Don't want heat on for regular cut vinyl

[Signguy100]

Hey folks,

I am running a Roland SP 300i machine and don't want the heater to come on when just cutting vinyl. Is it possible to send the files without needing to heat the machine prior to cutting ? I was using a Gold polyester film from Oracal and the heat kept welding it back together after it was cut.

Thanks

You can manualy turn the heat off from the front panel

so a 'cut only' file still uses heat? wierd/lame

Thanks for the help

I looked at the front panel and in the heat conf screen, you can toggle up or down the temp but is there a "heat on or heaters off" selection. No big deal to toggle it down, just wondered.

Thanks again

In Versaworks, under Printer Controls/Heater Controls/Use Custom Settings you can uncheck your heaters (pre/print/dryer). This will override the printer settings for that job.

On the front pane, I think toggling is the only way.
In my Wasatch RIP you can turn the heat off as well.

You can set the heat settings on the printer panel or from VersaWorks.
Turn off heat on the printer panel and check your setting in V/W and make sure its turned off.

No idea why Versaworks doesn't turn the heat off automatically when you select the "Cut Only" setting. You have to switch your heat settings to Custom and then uncheck all three to OFF.
