Butch replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"I know cut accuracy is a problem on long jobs, thats why I added depending on job size. If you find a solution let us know."
Richie Cullin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"I understand that now, thank you... I will get use to aligning the reg marks without using FOTOBA setting.... however I still get the issue of the take up reel not engaging once it passes the sensor "
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Dan - you cannot use crop marks for registration other than those from Versaworks."
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"FOTOBA lines are for a specific separate cutter and there is no increase in registration accuracy on the Roland when using them."
Richie Cullin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Hi Butch, No Can Do Bud...I send through multiple jobs purely because of the accuracy issues when contour cutting... no point sending through 5 metres of laminated vinyl if the media drifts a 2 -3 mm or so."
Richie Cullin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Hi Steve, I have experimented with the cut marks ...the settings in the mark box are now....
Type: No Marks
Crop Marks (Print&CutAlignment) box ticked
This basically prints the reg marks as you suggested but disables the option to print…"
DanielTF3 replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"May take some time but wouldn't it be better to create the crop marks and set the page layout to the size and length of your media then export the file as eps? Therefore you can position the crop marks to where ever you want them to be on the…"
Butch replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues" Cropmarks created in other programs will not work in the print - cut later feature because they were not generated in VW. There are some earlier posts on this site discusing this"
DanielTF3 replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Wouldn't working off VW and setting the artwork and crop marks on Corel then exporting the file as an EPS be a better option? For the Roland Take-Up-Reel I wouldn't know a thing much about... =("
irving donaldson replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"As Steve stated unless you are using a specific FOTOBA cutter, then those are not the marks to use. As Butch mentioned, here most of us nest our jobs with registration marks, laminate and then run back in the printer. I have witness the Roland…"
Butch replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Just a thought, but depending on the job sizes of course, wouldn't it be easier to nest the jobs instead of trying to print several jobs continuosly."
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"I think I may be missing something here - FOTBA are a totally different set of cut marks than the print cut registration marks you are describing. Are you doing FOTOBA for that specific type of cutter or just the print cut registration…"
Richie Cullin replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Hi Irving, Yes I have purchased a VS-640 with the Roland take up reel and you are correct I am trying to print separate jobs continuously with each having there own marks. In response to disabling the device...this only…"
irving donaldson replied to Richie Cullin's discussion Roland take up arm issues"Richie, I trust that you are using the Roland take-up reel. I have not used it personally but have seen it in operation at Roland.s HQ. In attempt to follow your post, I am interpreting that you are trying to print seperate jobs continuously, each…"

Hi all, not sure if anyone has come across this issue before..... I want to print a number of files one after the other using the FOTOBA Cutline marks with the 'print vertical lines' and Crop Marks' boxes ticked in versaworks. (I need to laminate these prints and contour cut at a later time)I lace up the media onto the take up roll and set my base point....the first file prints lovely and all's tickety boo...however when the next file starts...its prints the standard reg marks, disabling the…See More
