Contour cutting with a D60

In flexi you can pick what type of registration marks are printed. You use the manual registration marks witch are marked 1,2,3, and 4. Flexi will ask if you want the manually want to set the marks, and after clicking yes, you move the kinfe from mark to mark clicking Ok after each. It takes about 90 sec to do, its not to hard. Save you money and keep your D60. If you do need a new cutter sometime down the road, get the graphtec! Soild cutter..

 

Ok that is through the software, but how do you align the printed graphic on your D60 / Panther Pro so that it cuts correctly and not through the graphic? I too would like to know so I could save money on another cutter and just go straight to say a Mutoh Falcon Jr.

 

In Illustrator you make you contour and set it on a different layer with reg marks.

 

Ok I understand the software end, the contour layer is what you send to your plotter. However say the printed graphic is 5"x5" on a sheet of 10"x10" how do you align the printed film on your plotter so that the contour is not off centered? If the film is not exact, the contour could cut through the printed part. This is where the registration sensor comes into play to automatically align it correctly no matter where the film is load on the plotter. Thanks and sorry.
