially, that I have found at least

I guess I could be wrong, thinking it's unlimited roll cutters.

What models do you have exactly?
