Configuring Pagemarks For Maximum Cut Accuracy - Intec ColorCut SC5000 Series User Manual

6.2.1 Configuring PageMARKs for maximum cut accuracy.

For designs or elements requiring the highest cut accuracy, it is recommended
that the ALL PageMARKs are placed in a position that enables the MAIN grip roller
to retain grip of the sheet during the registration process. If the design includes
PageMARKs placed close to the trailing edge of the sheet then only the 'Slave' grip
rollers will hold the sheet when it is advanced to scan the trailing edge PageMARKS.
This may affect the overall registration of the sheet and all cut lines on the sheet.
Therefore, the recommended margins for the highest cut accuracy are shown below.

registration scale and skew are calculated.
lead edge, delivering the highest degree of accuracy for all elements within the main
cutting area. However, it is also possible to cut outside the cut mark perimeter.
Therefore, while the rear PageMARKS are set at 20mm from the rear edge of the
sheet, you can design and cut elements up to 10mm from the rear of the sheet using
the dual grip roller system.
Note: Any element in the last 20mm of the cutter area will have fractionally reduced
cut accuracy due to only the slave roller retaining the sheet during cutting. In most
cases this reduction in accuracy will not be noticeable.
