Conditions for data that yields attractive cutting results
Boundaries between two colors should be sharp and well defined, with no continuous gradations. Using only the two
values of white and black is recommended.
(In general, a higher resolution yields outlining of greater accuracy. The optimal resolution varies according to a shape's complexity
and size when cut. However, it takes longer to import high-resolution data into Dr. STIKA PLUS than low-resolution data.)
The scan resolution should be high.
(In general, a higher resolution yields outlining of greater accuracy. The optimal resolution varies according to a shape's complexity
and size when cut. However, it takes longer to import high-resolution data into Dr. STIKA PLUS than low-resolution data.)
The size of the original art being scanned should be the same as the size when cutting.
(Results of cutting that are more attractive than the original art are not obtained when an image smaller than the cut image is im-
ported and then enlarged with Dr. STIKA PLUS. To help ensure attractive results of cutting, start with a larger object and reduce it to
the desired size.)
For details, please refer to the help screens for Dr. STIKA PLUS.
