PC 600 – cartridge bar codes

[Phill Fenton]

Have you tried the "trick" of using an ordinary used black cartridge to load your spot colour ribbon into. When you need to print that particular spot colour you simply instruct your printer to print black – remove the real black cartridge and replace it with the black cartridge containing your spot colour ribbon (It doesn’t have to be black – you can use a spare C, M or Y cartidge in exactly the same way) 😀

yes phill
i do that all the time
but, in case when need more colors it will be nice to have 6 different cartridges in printer
so, i need more barcodes
simple, look at your cartridge and post that what you see /example in upper post/
and one more thing:
maybe i need ready, for example, one blue, dark blue, light blue, red, dark red, … in cartridges with different barcodes
so i need to know look of barcodes, to make it, i will print metalic silver on matt black vinyl, or you have any better idea?

I no longer have a Colorcamm and therefore any cartridges to be able to look up bar codes for you. Hopefully someone else with a colorcamm reading this will be able to help 😀

[Sead]

[Sead]

Hi Sead

I have emailed you the Barcodes – all except the white, we have never used white.

If you don’t get it let me know.

can’t you set a starting point for the print?
i so this alot on the edge for example.

-i don’t know how many meters i have left on a roll and think i might have enough but may not have enough.

-my artwork contains more than one colour

-i set the edge on a fixed starting point and print the first colour.

-i don’t have enough meters and the edge says check vinyl.

-i reset the edge and reload the media on the fixed starting point.

-i set my first and already printed colour as last and print with the second color

-etc…

if you print replacement colours everytime you go over 4 you’ll be fine.

yes, dennis
that is one slow method, jumping around printer changing cartridges, lot of possibilities to something go wrong
my PC600 can use 6 colours /placed inside the printer/ but, i have only 5 different barcodes /by that barcodes, on the bottom side of cartridge, the printer know wich color is in cartridge/
so, i have a lot of refill tapes and empty cartridges, and need to know how looks barcodes for other colors /red, blue, green, orange, white,…/ to make my life better then now is
for now i use barcodes only for cyan/35R/, magenta/34R/, yellow/33R/ and black/32R/
ops, as i remember you have Summa DC3 printer, and maybe that what i say sounds to you difficult
also, thanks for your post
