Hi,
I use a camm-1 with Roland's own print driver
Objects need to be represented by hairline outlines only, nothing can have a fill applied.
try cutting the attached file.
eoinie said:Hi I am trying to cut vinyl on a Roland Camm-1 from drawings I'm producing in CorelDraw12. I've managed to do it once but it was luck after many tries - now I can't remember what I did. If I trace it from a drawing it comes out on the monitor perfectly and looks ready for cutting, but when I go to print it just starts the machine but won't move. The plotter works fine on the native Dr. Stik software that shipped with it but this is dreadful. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance
Hello to all,
This is an old thread & I am a new member. I have had my plotter, Camm-1 24", for than 15 years. It has been maintained by me mainly.
Had several specific cutting programs, Signmate, Pro cut, etc... After speaking to my brother & the plotter coming to me(it was sitting in a corner at brother house) he stated that i could cut directly from Corel Draw. Here are my specs, XP pro, have serial & LPT cables, Dongle for old programs(no programs), Corel Draw 11, downloaded software from roland & it is in the printers section. Here is exactly what happens; letters or art is in line art & is converted to curves, hair line, one color to make it easy... Ctrl P & i preview it & it is top center on the page & hit the print button and this is the what the plotter does;
the fan comes on & then the plotter moves to a specific X & Y coordinate and stops at that point & does nothing else..
What could be the problem? Checked printer settings, plotter settings, I exported to plt & got fed up after several hours of reading this forum & others.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance...
P.
