Modifying the Seam Adjust setting

If you notice that a print has gaps or obvious overlaps between swipes, you can modify the
Seam Adjust setting. Any adjustments made to the settings are saved with the specific vinyl
family and are used with all subsequent jobs that use the same vinyl. Be sure to have the correct
vinyl loaded in the MAXX 2 when printing.
To assist you in determining the correct setting for Seam Adjust for a specific substrate (such as
225) you can print a Seam Adjust Sample. This print consists of process cyan blocks with five
different overlap settings: +4, +2, 0, -2, and –4. Print this sample and use it as a reference to
determine the optimal Seam Adjust setting for that substrate.
