In my case, if I send a job based on and laid out within the 12x18 table like my ULS, or from any other starting "plate size", the driver fits whatever I send somewhere within the 24x24" LS900 dimensions.
That's just part of the problem Try this yourself-- Make up any job in Gravo, to 8-1/2 x 11 paper size, just some words or simple shapes. Hit the PRINT button, and choose any 'ink' printer then hit "print preview". What you'll get is your job in a bounding box, within the white screen which represents the default machine's dimensions. Notice at the bottom of the screen will be the filename of the job you're printing. Now print it. The printer will print the bounding box AND the filename along with the actual job. And so will any laser you send any job to. There's no fix that I know of for this...
Kev,
I have never worked with gravo program but I do work with Xenetech program for a long time and I can print to either ULS or Trotec print drivers without a problem of any kind. Anything created in program weather text or graphics is engraved to the scale in raster or vector cut, front engraved or reverse engraved if checked as such. I would have expected same from gravostyle.
