Offset
Note
If the active tool is a pen tool, then the Offset button is disabled.

One of the most important factors to obtain good quality, is the offset. As you can see in the
figure below, the knife offset (1) is the distance between the knife centre and the knife tip.
Accurate measurement of the used offset is very difficult and requires specialized equipment.
You should therefore adjust the offset (1) by checking real cutting results on the media you
will use. Mutoh helps you doing this by way of a semi-automatic offset adjustment routine,
integrated into your cutter.
When a pen is loaded, no offset is necessary as the pen point is in the centre of the pen head.
When loading a drag knife, the pen tip is not in the centre of the pen head and an offset is
necessary.
