Cut compensation.
Sometimes you can see an unprinted vertical line in the text on the marker. This is
common on almost all thermo transfer printers.
The reason why the unprinted line appears is that the needles in the thermo transfer
head cools off when the machine is cutting. When the machine starts feeding the pro-
file again, the needles doesn't have the right temperature to transfer the ribbon onto
the profile.
To avoid this vertical line you can check the box for cut compensation. WinSign will
then calculate so it knows the position of the printing head when the marker is cut. The
software will adjust the spacing between the characters so that the unprinted vertical
line is positioned between two characters.
