versaworks overprint

[KForceOH]

Hello all new here to the site. I was wondering if its possible to do an overcut with versaworks. Not sure if thats the right terms but it seems that when cutting (SP540) it leaves a touch of material at the end point of the cut line. I want it to cut a bit past the end point.

hmmm, i do not believe so, not to my knowledge... i'll look further into it.... i've never thought twice about it so maybe I just havent noticed. Good Question

Thanks for the reply, I have looked all over versaworks but see nothing except an overprint nothing about overcut. When cutting small text its a PAIN to weed because of the leftover material ala hanging chad style lol. If it would just cut 2mm past the endpoint that would solve a lot of frustration. Didn't know if maybe I could do something different in Illy or not.

And thanks for the warm welcome

if its not cutting all of the way, it's probably the offset or encoder strip. I know you can cut it more than once though.

Just change the offset in the Cut section. We normally leave it at .250mm, but move it to .30mm or even .350mm when doing really small text.

Ok so offset controls start and end points. I had always been setting my offset to 0.000 because I thought it was offset left and right. I'll give that a shot.
