We mainly get this is we set up duplicates in signlab, if possible repeat in P&C. Also rotating bitmaps causes issues, again if possible create in the graphics in the orientation you want to send them to the printer.

Phill
it was a problem with signlab, but has been improved with SL8.
How big is the image?
You may be able use the link facility to get round some of the issues,
and Like Gavin says do repeats in the rip, not in sigmlab itself, you will need to rip to file first though, if it is a print and cut job, before you can do repeats

AArrgh..right done all that ripped first etc a;ll set up fine, then when i press print it then fails..??

[Gavin MacMillan]

what was the error when it failed to print? Shouldn’t be memory after it has ripped. I think you may need to be methodical and eliminate things like cut lines, fades etc. certain design items can cause errors. Can you maybe post an image of what you are trying to print?

If it is still a memory problem, shut down your computer completely, not restart, then try again when it boots up without opening any unneeded software.

Edit – another thought, if you also have a dedicated rip like versaworks, just publish your file as a high quality pdf and print from there, has gotten us out of many a jam. Done this way all your cut lines and everything should work without any messing around.
