RIP weirdness

[bob]

RIPing and printing a print/cut job with Flexi 8.6v2 to a Mutoh Valuejet 1204..

A 44" long print shows distortion at the tail end of the print. I've printed this thing this way and rotated it 180 degrees, re-RIPed, and the distortion is always at the end of the print. What are supposed to be straight lines on Y become visibly distorted. It would appear to be just the trailing edge of the image. There is no distortion anywhere else.

I have never, as in ever, encountered this before.

did you ever figure out what was causing this? I'm experiencing something like this to a degree, but have seen similar issues from my Mutoh's in the past. I'm currently working with Signwarehouse to troubleshoot my problem, as the tech says he's never seen it before either. I wasn't sure if you'd be able to point me in any sort of direction.

We have this happen only using a certain Oracal profile. It only happens when we print using no color correction with that profile. Don't know a fix for it other then changing the rendering.... really weird indeed.

I've hit it - hard.
Flexi 8.6 on a vj1304
Only happens to me if it is a vector layout wrapped in an eps/ai container.
No idea what it is but the fix was to rasterize the file - worked 100% of the time.
