DRAWING CUT LINES, PERFORATED LINES OR CREASE LINES

The Intec ColorCut has 2 tools.
A Blade Tool, which can be used
to:
Contour-Cut shapes
Score lines
Perforate lines
When creating your projects you may wish to perform 2 or more actions with your
cutter. For example cutting a box and creasing the folds.
The easiest way to do this in your artwork is to use a different coloured line in your
design for the Crease lSine to the Cutting line. ColorCut Pro can recognise up to
8 pre-defined colored lines (detailed below) making it easier for you to design and
assign actions for each line.
If you created a job with 4 colored lines (For example; RED, YELLOW, BLUE, GREEN)
in the ColorCut software you could set the actions as follows :
RED to Cut using the Blade with full pressure
YELLOW to Score, using the Blade with half pressure
BLUE to Crease using the Creasing Tool, with full pressure.
and GREEN to Perforate, using a dashed line and the Blade with full pressure.
NOTE: The actions you select a Line Color to perform can be reassigned at any time,
and the order in which they are performed can be adjusted easily.
