    Hi

    Can anyone help Cadet 760 running ecosolmax, colourip and illustrator cs2, prints fine but will not cut the contour line. Ive checked all the procedures but might be missing something.? It does test cut although it does a strange slight cut about 5mm just outside the test cut circle.?
    In illustrator i have Saved the cut line as contour-cutt and spot colour, stroke 0.25, mitre 1.
    In colorip checked process cutting paths and enable cutting.

    Also how do you nest horizontally in colorip. ?

    Im trying to set up a label workflow. Any help would be appreciated.

    are you sure it should be CutPath for colourrip ?

    Defo CutPath, also thought it had to be ‘hairline’ or is that for Corel only? 😕

    Adrian as far as colourrip is concerned its the path name it reads not the width. a thicker line has its uses but generally keep it a hairline.

    Hi Chris

    rechecked as you advised

    Problem solved. I had saved as cutpath but without the capitals.

    can you recommend good label materials / supplier ?

    Many Thanks

    John 😀

    boils down to different types for different jobs and customer requirements, like do they want to write on them, chemical resistance, durability, and so on.
