  VersaCamm, help adjusting print area please

  Hi

  Just about to print a 6 metre banner, but in the job setting in the RIP software, it’s only allowing me to print up to 5 metres???

  It’s probably something quite obvious I’m doing wrong, can anyone help?

  Cheers

  Nick

  Go into the Setting for the job. Look at the Media settings. Size should be Custom ROLL. In that way, it should take the full size that is being passed from your design package. Also, just check the Width and Height settings just below the Size.

  I print directly from Illustrator, however Illustrator will not use and Artboard of 6 meters, normally about 5, so what I do is size my job to half size, 3 meters x 0.6 meters. Then in VersaWorks I scale it to 200% and then print it. I often print 6 meter x 1.2 meter banners no problem.

  Genius Neil! I did just that, saved it half size, then scaled it up to 200%.

  Tried altering media size, it just would let me alter the height (length)

  Oh well, sorted anyway

  Thanks mate 😉
