New (to me) Roland PC-12

[Scott Sturek]

I picked up this PC-12 at a great price (300) and it works great but I can't get it to cut with Coreldraw x3. What the heck am I doing wrong?

Did you go to the Roland site and download the drivers?

with that boat anchor I mean plotter/printer, you need to assign a color in your palette that you use as your contour cut color. it is a very common step that people over looked with this machine.

Dswanson, I have already tried assigning a color to cut with it didn't work. Tried lines also, no luck. Will it just not do it since I am using USB?

You need to have a VECTOR line for the cutter to cut.............

Your probley trying to print a bitmap image and for it to contour cut it out you have to place a vector outline around the image.................

Thanks for the imput Dustin, I have been doing vector lines still with no luck.

Set your CutContour color in the spot color palette. Export the file with the hairline CutContour as an EPS setting bitmaps to RGB color.
