a NEW material Type name (as described in
section 10.10 (
To edit Material Type/Action; select it's name from the list
in the Material Type Window
When a Material Type/Action is highlighted (in this
case you can see we have highlighted the material type
'Heavy Card' 10b ). The name of the selected Material
Type/Action 'Heavy Card' can be seen in the top of the
Editing Material Type: section
All parameters displayed in the section below combine to
create the profile for the Material Type "Heavy Card".
You can edit these values if required to adjust the profile to suit your requirements.

10.12.1 Selecting the Tool (Cutting/Creasing/Ignore)

The tool to be used is shown
can choose between the Cutting Tool (the Tool positioned closest to the Carriage
Beam on the Tool Carriage), the Creasing Tool (the Tool positioned furthest from on
the Tool Carriage). Or you can choose to Ignore the line for cutting.
The Ignore feature is useful if you realise that your cut file includes some lines you
did not intend to cut or crease. (All other features such as speed or force will also be
ignored if you select Ignore).

10.12.2 Selecting the Double Pass Feature

The Double Pass function
by effectively repeating the process selected. This can be useful for creasing (when
pressure can not be increased further) as Double Pass will cause the ColorCut Pro
software to crease the lines twice therefore providing a stronger crease.
However it can also be useful for some cutting applications on particularly soft
media, such as Rice Paper for foodstuffs. A Double Pass here will often provide a
cleaner cut.

10.12.3 Selecting the Line Style of the Cut or Creasing Tool

The parameter Line Style
By default this is a SOLID line. However, you
can change the line style to a Dashed Line for
a perforated cut.
Changing the Line Style will update the preview
in the Job Preview Window (if the Material Type
is assigned to one of the Line Colors in the job
preview) so you can see the Line change to a
dashed line.
You can set the distance of the knife down (cut) and the knife up (gap) so
this feature can also be used to create tags to hold elements in the sheet.
