Hi everyone, I am looking for a bit of help as I have recently started working at my parents business and we are having issues with having our old system break down and having to set up on new Pc's. We do predominantly vehicle graphics with commercial signage and print work using a couple of mimaki machines for print and cut graphics, mostly off of signlab printing off of a mimaki jv33-160 then cutting via CG 130 FX II, with using signlabs own VPM as well as rasterlink for print jobs. We do the occasional print and cut off of our cjv30-130, however this tends to be more a backup as this was a 2nd hand purchase and can be a bit unreliable.
We have now switched over to illustrator as recently purchased a new machine as due to having to reset the PC it seems that we can no longer reinstall this set up on signlab 10 as we have been unable to install the cutter in VPM due to the server no longer being supported on signlab 10. We have tried all kinds of work arounds and had even had an expert attempt via teamviewer, and CADLink will no longer offer support unless we upgrade to 11. At the moment we are able to use fine cut 9 to cut from the cg , however I am unable to set up printing from the JV 33 to then cut off the CG as the software doesn't list the JV33 to send to Rasterlink through finecut as it doesn't have a built in cutter as only a printer, I can set up the CJV to do so but we really need the some form of set up to have cutting from the cg and printing on jv33.
I have looked everywhere for a solution to set this up as I cannot work out how to set up myself , would anyone be able to recommend a solution or even point me in the direction of someone who can help? I am still a bit new to the workings of the different set up and rip software's and I am a little out my depth. Any advice is appreciated , thank you .
