I need to print labels that are 1.80" x .160". I can't get the measurment to go under .38. Can this be done? thanks

What RIP are you using?

Are you sure you have the right measurement ??

You have Sixteen Hundredth of an inch. That's less than a piece of construction paper.


Well, maybe not..... but a piece of cardboard anyway..........

.16" is just over an eighth of an inch

Yes, the measurement of this is just over an 1/8 of an inch. Can i even print this small cause i can't seem to change the measurement in my versaworks program.

Small text with VCamm...

The VCamms can print incredibly small text. If you have ever done a calibration test you will see what I mean. I dont use Versaworks..the Colorip 2.2 on my SP300( not V).
When you get to the RIP is there a function to "SIZE" the output? ( %)
I'm wondering how you are exporting this and from which program?
This is the type of info that should be included in a post about a specific machine/application when you start a thread. What media are you printing to?
I just did a quickie here..didnt wait for the heater..printed to Oracal 3651.
Photo taken at 640 x 480. Saved as a tiff file in Corel. Then down-sized to make it postable here. So what you see here is not as sharp as it really is.
The dimensions as defined by the ruler..the text is actually smaller than .15" . I didnt play with the settings at all, this is just on 720 x 720 res. Going to 1400 res would help, I'm sure. As well as taking the photo in a higher res.
Anyway, I'm seeing this as doable.
Cheers!

guessing versa works has a min size for the eps file, not what it contains.
put a .4inch border around it, and i would expect it to print anything inside it.
in that case nest 2 graphics together to save vinyl.
