Thanks, yes, we auto-created the crop marks/reg marks in Finecut, just like that, too, before exporting to PDF and printing on teh L260. The plotter itself cannot seem to find the marks though, when it is told to look for them. The head moves as if it is all happening correctly, but then the...

Thanks for both replies. The black marks are nicely black, to me - as good as 100%K as I'd like, and are about 10mm long x 2mm wide. I can try and go over them with a felt pen, but I'm not sure it'll make any difference. Using the console on the plotter to search for crop marks (via the...

I found a service manual & parts manual on Ebay. We'll see what it divulges... after I get the download link. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the normal ones like four letter L that stick out past the boundaries. I've forgotten the type number, (1 I think) but it is correct for the type I use. I used Finecut to set them in the original file, before sending the PDF to the HP Latex printer. Service...

(P.S. That should be CG-SRii, not STii, but it won't let me edit the title) Firstly, it's a lovely plotter, and Finecut, operating from Win 7 was great too. (problems getting Win-10 to load Finecut, but that's no great issue- we just use an older PC instead.) But we bought the plotter with...

I started with Enroute 3, then 4, and other than a bit of a learning curve, I really like it. 2D, 2.5 D & 3D. I can't say I've had a problem at all that was due to ER, other than operator error. When you understand how it works, it's good - and surprisingly powerful. I've not used the other...

HI, you mentioned that getting Win-10 to work with Finecut was an easy Macro fix. I'm interested in knowing how that happens, or how it is remedied, please. When I fun Finecut (the win-10-64 version) it says "Installed Corel Draw Not Found" installation terminating. Thanks, Ian Stewart-Koster

PVC has a much greater expansion/contraction rate than timber, as temperature changes during the day. It is generally regarded as unsuitable in many exposed/sunlit situations like that, if you want it to last, glued, without falling off. You might get it to work, but you will be in precarious...

I'd appreciate knowing, thanks. Our Win10 PC would not accept X5, so I put Corel 2019 on it. No problems. Then I installed the Mimaki finecut USB #1 & #2 exe files, and tried the CG SRii driver - no go. I ran the most recent version of Finecut, and it would have installed, but gave me the same...

Didn't you ever watch Mission Impossible? "This message will self-destruct in 15 seconds.....Boom!"

(but it's a secret, so you'd better not let-on you know!) ;)

There is a very simple workaround I discovered when we accidentally broke the middle of our FC cd taking it out of the silly plastic container. Luckily I'd saved the contents long before, though. But all you need to do is take a blank cd, and format it or burn it with the CD label being the word...

1000 signs? How big? Is screen printing them an option?

Email Matthew Thomas at precisionpackaging@bigpond.com in Brisbane, Australia. He has a dongle and CD for Signlab v.6 for sale. (He uses Corel entirely, hence does not need Signlab)

Hi, I got your message. I'll reply properly by email with the age and colours; but I had a quick look and for the L25500, there are 10 unused, unopened, 789 cartridges of varying dates, mostly 2017, and 6 heads, unopened, unused, dated mostly 2017, and 2018. Plus we have 7 partly full cartridges...

Where are you from? I'll part with the 25500 inks and heads- but I'm still using the 260s.

Thanks for all those replies- i appreciate it. I can just use a newer version x5 in preference - on W10, and keep the others on the other machines. I was just interested in why the issues might have occurred. Thanks.

Quick question please: I read recently that X3 will NOT work under win 10. I'm wondeirng why? Before I sound cheap, old habits die hard and I'm happy using X3 on a few legacy XP or Win 7 machines that drive the plotter, router and lasers. I also have x5 and 2019, and in order prefer the two...

Nope. I use a 30- ft serial lead to run our CNC router with no problems. But the 64 bit win 7 PC could not see the plotter, via the LPT lead. We put XP on it in a VM and it was no different. I honestly wrestled with it for 2 days before giving up- and the techs too, and we just used a 32 bit...

For what it's worth... I have two PNC1000s here, of similar era to the PC60/600, and a PNC 1410. (amd a mimaki CG130FX2) The old Rolands happily work on a Win XP 32 bit machine. I use the old parallel/centronics printer leads. But no amount of VM setting up on a 64 bit machine worked whatsoever...
