Hints – tips – recommendations
To use the automatic alignment procedure, the pre-printed sheet contains a reference box around the design
to be cut.
Note that the reference box around your design(s) will be printed. Before contour-cutting the EPOS
technology will search for the reference box and measure the position of the design(s).
Be sure that there is 5 mm of white space between the image and the reference box.
Be sure that the reference box has a dark colour (recommended: black) in order to have enough contrast
with the vinyl.
Make sure that the reference box fits within the margins of the maximum cutting width of your cutting
plotter.
Be sure that the media has been sheeted off straight. If not, the cutter will have problems
measuring the media.
Notes
The position of the design with the reference box compared to the page edges is defined in the print-
o
software.
The creation of an image should be done in a graphics application software (e.g. CorelDraw, Adobe
o
Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Freehand) or in origin software with design functionalities
(EasySIGN Power Pack Pro Mutoh Edition or Scanvec Amiable PhotoPRINT DX Mutoh Edition)
Do not forget to create the cutting line around your image. The default cutting line is a "magenta
o
hairline" or "spotcolor" with <CutContour> swatch name (in the CMYK pallet).
Thickness line = hairline (or 0.25)
Colour = 100% magenta
