Do you have USECUTSPLINES OFF ticked in the rip? (setup-rip configuration-configure jaws rip)? Give it a go it might make a difference - "By default, the cutter drivers will send splines to cutters that support splines but will convert the splines to line segments for those cutters that don’t...

Backlit is usually profiled with slow speeds to achieve acceptable quality. To achieve the required density when light is applied behind, most printers must print with multiple passes and maximum ink laydown. Also backlighting shows banding easily and a fast speed will show banding more easily...

Yes you should avoid converting from RGB to CMYK in your file - there is no sense in doing that. However the original poster is saying that the print shop prefers RGB files it doesn't mean they can't handle CMYK files - their rip will treat each equally. It also doesn't mean you should convert...

Smooth grads The Issue is with the media profile & rip - not your file. A quality rip should have a good profiling engine and a good set of stock profiles that do not show this effect - unfortunately it is a common issue. You can recalibrate your profile to even the tonal response and if...

RGB or CMYK The banner printer is correct to ask for RGB. There is no reason to work in CMYK unless you are outputting to separations. As he has a Vutek (and probably an EFI rip) the rip will convert whatever you give him - RGB or CMYK files - into LAB and then into CMYK for the printer to...

Hi With a rip and digital printer there is no need to work in CMYK if you are designing your own stuff. Assuming you are not outputting to separations, working in CMYK is just a hangover from another industry and is unnecessary unless you are handling files from another source who insists on...

I have tried this with success in the past: remove both firewire cards & delete all firewire & onyx drivers. Download latest drivers (make sure 64bit driver is used in 64bit systems) physically install one card with its driver and then install and configure Onyx to this printer (as if you only...

Onyx rip speed is often misunderstood. Caldera rips a line and prints a line etc - Onyx rips it all & then prints it all so it just seems slower. If you take 5 different jobs and rip and print them all you will find often Onyx is faster overall - I have both in the print shop. Also ONYX IS...

Double Cuts Make sure the PDF is not an early version (eg 1.3) Save as a v1.7 and have another go.

You probably have to upgrade to v7 Hi The printer was launched some time after your software. Thus you will not have the VJ driver on your dongle. If Onyx built driver for this printer for v6/6.5, you can pay to get the permission added to the dongle via an email update file and can download...
