Important menu options

Due to the enormous demand of having a single sticker format during your alignment measurement, a single and multi tool method for Cut Through tasks have been created.

Basically, 4 cut through parameters are required:

Cut through speed > VS commandCut through force > ZF command Tool down & tool up distance > UL & LT command

Vector order - summary

First: standard cut linesSecond: print & cut linesThird: pounce linesFourth: cut through lines

Cut through specifications:

reduce your speed, increase your force, use all pressure rollers, lower your cut through media width dimension, choose your in between margins for cut through stickers sufficient enough, minimal vinyl movement + plot order important (first → contour data, second → cut through data), 0° orientation, VS/ZF/AS menu = accept (new header per line type), easy cut through shapes (rectangles, circles, squares), NO multi-frame alignment systems advised (multi-segment), NO repeat mode recommend

For cut through reasons, it is better to have this dashing technique (intermittent plotting via the LT, UL commands) configured at the end of your vector data group. The sorting routine of your software should therefore automatically configure these vector paths at the end of your file output.

Cut Through compatible alignments are:

Two cut through methods can be applied: Method 1 – with one single tool Method 2 – multiple tools → tool 1: P&C lines

→ tool 2: cut through lines

This single tool method will complete both contour and cut through data with one single knife holder

Glue

Vinyl

standard holder = cut through holder

Cutting matSilicon Paper

Drag knife settings:

Standard knife depth → cutting mat(= cut through depth)

- contour lines: 110g - 60 cm/s- cut through lines: 250g - 10 cm/s

What to do?KONA menu option → Settings 3/4 - Swap Alert = single / multi tool (similar plot file – menu option decides its cut through method).

Example: Plot file with SP2 included (SP = Select Pen)A message on panel will inform the user to swap tools accordingly (based on the SP parameter included)

Please insert the Continue inThrough Cut tool and confirm OR Single tool mode Put the lever up to cancel

Summary:SP1 = DEFAULT cut tool (preset) – print and cut vector pathsSP2 = THROUGH CUT tool (preset) – cut through vector paths SP3..8 = tool 3..8
