"Great point Butch, that may have been what I was looking for. I knew we had this issue before and it my have been the data being dropped during the conversion process. A great idea is to switch to the eps and if that clears it up then it is the size…"

Can anyone tell me why this didn't cut? I printed it with another print cut and it worked fine so it wasn't until it didn't cut that I realized there was a problem. If I delete the lower layer it…Continue

Butch replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Black lines across small spots in banner"I've seen this happen before when converting a jpeg to pdf. It appears that the only area affected is the photo of the bride and groom and which leads me to believe that is whats happening here, It is in the conversion process and happens only…"
Elizabeth Laws replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Black lines across small spots in banner"The boob shot is up side down and the groom is rotated 90 deg. I looked when it was printing and it wasn't actually rubbing on the print head (plus if it was that buckled it would be cut too). Don't see anything hanging. …"
irving donaldson replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Black lines across small spots in banner"Head dragging from buckling would be wider. I am trying to research your issue, as I seen this before a long time ago. The bands are horizontal, correct? You did post your picture vertical, correct? Your issue is not banding. Check in the meanwhile…"

So I printed a banner for us to use in a expo tomorrow and noticed that across where there is a photo black lines have been printed. Very upsetting! I went back to my original art to check to see if I had any stray vectors but nope. Got down and looked at the material as it was printing, looked pretty flat to me. IF it was buckling or anything it wasn't close to the print head. They are in the direction that the carriage moves in and seem to be of random lengths and spacing in the print…See More

Elizabeth Laws replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"The printer/software got stuck at 5% when I retried the print, but after restarting everything the pdf in X3 worked. I was thinking that I might have to print the file with crop marks and then use a separate file to cut if I had to. If I…"
irving donaldson replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"I had a similar issue recently and when you mentioned the fill - the thought triggered. My fix - did the fill from corel pattern added the cut - no work - so before I did fill I did the cutline and separated it. I did the fill - bitmapped it and…"

Elizabeth Laws replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"Normally I'd check for the A mark, but I will post about the oddness with the metallic colors later. I nested it with a little metallic decal also printing so I wouldn't really waste the bit of material at the end. Turns out I shot…"
Elizabeth Laws replied to DanielTF3's discussion Just out of Curiosity"We have an Epilog Mini. Mostly we use it for legend plates, but that might be because no one ever really got very experienced with it. They did some neat things with it when it was new, but it has been at the shop longer than I have. One…"
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"Make sure the pdf file is a PDF x3 format. Some other formats do not save the vector data as well.

irving donaldson replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"I have had files that did not pick up the cut lines in PDF. There is no indicator until I bring into VW and see no A. I then export to EPS and the same file works. I just except it and keep moving. Hopefully one day I will figure the cause."
John H. replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"OK Don't use PDF files often but there must be something that prohibits spot colors to be imported into VW or something to do with different file types don't know and it doesn't matter just export as a eps file and all is good, group…"
irving donaldson replied to Elizabeth Laws's discussion Help! Not cutting"Just two cents without looking at the file.

2nd look across in the status area and under special effects u should see a dotted blue A
3rd when you go into job settings under your quality tab ensure you are using a profile that…"
