  • can anyone advise with cadet & contour cutting problem?

    Has anyone experienced this – Using a Cadet plus Troop Rip, eps files from Corel Draw V8. Exported eps with contour with correct settings, 1st print printed but did not contour cut – reset machine and computer. 2nd time printed and contour cut as expected, remaining jobs all printed but refused to contour cut – the contour line prints but will not cut even the original one wouldn’t cut. Tried resetting machine, re-exporting files – no luck, anybody any ideas? must be a setting we’ve missed.

    It sounds as if the line you are using as the contour is not a spot colour.

    The line must be a spot colour and ensure that you have set the colour name to match that as set in the rip ie cut.

    Cheers

    Only in corel and printing/cutting from corel does it have to match identically the colour assigned as a cut line.
    For a contour in corel you can use any colour under the sun as long as the values of the colour match identically the values of the cut line.

    Maybe exporting without a contour and add one in troop

    You don’t need to assign a colour in Flexi or Troop for a contour cut, just make sure it’s enabled in the RIP and the RIP is setup to print and cut and not just print, oh, and don’t forget to add the contour and click the tick button or it doesn’t add it 😉

    Troop has its own dedicated contour cut, theres no need to export a contour cut line from corel. its not like the way the old pc60 or 600 are use, when you had to use a windows driver to print from. just import your graphic, tell troop to put a contour around it, and away you go!
