Anybody using a KIP Plotter????

I am using the KIP2000 plotter and am trying to find a way to streamline imputing information (plot requester, job number, job name, etc.) without having to input this each and every time we plot. Not to mention batch plotting is an issue as well in regards to inputing this information. I am trying to achieve this so I can retrieve the plot log and know who plotted what and how much square footage was plotted for a particular project, so we can backcharge our clients. Does this make sense??

Thanx
Troy

I used the keyword "Kip" without the "" and got 90 hits on that
topic. Hopefully something there will be of use to you.

 

Troy,

market. They have plot teacking also.

KIP has a software plotting package that does everything you want, called PowerPrint Request. Ask your KIP dealer if your plotter is compatable. They should furnish you with the software if you have their plotter.

 

Also, if you are using PowerPrint Request, what version is it and have you
looked in Options-> Prompt Setup?

PowerPrint Request. Ask your KIP dealer if your plotter is compatable. They
should furnish you with the software if you have their plotter.

 

If you're using PowerPrint Request, depending on the version, the WinReq.ini
file has an option to retain info between plots.
