SECTION 11: OPTIONAL FEATURES
Setting Up the File for Vector Cutting
Once we have our print file we need to add outlines to the registration
marks and add vector cutting lines over the print file.
1. Select the Registration Marks (Fiducials): First, select each of the
registration marks and give them a RGB outline color that will match
one of the six basic colors available in the Color Mapping section of
the driver (red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, magenta). In this example we
used the color green. For more information on the colors available, see
"Color Mapping" on page 97.
Make sure you do not print these cutting lines on your
printed item. These lines are only used with the laser!
2. Create your vector lines and give them a separate color to be color
mapped. In this example we used red for our cut lines and blue for our
score lines. If you have different lines you would like to cut with
different speeds and/or powers, give each of the lines a different RGB
color.
All vector cut lines and registration mark outlines must use
RGB values.
3. By placing your vector lines and printed items on different layers, you can quickly turn off the printed layer in the
Object Manager so you can more easily print only the vector lines to the laser.
4. When you have your vector file prepared, choose File > Print. Go to Preferences and set your laser parameters,
making sure that Send to Manager is checked.
5. For eView Camera jobs you must use Color Mapping. In the Color Mapping Tab, set your laser parameters for your
cut lines. For instructions on setting Color Mapping settings, see "Color Mapping" on page 97 in your manual.
6. You do not need to change the settings for the color you have assigned to the registration marks (green in this
example) because they will not be processed as vectors. They are used only to identify which circles are registration
marks.
