3.06.1 Tweaking the Calibration Values
•
If you find your print and cut results are slightly off in the same direction with each cut, you can adjust the
values being used versus attempting to recalibrate from scratch.
•
To do this, go back to an easy-to-cut material like copy paper and use a shape that has both horizontal and
vertical lines. This makes it easier to know if you need to adjust in the
X
(left-to-right) direction or in the
Y
(up-and-down) direction. The arrow from SignMaster
’s
General Power Shapes
is a good choice
because you need both vertical and horizontal lines for measurement.
•
After performing the print and cut, use a mm ruler to measure how far away the cut lines are from the
printed lines. If you used an arrow, focus only on the horizontal and vertical lines, not the diagonal lines:
In this example, let’s say the red cut line is about 0.5 mm too high and about 0.3 mm too far to the left.
Thus, you need the cut line to move down and to the right.
