The Cut only driver not meant for a Print-then-Cut workflow. When you print your job a entry in your print queue should appear in the print queue you have selected as 'Cutting Unit' in the Print -> Setup window. You should select this newly added entry in the print queue and queue up a copy...

I have read this book a couple of times. Very good at explaining the science of color. Might be a bit thin on practical tips for digital printers, but I think I'd you want to understand color management it is a must read. Bryan-

I will agree with Tilo. Contact the dealer you get your media from, ask them if they are aware of profile that will be a better match or if they are willing to build you a custom profile. To take the hard route mentioned by Tilo you will need a spectrophotometer and profiling software (Monaco...

I lost my girlfriend to suicide three years ago this week. My thoughts go out to all those affected by suicide. Be good to yourselves and all those that you love. I hope no one has to suffer the same. Bryan

Inkscape might be an option. Free vector based program. Not sure if it will handle named spot colors, but most certainly affordable. Bryan

Hi Angela- You can use Wasatch in the manner you describe below. In Softrip select the unit you have configured as your cutter and open the file which contains the cutpaths you want to cut. In the display you can ignore any color data you see and just click the Rip and Print button. This...

Maybe COM or LPT port. My CG-FX had a port other than USB, can't remember if it was COM, but that sounds right. If you must use USB than fall back to an OS that Mimaki does support. Take a look at the mimaki.co.jp site NOT the Mimakiusa.com - some reason the download sites differ. I have had...

Colorip was based on Softrip 5.x not 4. Here is a link to our guide to profiling with Softrip. Some of the steps will be related to newer controls that are not available with Colorip but it should be a good reference for building profiles. If you have questions let me know, I have walked many...

I think you have mentioned it in the past but I would try a priny server to get away from the firewire issue. SHE makes a good one and TCP/IP has been around long enough that you shouldn't have any connections issues. I ran a jv3 using one for years and was very happy. They run about $200 or...

WB- Send me a PM with your serial number. I will be in the office in 45mins or so and can call you then. Bryan

Bill- Now I understand what you are doing. In Softrip there is no way to add the white space you are asking for. You would need to pad your file with white space in your design app to achieve the output you are looking for. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help...

WB- Are you using our automatic Crop Marks on the 'Unit Options' tab? This should produce crop marks on all four corners of each file you print. You can also select Full Length crop marks which will draw a box around the entire file you are printing. Bryan

WB- If you are printing .eps files there is an easy way to add a border under File->Preferences on the tab 'Set EPS Border'. If you are printing other file types you can use the Layout tab to position files as needed. The Layout tab can also be used in conjunction with our Template option...

Thank you all for the replies. I think I am happy enough to let this go now. Cheers, Bryan

I am not the end user in question here. A customer call me for support and stated he must print all spots at angle 25. He would not accept 22.5. This confused me. He is printing at 55 LPI using PostScript Screens as the halftoning method. Not sure how using the same angle would prevent...

No one, eh? I get the feeling the 'Simulated process' is some marketing departments good idea and that is the end of it. The theory makes sense to me, I just can't imagine why all the screens would be produced at the same angle. Trying to read through Scott Fresener's write up is driving...

Question for anyone using/experienced with 'Simulated process' for screen printing. I have been told using simulated process you must set all spots to the same angle. This sounds to me like a bad idea, although my understanding of simulated process is a bit hazy. I think I understand what the...

Also, playing as JFK or Fidel. Rather humorous. A bit hard playing solo, but addictive, yes. Bryan

Brian- I just left you a voicemail to follow up with me. Give me a call to continue troubleshooting. Bryan

Biker Scout- Sounds like the control file that monitors what is in your queues and which jobs have copies pending got corrupted. When you start Colorip uncheck the 'queue processing active' control then go to your queues and delete any job that has a copy greater than 0. After you have the...
