Print tab
Mark section
The cut marks are the little horizontal dashes located on the image line.
Left / Right
Print cut marks on the left and/or right. Here are some examples of how it can be used:
| Left Marks enabled | Right Marks enabled |
| Both Left and Right Marks enabled | |
Info
In the previous example, there was not enough space to add a second mark in the line with three images, so the images had to be nested only in pairs and rearranged into three lines.
Cut mark width
It defines the horizontal space taken by the cut marks and their length. It is 15 mm minimum.
Cut mark height
Define the thickness of the cut marks. It is at least 5 mm.
Space between mark and image
It defines the minimal distance between the mark and the image. It is 5 mm minimum.
Print Tracking line
This option allows you to print a simple, continuous line on the left or the right of the block of printed images. It is meant to be used with X/Y cutters equipped with a sensor, and whose role is to adjust the vertical blades to correct the deformation of the media.
| Tracking line activated | Tracking line deactivated |
Tracking line width
It defines the thickness of the tracking line. It is 5 mm minimum.
Print stopmark
This option is enabled by default. You can disable it if you are using Row Cut; however, for all other purposes, we recommend keeping it enabled.
Other settings
Space between images (Horizontal and Vertical)
These fields allow you to define the space between the images on the same line (horizontal) and the same column (vertical). Indeed, when the lines are full, no cutting line is added between them.
Info
The previous is an example of two full lines being used: horizontal space = 4 mm and vertical space = 12 mm.
Add positioning lines for slitters
This option allows you to add marks on the job, specifically for positioning the slitters.
Max number of elements on a row
It limits the maximal number of images that can be placed on a line, even if there is still space on the media.
Cutter tab
In this tab, you can save various cutter models and add their width.
