Chapter 4 Setup
The size of, and the distance between,
registration marks
The size (B) of a registration mark suited for the distance
(A) between the marks is as shown below. If the mark size
(B) is too small relative to the distance (A), the marks may
not be detected correctly. Be sure to prepare the
registration marks with an appropriate size.
(mm)
Distance between registration marks
for copied designs
For Type 1 registration marks, the distance between the
marks must be not shorter than two times the mark length
and not longer than 1000 mm. For Type 2 registration
marks, the distance between the marks must be not
shorter than the mark length and not longer than 1000
mm.
Recommended size of the area defined
with a set of four registration marks
It is recommended that the size of the area defined with a
set of four registration marks is in the range of A4 size
(210 mm x 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm x 420 mm). If you
follow this recommendation, you can minimize wasteful
spaces and arrange the designs efficiently.
In case of perform printing a
registration mark continuously
When perform printing a registration mark continuously,
set the one side of the registration marksize to 8mm. In
case 8mm or shorter registration mark recognized
continuously, may cause the glitches on the main unit.
Color of mark
The mark must be printed in black against the white
background.
The registration mark will not be detected correctly if the
background is not white or the mark is not black.
