Fast Rip help
« on: October 07, 2011, 10:58:23 AM »
If anyone is still using Fast Rip like me, I could sure use your help.  I want to know if there's a way to manually nest the images in Fast Rip.  Mine isn't nesting well and a lot of film is being wasted.  I have Fast Rip 9.0 HS, and an Epson 4880.  Thanks!

If I'm reading this right, aren't those two different software items from Fressner?

At one time, American Screen Supply was offering free tech support for FastRip products.
You could try them.

They also sell the FilmMaker upgrade for FastRip.

I will be switchng when mine quits too.   The problem I have is that the program is not utilzing the space on the film.  It's supposed to lay all the images out using the least amount of film, but it isn't.  i just printed a job out the other day that was BHHS with cheerleading overlapping the bottom of the BHHS in a different color.  When sent it to the printer, it put BHHS near the edge of the film, then put cheerleadling like 6 inches down from BHHS, rather than right underneath.
