I'm running a ULS laser (hairline red to cut) I'm importing a photoshop eps file, running a outline line art trace, creating a boundry and right clicking for my red hairline... all that said when I run the job my rasta black engraves but that's where it stops no vector cut on the red?? Any ideas? nothing obvious seems to be in my way, I've even tried "skipping" the other colors and only selecting run RED as VECTOR, when I do that the job goes to the printer, as soon as I push start the end "beep" goes off, it's like it's not even seeing the vector/red line? I'm at your mercy.

Gabe,

Your laser beeps " done " because it does not see any vector lines to cut. Make sure your red cutline is a hairline.

Be sure you've set your laser to vector red--not to skip or engrave.

Layer set to not print?

Also make sure it is a true red, R 255 G 0 B 0.

I had similar problems when I first started and thanks to the wonderful people here I worked through a number of suggestions regarding colour, line thickness etc and managed to work out that my CorelDraw 7 was the culprit. I upgraded to X3 and the vector cutting worked.

Make sure that Color Management is turned off as well. Otherwise the red is not a red that is recognized by the laser system.
