onyx 12 cutcontour

[jason91]

Can someone tell me what im doing wrong in onyx with my cutcontour.. ive got my cutter set up, it will print the graphic with the crop marks around it.. But when i print it says i have no cut data? my vector software is coreldraw.. ive done everything from naming a spot color to cutcontour, then exporting it..... to using a hairline outline cutcontour (like you do with versaworks) spot color and exporting.. nothing seems to work at getting onyx to recognize the cut line

You file is probably not correct. I don't think it matters but the line should be "CutContour".
You can check in Onyx quickset what prefixes it is looking for. Then you can double click on your job on the list and from the left there is "spot colours" or something like that where it shows all the detected spot colours. CutContour must be there on the list to work.

If you can upload a sample file here, one of us Onyx users can check it out to be sure.

When you load the file in Onyx, the job editor screen should come up. Make sure you mark the correct cutter, then check the cutting by clicking the checkbook off and on. You should see the cutting in your "CutContour" color come on and off as you toggle that setting. No need to print if it doesn't change on and off here. If that happens it's your artwork cut contour is not setup correctly.

There are several YouTube videos that will show you how to do the cut contour correctly. It is a bit tricky, until you finally figure it out.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Check in your Quickset of the cutting prefix is set wrong.
