Driver for VP-300, FlexiSign 7.5 Mac

[bayviewsignworks]

I'd like to be able to print from FlexiSign 7.5 (Mac) to our new VP-300. I will be doing the whole Mac/Parrallels/Versaworks thing too but would like to maybe have it as a back up plan. Is this even possible?

Upgrading to 8.6 for Mac would be a more realistic option if you want to really get it to work properly. let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Yeah, sounds like 8.6 has all the bells and whistles. I have the CD that comes with the roland so I'm hoping there's a driver on there. We'll be using versa anyway. Should I get a router or would Sharing do for file transfers? I think we were thinking about using a flash drive to get files over to the VP also.

Install the versaworks desktop driver that will show a printer called versaworks. Then print from flexi (not rip and print) to that printer. You may have to set up custom paper sizes and the mess around with the panels but this will work. The only other way would be to save as an eps then send to versaworks. We used both methods before upgrading Flexi.


Flexi 8.6 has a send to versaworks button now and that works great!


Hope this helps

I never understood why it was such a huge deal for customers with the Versaworks RIP & Print button UNTIL i not only tried myself but then saw how happy customers were to try it out!

We're up and running. Apparently my ethernet port doesn't work so we're using wireless for the time being. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Doesn't show up on the router.
