Wasatch Cutpath Situation

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this post. I have been using Wasatch to conture cut things for awhile now but I am stumped. I have some artwork that WON'T go into Wasatch with the cutpath. I have tried it 6 ways to Sunday and to no avail. It seems to be the artwork, I think. Only because I just sent another print and it worked????? Any advice would be greatly appericiated.

Signed,
So Confused and Frusterated:help

OK, not sure what you know, and what you don't....so bear with me.

1. Create your cut path in Illy

2. Create a new color swatch in Illy's palette (typically I use 100% Magenta) and rename it as CUTPATH (all one word, no spaces) make sure you create it as a spot color. This is the color you use for your contour cut.

3. Before you upload into Wasatch, make sure you have selected "Process Cut Paths" within the setup window.

Voila!

OK, also - I forgot to mention to make sure you also print the necessary crop marks for your cutter to use in order to see/register the printed piece for cutting.

(Again, not sure what you know, and what you don't...)

Simple Name Cutting with Wasatch...

We just got Wasatch to use with our new GS6000....but we thought we might as well use it with our cutter, too, for cutting names for T-Shirts...

When we were using Flexi, we just went in typed the names...and cut.

Am I correct that with Wasatch we don't have that option?

Do we HAVE to create the file in Illy or CorelDraw and create cutpath?

I can't believe this post, my name is Angela and I am having the SAME EXACT problem, I swear I have been working on this thing for like 3 hours, on the brink of tears, I swear. But Fat Cat I have the Process Cut Paths marked and it still won't read. I did another cut before that, it worked and now I can't get this one to go. I have done everything you said to do and to no avail. Anymore great words of advice? Could it be the artwork, it is just lettering. Please help me

Hey Angela,

Wondering if you were able to solve this. Just yesterday I was trying to cut a file via Wasatch (as I normally do) and the running ants ran away (no where to be found).

Tried recreating the cut path in Illy. Tried re-configuring the printers (cutter) in Wasatch and nothing.

Let me know please when you get the chance.

BTW...post 14...pretty funny...I lol'd like crazy.
