Accurately Adjusting The Cutting-In Amount - Roland TrueVIS MG-640 User Manual

Accurately Adjusting the Cutting-in Amount

When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting
media with thin backing paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the amount of blade extension.
Turn the cap portion of the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension. Each indicator tick cor-
responds to 0.1 mm (3.9 mil), and adjustment for 0.5 mm (19.7 mil) can be made by rotating the cap one
full turn.
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the tip of the blade holder cap to
touch the printed surface, soiling and damaging it. It is important to be especially careful about this when
you are using media that has poor ink-adhesion properties.
The amount of blade extension ( ) is 0 mm ( ) at minimum and 2.5 mm (98.4 mil) ( ) at maximum.
Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension (When Creating a Sticker)
Set the amount of blade extension ( ) to an amount that is the sum of the thickness of the material por-
tion ( ) and half ( ) the thickness of the backing paper ( ).
Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension (When Cutting Perforated Lines)
Set the amount of blade extension ( ) so that when the cutter pierces the media ( ), the blade extends
slightly.
For information about the output settings for cutting perforated lines, refer to the documentation for Ver-
saWorks.
