4.7.2 ValueCut series Print Driver setting > Pen Page
The ValueCut series incorporates the use of 16 different colors to represent 16 different
parameter settings including cutting speed, force and blade offset settings when cutting. These
colors are referred to as “Pens”. Think of each pen as a designated cutter setting, rather than as
a color. An image that is made up of black, red and blue colors will be processed using the
cutter settings designated for each particular color. In order to utilize up to 16 different pens
(cutter parameter settings), make sure your graphics software can recognize and utilizes the 16
pen colors designated by the ValueCut series print driver (please refer to figure 4-21).

If you would like to specify your own colors to designate to a particular cutter setting, then all
you have to do is to double-click on that particular pen color from the pen menu and a color
manager window will open where you can select “define custom colors” to define your own color
(shown in the picture below). This is useful when your image is composed of colors that are not
part of the pen menu’s default color selection, and instead of modifying your image, you simply
would like to assign the cutter settings based on the existing colors from your current image.
