Question - Crop Marks, etc.

[tggsigns]

Hi got a question regarding proper crop marks.

Design program used - Corel 2024
Printer - Roland SG300
RIP software - Versaworks 6

This is a no brainer to print and cut on the Roland SG300. But we recently acquired a used Mutoh VC1300 cutter with Flexi Program Manager.

Question - When printing on the Roland, what crop mark should I select that will be compatible to what the Mutoh will recognize?

did you load the cutter and printer onto the flexi program? it should populate the type of crop marks it will accept.

Thanks for the response. Only the Mutoh cutter is installed on the Flexi PM. Roland printer is still using Versaworks. Would like to keep it that way.

Mutoh 4 position marks in Flexi. Set up your prints and bleeds, then add your contour cuts. Make sure the contour cuts are not grouped with the printed pieces as sometimes they will not be seen. select what you intend to print and cut and at the top the Contour Cut Mark button should become available (looks like 4 crop marks surrounding a small green square), click that and click the green check mark in the dialog box to create the marks the Mutoh can read. You may need Flexi 19 or newer - some older versions do not give you the option of Contour Cut Marks.
