Features
When producing many custom jobs of different sizes on a roll printer, automate your trimming workflow using the ASP (Automatic Slicer Positioning) functionality of the Fotoba XLA 170. Reduce manual processes while guaranteeing maximum cutting speed, flexibility and precision.
Update of the Pantone Fashion and Home Interior Spot Colors library with 315 new color references further expand fashion and home décor printing possibilities, while enhancing the accurate reproduction of colors.
Within the Caldera Spooler and CalderaJobs, open a preview in full screen and zoom in to easily identify the jobs inside the nest and check the marks before printing to avoid unwanted errors and waste.
To ease the production process of large-format projects such as vehicle wrapping, when creating a poster or another project within the Tiling+ module, you can now select to start printing from bottom-right for more flexibility and to help save valuable time on-site.
Improve cutting on non-white media by adding white under and around the marks.
- Wide Contour Offset:
Benefit from an increased range of Cut Contour offsets (from [-10mm, +10mm] to [-100mm, +100mm]). This feature greatly improves the accuracy of the cutting process on shrinking or distorting textile substrates.
