4. While the image is still selected, click on the Cut menu and select Contour Cut
(see Part F of this section for information on PressPrintÕs Die Cut feature). The
Contour Cut Settings window appears.
5. Select to trace a cut line along the exact contour of your imageÕs outside
edge. Select to trace a cut line along the contour of both the outside and
inside edges of your image. In this case, the software will essentially attempt to
cut away anything it sees as white space. Then, enter the desired
Offset value
to specify how far you would like the cut line to be from the edge of the
colored portion of your image. Entering a value greater than 0 will cause the
cut line to be placed away from the colored portion of your image. Entering a
value less than 0 will cause the cut line to be placed within the colored portion
of your image. Entering an exact value of 0 will cause the cut line to be placed
on the very edge of where the colored portion of your image meets white
space.
6. Select
OK
to begin contouring your image. This process will take from just a
few seconds to a few minutes depending on the size and complexity of your
image. When the image is finished contouring, a dashed cut line will appear
around your image and both will be selected.
NOTE: If you imported a bitmap image, you may wish to select Show Bitmaps Outlines from the
View menu before proceeding. For more information on this option, see its explanation in
Part F of this section
