Which alignment method to use?

6.3.1

Automatic alignment method

Single frame alignment method

This is a fully-automated alignment system, with a barcode printed on the sign. This method
should be used in combination with Mutoh's CutServer.
This method can be used in case you are creating multiple different contour signs. It allows
you to make all your prints at once (overnight printing for example), and then load the roll with
images in the Kona / Kona apparel.
If each sign on the roll has a barcode and if all plot files are in the Mutoh CutServer, set the
amount of jobs and click on Go in the Mutoh CutServer and every sign on the roll will be cut,
without the need for user intervention (make sure you've enabled auto-sheet-off in EasySIGN
for each contour-sign).
The reason for the two barcodes is to make it possible for the Kona / Kona apparel to
auto-detect if the image is loaded upside-down or correctly. There is no need for you to
search the plot file for each image; the Kona / Kona apparel and the Mutoh CutServer will do
this fully-automatically, until the complete roll with signs is finished.
We do not recommend this method over 2 m job length, although there is no real limit to the
length that can be used.
Refer to the Kona / Kona apparel application guide for all details about Mutoh's
CutServer and the Print&Cut workflow.

Multi frame alignment method

The Mutoh Multi frame alignment method offers all advantages of the previous one but it will
split the image in multiple segments. This is to enhance precision over long length. This
method should be used in combination with Mutoh's CutServer. With this method, it is
possible to make signs of 10m or longer, and the Kona / Kona apparel will measure segment
per segment, and cut segment per segment. This method gives you more accuracy than the
previous method.
Refer to the Kona / Kona apparel application guide for all details about Mutoh's
CutServer and the Print&Cut workflow.
