Hi People,

I have been up and running with my Roland for about a week now and the company who I purchased the cutter from in the UK, provide a days training, which is the end of the month. However I have a job to do which consists of 36 polo shirts with nothing more than black vinyl lettering front and back. I want to ouput this direct to the cutter through Corel, rather than using the cut studio software which comes bundled with the cutter.

I have a couple of questions.

1) Am I right in thinking that to set the letters to cut i apply a no fill, with a hairline outline, and reverse the text? I have played about with this and it seems to work.

2) I have to do about 48 sets of designs through the cutter, and I am using 500mm wide vinyl roles. Im not sure how to duplicate the design and apply it to Corel so that I can cut the whole lot in one go, with as minimal vinyl wastage as possible. I have drew a rectangle around the design, for weeding purposes. Can anyone advise how I go about duplicating the design and cutting all 48 jobs in one go. Its the same bunch of wording that I need, just duplicated 48 times and cut continously on the same roll. Its probably simple, but i am overlooking it at the moment.

Thanks so much. I have to get this job finished by Thursday PM.

C33. x

it's been awhile since i cut directly from corel, but if it works like it used to.....make your page in corel the width and length of your vinyl required to accomodate all of your images. X3 has a 'step and repeat' function that will allow you to place your images the desired height & width apart - i do suggest doing a hairline weedbox around each one so you don't have a mess when you go to weed! oh! and remember that even tho your vinyl is 500mm wide, you can't cut that wide so you'll have to allow for this margin on your corel page as well when placing your images!
