Use of the mark reader
Digital printers are easy to use but are very inaccurate as they have no reference point and the print can drift up and down the sheet
and shift from side to side and the image can stretch and shrink at random.
For a high accuracy job like card cutting the cut lines have to be very accurately positioned.
The mark reader will signal the machine to start cutting when the print is in view.
This may increase the apparent print position accuracy on the card as the total print deviates up and down the sheet at random.
Limitations of the mark reader
The mark reader will determine the correct position of the first cut and the relative positions of the follow on linear cuts.
It will not correct the following printer deviations
- Shrink
- Stretch
- Sideways shift
- Image skew
Possible apparent errors in image position when you run a job and ways to correct the cutting to suit.
- Always use a metal precision ruler to determine the error.
- First measure the card and the cross waste lengths.
- Usually they will be spot on if not reset the cut length fractionally using button nr 2.
