Mac Users And Colorcut Pro - Intec ColorCut SC5000 Series User Manual

Mac users and ColorCut Pro

Mac users can design and generate jobs on Mac workstations using ColorCut Pro's
Job library feature.
Note the main ColorCut Pro (Production Studio) cutting application is PC
only, so Mac users can design their artwork on the Mac and use a PC to
connect to the cutter for the cutting of the jobs.
Mac users can design and cut files using 2 different approaches:
1. You can use the Mac ColorCut Pro feature 'ColorCut Pro ADD PageMARKs'; this
utility will add the registration marks necessary to cut your file. You should then save
your design as an illustrator file that can be opened on the PC which is connected
to the cutter. (If you save the files in Illustrator format, you must have Illustrator also
installed on the PC to open Illustrator files). You can then use ColorCut Pro in direct
mode and then cut directly from the PC version of Illustrator.
or (the recommended solution is ):
2. Connect a PC to your Intec cutter and install ColorCut Pro - Production Studio, on
the PC (on the same network as the MAC), configure the ColorCut Pro Job Library
feature to act as a cut job library server for your Mac.
Use your Mac to create your artwork and then use the Mac ColorCut Pro feature
'ColorCut Pro ADD PageMARKs & QRcode'. (On MAC, this feature is found in
the Illustrator main menu, just under the PRINT command). This feature enables
Mac users to design on their Mac and then when the 'Add PageMARKs & QRcode'
feature is selected from the Illustrator menu, ColorCut Pro will assign a Job number
AND a QRcode to the artwork, the cut file is automatically sent (in the background),
to the ColorCut Pro Job library server on your PC so that is may be cut at a later
date. This enables Mac designers to design efficiently on their MAC and allows Print
Production operators to cut the Mac designed jobs from the remote PC connected
to the Intec cutter using the Job Server and Job Library feature.
