Hello friends!
We recently purchased a Zund to help our workflow, along with adding new cut contour signs etc to our offerings and also started working with Onyx, rather than Rasterlink for our Mimaki printers (just upgraded the CJV300 to Epson S80600).
I've had Onyx for a few years but was never able to spend the time to actually learn and start using it rather than RasterLink, but with the new Zund + Epson, we need to move over to start making our lives easier.
For the past couple months that we've had the Zund we have been manually building our print files in Illustrator with cut paths and registration dots, printing, and cutting just fine.
I was under the impression that once I switched to Onyx, it would be able to quickly bring in multiple files and generate a cut border + cutter registration marks for the Zund to read within ZCC. I know it can't easily trace cut paths, that's not what I'm looking for. I thought we could say bring in 3 different sized posters from customer PDF or our own, and just arrange/impose them within Onyx on a single gang run print sheet and be able to tell it to cut them to their individual sizes w/ reg marks for the Zund.
I've found in the Onyx Job Editor we can make the "Tile Outline Cut Paths", which is great, but I don't see in Editor how to add the Zund cut registration marks. I can do those with the Layout Tool and then send over a file with barcodes/dots, but then I can't put the cut paths on.
What am I missing?
