PLEASE Help!

[stickygraphics12]

So I just got my sp540 today, which is awesome! My tech from Beacon was great and helped educate me on a lot of things.

The only thing he didn't know how to do was make the contour color line to cut in Versaworks after printing?????

I have 160 decals I need to finish by tomorrow so I would appreciate any help! Thank you!

If your using Flexi (I assume you are since this is the Flexi forum) then use the Contour Cut tool. Under the effects menu.

 

[Replicator]

Create a hairline for the cut line and name in CutContour save file as an EPS for VersaWorks to recognize it as a cut line.

 

[stickygraphics12]

What do you mean by a hairline Replicator?

And where is the cutcontour save file at?

 

[Replicator]

Create a new color in your color pallet and name it CutContour (any color doesn't matter).

I use Corel, but I think in Flexi you can create an outline using the Contour Cut tool. Under the effects menu, as Jamie stated above.

 

[stickygraphics12]

Under the effects menu I understand the contour cut, but when I import it into versaworks it doesn't recognize the contour cut line? Am I doing something wrong?

 

[cgsigns_jamie]

Do you have "cut all paths" selected in versaworks?

 

[stickygraphics12]

Not sure! I should probably check that!

So I should be able to just use the regular contour cut from flexi

 

[cgsigns_jamie]

If "Cut All Paths" is selected and you are using an EPS file then yes VW will recognize the Contour Cut.

If you have a newer version of Flexi you can configure it so there is a button that allows you to select an object an transfer it right to VW without having to export an EPS file.

Try starting at page 49 of the versa works guide book.

I still have flexi 7.6

 

[cgsigns_jamie]

What shape is the contour? Is it a square by chance?

 

[stickygraphics12]

It was actually a rectangle but I would like to thank you both! I got it figured out bc of you guys!

Did he make it home for dinner...

Does 7.6 have the driver for that printer? 7.6 V2 does

 

[stickygraphics12]

I don't think he made it home for dinner! He still had another stop near philly on the way home! He was awesome though! Overall it was a good day and it's now 2:00 in the morning, I'm finally home, and the investment is already makin me money! I hope it keeps up!

 

[stickygraphics12]

I have 7.6v2 and it does have the driver for it.
