Why not just set the plotter up to cross cut between each set of reg marks?
Or does it not do that? I've always unchecked crosscut due to the luck of loosing reg marks, but I'd imagine with a 2.5" spacing between reg marks, you could crosscut with 0 advance?
I've never tried that option. I usually set the graphtec up once... Max roller width, then even if I'm loading 30" or 48" material the plotter thinks it's 54... Easier to read marks right on the edge that way. Then when you cross cut it'll cut in the mid of 54.... Which causes it to jam when your actually cutting a 30" roll. It's a bad habit... But it speeds up production.
Plus I print my next set of marks with only.5" spacing. I imagine it'll cut too close and no be able to read the next set.
We do a lot of labels for a specific company. They order them in batches of 500.... So it could be 5000, or 50,000. So we set up about 1000 up which is 5-8 ft of material using cutting master. Then we print that xx times... Can print a whole roll of different sized decals / quantities that way, much easier than using onyx or flexi.
Not sure how the 9000 is with the bar code reading... Hopefully I can do it the same with with cm4 marks, not have to deal with onyx.
