10.12.1 Selecting the Tool (Cutting/Creasing/Ignore)
The tool to be used is shown
12b
(in this case the radio button for
cut
is selected). You
can choose between the
Cutting Tool
(the Tool positioned closest to the Carriage
Beam on the Tool Carriage), the
Creasing Tool
(the Tool positioned furthest from on
the Tool Carriage). Or you can choose to
Ignore
the line for cutting.
The Ignore feature is useful if you realise that your cut file includes some lines you
did not intend to cut or crease. (All other features such as speed or force will also be
ignored if you select Ignore ).
10.12.2 Selecting the Double Pass Feature
The Double Pass function
12c
enables you to enhance the cut or crease function,
by effectively repeating the process selected. This can be useful for creasing (when
pressure can not be increased further) as Double Pass will cause the ColorCut Pro
software to crease the lines twice therefore providing a stronger crease.
However it can also be useful for some cutting applications on particularly soft
media, such as Rice Paper for foodstuffs. A Double Pass here will often provide a
cleaner cut.
10.12.3 Selecting the Line Style of the Cut or Creasing Tool
The parameter Line Style
12d
controls the type of line that will be cut or creased.
By default this is a SOLID line. However, you
can change the line style to a Dashed Line for
a perforated cut.
Changing the Line Style will update the preview
in the Job Preview Window (if the Material Type
is assigned to one of the Line Colors in the job
preview) so you can see the Line change to a
dashed line.
You can set the distance of the knife down (cut) and the knife up (gap) so
this feature can also be used to create tags to hold elements in the sheet.
