Versaworks – Cutting each job after print
For the life of me I can’t remember how to cut each job after it’s printed ie if I’m running the same job 10 times and rather than printing them all then trying to cut them all if it’s running several meters
Does that make sense?
I have messed about with the settings but I just can’t see it anywhere and I don’t have a manual with me at the moment
Cheers

Are you putting 10 jobs in the rip and then selecting them all then sending them to the printer? or are you just copying the same job? or grouping them?

Didn’t know you could do this?
I thought you had to add the file ten times, rip them all, select them all and print. With sheet cut selected under each job.
If you can set it as a number and add the file once I’d like to know.

I’m not in front of my machines at present, but, cant you send the job from the RIP once, and in the printer control panel, set it to print 10 times, other than that, send the job 10 times from the RIP….!

There is no need to load multiple copies. You can just press the print button for each set you want to print/cut. This allows you to check each set/remove from the printer etc. then print again.
There is another way to set it up to print many metres broken down into smaller print/cut sets unattended. Is this what you mean?

Peter you have to wait for the job to be finished before you can print again?
Thats why I said load multiple copies. I’ve done this before when I was only cutting vinyl. Let them drop onto the floor after the sheet cut. 🙂

Jason, the alternative way I suggested:
Example: you want to print 1000 stickers in sets of 200 from an eps file containing 20 stickers.
In Versaworks:
Layout: MediaSettings: Size: CustomCUT
Set Print Properties: Copy to 50
Set Media settings: Width as normal
Set Media settings: Length to value of length containing 200 stickersVersaworks will then print and cut each 200 before going on to the next until 5 sets completed. This shows on the right of the screen with heavy blue line separators.
Useful if you want to keep print/cut alignment in check over a small distance rather than running out many metres of print and rewinding all for the cut.
