The following details setting the parameters for Graphic Whizard 3.5X2 business cards on 12X18 stock.
We start by selecting the Mode (if not already selected). For the GW business cards, we select 3.50 X
2.00 24 up SRA3. Run test cuts to centre the stock on the slitters. Once that is complete, check the
image alignment for first cut and gutters.
Start with all parameters are set to zero. The image below shows the first cut of GW business cards with
first cut and gutter set to zero.
The above image shows the results of the first cut with parameters set to zero.
A close-up shot shows only 7 cards were cut. The 8
th
card ended up as waste. To fix this, we
will have to adjust the gutter.
Because we lost a row of cards as waste, we know we have to decrease the size of the gutter. We set
the gutter to -0.011 and ran another test.
This image shows the gutter variance. The first set of cards was cut with the gutter set to zero. The
second set was cut with the gutter set to -0.011 and the third shows the gutter set to -0.015. We use the
green line as the benchmark. -0.011 is near-perfect but -0.015 starts shifting the image in the opposite
direction, making the cut size too small.
