Align The Printing And Cutting Positions - Roland CAMM JET CJ-70 User Manual

Align the Printing and Cutting Positions

Materials expand and contract in response to absorbed ink
and atmospheric humidity. The degree of size change
depends on the material, backing material, and ambient
temperature and humidity. In general, materials which absorb
moisture easily expand and contract more easily.
There is very little effect when only cutting or printing is
used, but if printing is followed by cutting, it is possible that
the cutting line may be offset from the printing line.
There are three ways to correct this offset.
1 CROP MARK
Material expansion/contraction before and after printing is corrected as it occurs. The offset value set for this method is deleted when
new data is sent, or the material removed. This method is suitable when temperature and humidity are unstable, or differing materials are
often used.
Corrections applying to all output should be set with "2 HEAD ADJUST" or "3 CALIBRATION".
