GCC Jaguar V cutters

Supported models

The Jaguar V series of vinyl cutting plotters include: The Jaguar V models (J5-61, J5-101, J5-160, and J5-132) And Jaguar V LX models (J5-61LX, J5-101LX, J5-132LX, J5-160LX, and J5-183LX) Depending on the model, the max. cutting width goes from 610 mm (24 in.) to 1600 mm (63 in.)

Driver

• GCC Jaguar V

Driver history

• CalderaRIP V18:
  • The user experience has been improved by limiting the values of Marks Placement in the Cutter Tools Configuration. The size of horizontal or vertical marks now ranges from 10 to 50 mm, while the thickness ranges from 1 to 2 mm, thus preventing you from using values outside the limits.
• CalderaRIP V17.3:
  • A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration for almost all cutting drivers (both GrandCut and VisualCut). Activating this new field adds direction marks in the form of a triangle pointing to the bottom edge of the cut job, which significantly speeds up the operators' work when managing these files.

• CalderaRIP V7.57:
  • Cutters supported since this version

Mark types

There are two types of marks. For each, the position where to put the tool differs.

The GCC Jaguar V plotters use Type 2 marks:

These marks are composed of two special corners that define orientation, although their utility might depend on the plotter model you have.

Tool positioning

• Single with marks: the tool must be positioned a few millimeters outside the bottom-right corner. Not too much because the detection range is small
• None

Detection

• In Single with marks mode, the bottom-right mark is detected first.
• GCC Jaguar V works with intermediate marks on all edges. Next, a preview of the Page Setup:

Paneling

This process is useful for cutting long jobs: instead of considering the whole job as a global zone, it divides the job into several cutting zones and will cut all shapes of a zone before moving to the next one.

This allows better accuracy by reducing tool movements. Intermediate marks are detected when needed for each cutting zone, further increasing accuracy.
