Need Help Print &Cut in rasterlink6 malfunction from adobe illustrator

my print and cut combination not working in raster link the cut/color is linked together but the color(print) bracket is empty no graphic displayed and raster link can't or doesn't read so it doesn't print it prints fine when not attached to cut. Please help. I'm willing to pay for remote assistance.

 

i Do not have SignLab nor Versawork.. I am looking into Flexi Sign.. Is the above mentioned compatible w/ the mimaki set up./??\

 

YES AND THANKS i WILL RESEARCH SIGN LAB... HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT fLEXI SIGN... ANYTHING Hhas to be more user friendly than rasterlink and fine cut

 

wow this is overwhelming.. So now.... what is Illy I will look this up as well... i am looking into Flexi and Sign Lab...

 

Duh... you mean Illustrator... ? I have been doing it that way but when it links over to the actual rasterlink. the Picture/print icon is blank thus no reading of what needs printing which brings us back to my original dillema...

 

Thanks for all the replies.. Vander J , I definitely have the print set to print and am trying to figure out how to change the spot color and change to PDF .. yet the cutting at this time is not the issue.. I have attached a pic of what i am seeing.. Where it says color {connected to cut} is blank... i have never been able to transfer over and image to print w/ print and cut.. but it does transfer over w/ only Print...

 

in response to your last reply (and thank you) there are no files in the HOT folder.. I empty every time for clarity... I will look n2 your other replies immediately

 

here are screen shots from FineCUt. and and RasterLink... no matter what combination i use it continues to reflect to CU's I may be forced to go w/ flexi or Sign Lab.. lotta hours spent on this

THanks for taking time out to help
