Using VersaWorks with GS-24, X-3 and XP

[Escritar]

I'd like to use VersaWorks with a GX-24, CorelDraw X-3 and Windows XP, is there any hope?

If there is hope, on the Roland download site, which files should be downloaded?

You can either cut straight from Corel (or Ai) to the GX-24, I do it all the time, or use the plugin.

If you are doing print and cut work, you'll need to use the plugin to set up reg marks. I would then use Corel for the print part and then send your cut lines to CutStudio to cut.

Thanks for your response.

I currently use CutStudio, however, my reason for inquiring about using VersaWorks with GX-24/X3/XP was to determine if I could "cut an image" from vinyl, then increase the knife force and use the "contour cut" function in VersaWorks to "perforate" the backing paper. this would eliminate having to manually cut aroundthe perimeter of the vinyl image when I "layer" one vinyl color upon another vinyl color used as a background.

Since VersaWorks apparently will not work with the GX-24/X3/XP combination, does anyone have any ideas how I could use the GX-24/X3/XP to accomplish the task?

You can only use VersaWorks for print/cut with the GX cutters. You can't send cut only files because VersaWorks turns on the optic eye to look for crop marks.

But you can print from VersaWorks with a Roland inkjet and contour cut that printed file from VersaWorks with a GX.

For cut only files, CutStudio is the way to go.
