Okay, I'm doing my best not to slam my head into the wall and feeling rather embarrassed. I've been a Photoshop and Illustrator user for more than 12 years and didn't think I could come across anything that would phase me. Then a Versacamm VP-540 came into my life. Great machine...but I'm having an issue that is no doubt so simple I can't see it. Let me explain...
I got my Versacamm a week ago. The process has been interesting, but I'll leave that to another post. I have literally thousands of graphics I've used on shirts and other materials for years, so I was ready to let loose. Had no problem bringing in graphics, getting my CutContour lines around them and exporting EPS to Versaworks. Did a few dozen things as training this past week without problem. Then I did something on a new graphic I created for a lapel design and I've got my CutContour line on it, but Versaworks won't see the line? Hmmmm...I checked all the obvious things. Even loaded the Roland Versaworks palette and used their CutContour color to no avail. Was worried it may have been a transparency issue, so I made doubly sure that when exporting I set the transparency to Opaque. No go.
Now I know the years have not been kind on my brain...maybe it's this stickin cold I've been fighting, but I'm just not figuring this one out.
BTW...at the shop I use a computer with all my graphics software on it and with the Versaworks client & server. At home I use my laptop. Has anyone figured out how you can use Versaworks when not actively on the network with the printer, for offline RIPing and for verifying everything is good with your cut line? Would be valuable for me to be able to do that as I do a lot of graphics design work at home.
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes pity on me.
