Contour Cut Latex 800w Sandwich Mode

Wondering if anyone has figured out how to do Contour Cutting on a 3 or 5 layer Sandwich Mode file on HP 800W? From what I'm finding it is not possible? If it's not is anyone aware if it is something HP is working on providing?

#1 Hi, Each RIP has its own considerations. Please refer to this guide https://lkc.hp.com/printers/hp-latex-700/blog/how-rip-and-print-sandwich-mode-latex-700w-and-800w# to know more about them. As this feature is handled by RIP we recommend you to log in a case if this feature is a must have for you. Thanks and have a good day

#2 White paper states Print and cut not available in Caldera or Onyx for 5 Layer work SAI is less specific Is there any updates on this function as small label work requires print and cut critically

You’ll have to run it as a separate print layer for the cut. Haven’t heard anything official from HP about adding it yet, but a few reps mentioned it’s on their feature request list.

#4 I believe that you can do it within Flexi, but there is a caveat. For each layer you create you'll need to print a set of registration marks. So here's what should work. In flexi create a 5 layer job with each layer containing what is necessary to print, White, Colour, Black information etc. Your cutinformation may need to be on layer 1 It must all be to scale of each layer, so if you must, but a box around each object on each layer to confine the objects. Within flexi go to Effects, then Contour Cut Marks. Select you marks and setup as you normally do. Each layer will need these marks. Rip and Print your job with a 5 payer profile selected. Select and Merge your layers as normal. May require splitting depending upon how you do it. Once merged, the print job marks should print in the same process as the typical 5 layer job. Back in Flexi, use the File>Cut Contour or Icon or from your Main task bar. This will output the cut job, or at least should if its going to work at all. This is as yet untested, just a process aI thought about and am offering up for testing. Please provide your results.
