Chapter 3 Cutting Data with Register Marks
81
Register Mark Size
The recommended register mark size (A) is within the range of A4 size (210 mm x 297 mm) to A3 size (297
mm x 420 mm). This reduces wasted margins and enables designs to be laid out efficiently. If the
dimensions exceed A3, the machine may fail to detect register marks due to sheet feeding problems (e.g.,
sheet meandering).
Standards for Register Mark Length and Line Width
C: Line width:
0.5 to 2.0 mm
A: Size
B: Length
A: Size
B: Length
B: Length:
4 to 40 mm
The recommended register mark length and line width are as shown below. The machine may fail to detect
register marks that lie outside the recommended range.
As a guide, the register mark length should be at least ten times the line width.
Register mark size (A) Register mark length (B) Register mark line width (C)
200 mm or less 4 mm or more 0.5 mm
201 to 500 mm 8 mm or more
501 to 1000 mm 15 mm or more 1.0 mm
1,001 to 2000 mm 25 mm or more
2,001 mm or more 35 to 40 mm
• If the "Fill around the register mark" function of the Mimaki cutting software is enabled, the register mark
length (B) should be 10 mm or more.
When Printing Register Marks Continuously
The register mark length (B) should be 8 mm or more. The machine may fail to detect register marks less
than 8 mm if it reads them continuously.
