  • Versacamm scaling cut to full width of media

    Posted by Peter Dee on 23 November 2009 at 13:17

    I have a SP300 which has started scaling the contour cuts to the full width of the media.
    With a rectangle of say 200 wide x 40 deep the print is scaled perfectly but the contour cut will be 40mm x the width of the roll instead of the 200mm. There is no linearity to this such as scaled one way by a percentage – always stretches to the edge.

    Can anyone shed some light on this before I go insane?

    Just realised that it is printing the printers own reg marks at the full width of the media also, instead of surrounding the image.

    Thanks Chris. Yes it is.
    Think I’ve sussed it.
    I selected RESET in the cutter setup screen (next to the decals bit) and it’s cured it.
    Don’t know how it happened – maybe I touched fit to page by mistake but I don’t recall it.

    Oops, sorry Chris, it wasn’t Colorip. I have that installed but still using Signlab VPM as I’m new to this side of things. Is Colorip a better option.
    If so, how do I send a signlab 8 file to it?

    that will explain about fit to page, as its not in colourrip

    its a out of date programe but still does it for me 😉

    if you are getting the results you want stay with what you are doing.
    to get from SL to CR export as a tiff jpeg , pdf or with cutpath a eps.
