Anyone using compucut? We do quite a few gang runs, we are implementing compucut. Looking to get others experience with this workflow.

I've installed at least 15 of these in the western US. 95% of the shops are running gang work, which changes everytime, so we put it in automatic mode to take the cutting data in from prepress (Signastation, Preps Pro, Metrix) and push the cutting programs into memory B on the cutter. There are times it wont process the cut data if you are doing illegal cuts according to Polar logic (no nested business cards). I'd say 85% of the cutting programs work great, the other 15% the operator decides to alter the cutting sequence.
