When exporting to Machine File format (Z00 / ZSK), colors are not correct.

When exporting to Machine File format (Z00 / ZSK), colors are not correct.

 

Symptom / Scenario:  Colors are not correct with the exported Z00/ZSK machine file formats.

 

Affected ES version: ES e4.5

 

SOLUTION:

By default, ZSK TC machine format is limited to 15 colors, but actually the *.Z00 file format itself actually supports up to 32, so if the customer really wanted to use up to 32, they could just change it in machine format values.

 

STEPS:


- Design >Select Machine Format
- Choose "ZSK TC" from Available machine formats
- Click "Settings..." button
- Change "No. of needles" from 15 to 32
- Press Save
- Export the design to ZSK TC (*.Z??)

 


It will now export all colors up to #32. But they'd need to make sure their ZSK machine can read it.

Alternatively, they could just use colors #1...#15 and it will export correctly without having to change machine format values.
