Correcting the Misalignment of Printing and Cutting

This is a correction method performed when printing followed immediately by cutting yields positioning for print-

Print alignment marks, perform detection of the printed marks, and then correct the discrepancy. Subtle misalign-

We recommend that you make corrections to match the media you are using.
