3-2 ADVISED PLACES FOR CONTOUR PLACEMENT
3.1.1.1 Contour cutting
Define the line that needs to be cut as a special color that the RIP recognizes as an object to
be cut.
NOTE:
When using Summa Color Control (see section 6.3) it is advised to use the
spot color palette and the spot color CONTOUR.
Summa Color control will first print the other objects. Afterwards the objects
which have as color CONTOUR will be cut automatically.
Send the job with the RIP to the DC5(sx).
NOTE:
There is a relative large distance between the rear sensor and the place
where the cutting head cuts. This means that the last 30 cm on a roll cannot be
used for print and cut jobs. However it is not recommended to print until the last
couple of centimeters of a roll because the end of the roll does not have the
same quality as the rest of the roll, this is one of the reasons why rolls of printing
vinyl are actually longer then mentioned on the box.
