PC-60 Help

[Frank Droog]

I forget allmost everything i ever knew about the pc60.
Doesnt it come with Cyan,Magenta,Yellow,Black cartrideges.
Dont the cartridges have ID numbers on them that the PC60 reads.
Is there a setup in the driver that shows the ID number it is looking for.
Does it match the id number on the cartridge?

I notice there are Resin and Non Resin Ribbons
Have you mixed them , as they have differant ID numbers.

Does it look like the machine is trying to find the 2 ribbons and giving up. Or is it not even looking for them.
Actually, i thought the machine Beeped if it couldnt find the ribbon.

If you are printing in corel draw you must use the userinks pallette for the spot colours or create your own with the correct colour values below otherwise it will print in CMYK.
The carts must have the correct barcodes on and they must be the PC-60 as the PC-600 uses different codes.

Colour palette values

Red = 255-0-0
Green = 0-255-0
Blue = 0-0-128
Cyan = 0-255-255
Magenta = 255-0-255
Yellow = 255-255-0
Orange = 255-128-0
Black = 0-0-0
White = 255-255-255
Gold = 128-128-0
Silver = 128-128-128

to print in these colours you need to select from process cartridge
C,M,Y,K – CR-MR Resin from drop down list
and then go to special and select the colour cartridge required.

Then UCR = Spot colour.
Make sure that all colour cartridges have the correct barcode labels on.

Cartridge codes for the PC-60 are

Cyan = 15
Magenta = 14
Yellow = 13
Black = 12

Spot colours

Black = 12
Red = 21
Blue = 22
Green 23
Orange = 20
White = 10
Met Gold = 8
Met Silver = 11

Hope this helps,
Al.

Please forgive me for the lack of info, here goes…
My name is Simon, I work in the IT industry in West Yorkshire, UK. I’m quite technically minded, however confess to know very little about the sign and banner industry. My Dad (David) bought this PC-60 machine a few weeks ago with a view to making signs for our shop windows and cars and van (he’s semi retired now and wants to treat it as a bit of a hobby from his office at home)
I’ve been tasked with setting this kit up for him (in between doing my regular work) so I’m kind of trying to learn it as I go.
Alex & Frank, thank you very much for that info, I’m going to try and apply some of that info this afternoon, I’ll let you know how I get on.
