Printing stopping short of finish line.
I have a small problem printing a job.
I have a poster I am printing and even though I have converted it from an EPS to a bitmap and reduced the size to 25% the job only prints one third of the job and stops.
The job is 2500 x 700mm and I have printed much longer than that with no problems.
I have tried to print 3 different ways and rebooted the computer but to no avail.
The artwork was done in Corel 11.
Using Roland Colorip to print.
There seems to be no memory issues.Darn and blast, I have been printing a smaller job while typing this and it has done the same again, this time the poster is only 30” x 40” and stopped about 3/4 way through.
Can anyone help please.
Thanks
Mike. -

I had a similar problem (albeit Mimaki)
turned out to be either the firewire card or the cable, changed both together rather than try and eliminate one.
Are you getting any message like IO error on the control panel?Peter

this may sound stupid, i had the same problem with my easysign rip for my mutoh,
the technical cure from mutoh , ( don’t laugh) on my rip page don’t leave it viewing the file that it is printing but select a different category, i.e profiles. they haven’t got a clue why and i didn’t believe it would work but it did.Ian

Wow that was quick Pete and Ian.
There are no issue messages at all. the printer stops printing at the same point each time and then just runs the paper out to its finishing point.😥

mike in the early days of colour rip this was a problem then disappeared.
i used to put it down to the input file size which you seem to have covered. out put size was never a problem.
a qtr size jpeg should do it though. trouble is the cost of finding out sorrychris

again, i have had a similar problem, it turned out to be dust on the (not sure what its called) clear strip that the print head runs along, i cleaned it off and it worked perfectly.
Took about 2 days of trying allsorts first before cleaning this.
