pc60 and corel 8
guys , just got myself one of these pc60 "cost a bomb to print" printer cutters , cant afford one of the big boys , this will do fine for us , its just to be able to add ms cliparts people keep sending us to mag signs etc……
i’m a corel man though , and finding it hard to get tutorials or something of the like on how to integrate this machine into corel , does anybody know of such a tutorial , corel website doesnt even recognize pc60 , and even the word roland only came up with 1 result in the forums….
cheers , sd

Hi
When I had my PC60 I just installed the printer driver from Roland and selected it as a printer in the print menu. Remember for cutting you will have to create an outline of the image. What operating system do you have? I have drivers at the office which might work.Peter

peter , i have found the drivers , and as you say , i can print as a normal printer , contour doesnt seem to cut though , just print out instead , so i am in the process of downloading a trail for x3 , maybe i can just dump my work into x3 after creation in corel8 , i’ll try later , need to catch up on jobs first though , its amazing how far behind you get when your fiddling with pc’s !!…
win xp by the way , but i think i already have what your suggesting to send me,….
many thanks

You need to select a hairline outline and maybe even reduce to the lowest possible setting 0.0001 and then apply that. In cut option you have the choice of a few I think the solid one will do it. You may need to do a few tests as this is from memory but you don’t need X3 to run the pc-60.

Correct shouldn’t need X£ for this as long as you can create a contour cut outline. The PC 60 drivers will also allow cutting different outline colours if you wish.

Steve,
Corel need to have one specified ‘color user’ file where you have all ribbon colors PC600 can to print
there is also color ‘contourcut’ – you must use this like contour color and thickness less then 0.01
also, for example, you can select, in printer driver, red spot color to print with red ribbon to save money /don’t print with magenta and yellow/
i have excellent results when print with white, silver and gold ribbons, very very nice on dark vinyl
