Gerber PC1600 Cutter and Composer Software
Interesting one this.
I have placed a 1220 roll of vinyl into my Gerber Cutter plotter PC1600 when I output my design through Composer it sets it out in panels of 300mm. Does anyone know how to set the machine to do my whole design in a one cut panel so to speak without the need to have joins. At the moment it is divided up into 4 equal pieces. The client does not want joins etc, hence the wide format vinyl.
Cheers Steve (Again)

Sounds as though you haven’t selected the
plotter in the device/output box.I ‘sthinking it’s
using a small plotter!! -
I thought possibly that it could be a setting that I need to adjust for the wider vinyl either on the cutter or within the software. At the moment I have 4 ‘panels’ when I would like to use the whole width of the vinyl. I feel a bit of a neep at the moment, I am trying to get my head around a completely new concept for me.

hello, i think you will find your cutter is a summa, so you should be able to pole size it ie get the page size via the software, so the software knows what size media is loaded and is able to cut, or you should be able to contact spandex for tech support

Did you manage to sort it out Steve?
-
No not yet. I think I will phone Spandex. When I took over this work there were no manuals for any of the machines I am using everything has been trial and error and getting info from these forum pages etc .The previous manager ( who had a major disagreement with the owner) has done his best to make things difficult by removing manuals and software from the business (court case pending).

For every bodies attention the nice people at Spandex have sorted my problem.
I was sending a mixture of cut lines and graphics, so confused the poor cutter into it helping me the best way it could by using a number of panels. Now my work is one ‘cut’ and not print as well it now fits the full width of my vinyl.
CLEAR AS MUD so they say. See I told you I was a neep!! (neep is scottish for turnip) -
Never thought on that one Steve watch that in the future
fills or strokes will have the same effect 😀
