Conserving Vinyl and Foil
Saving vinyl by positioning the job when printing
Positioning a job on the vinyl can minimize waste when printing. You can precisely locate
several jobs to maximize vinyl usage by returning to the registration target after printing and
entering a new start position.
Entering a Printer X value prints the target and moves the print position the specified distance
along the X axis. Entering a Printer Y value moves the print position the specified distance
along the Y axis.
Note: PrePosition Printer X and Y are not available when printing a job with panels.
CAUTION: When printing multiple jobs on the same piece of vinyl, print all the
jobs first, and then cut the jobs. Running cut vinyl through a printer a second time
will cause damage.
