Part 4: Contour Cutting

4-1 Contour Cutting

COLORIP can extract cutting paths from PostScript

jobs created in Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator and

QuarkXpress.

Paths created with a spot color name such as

"CutPath" will be shown as animated blue and white

dashed lines on COLORIP's preview screen. When

output to a print-and-cut inkjet device, the paths

shown will be cut. The figure shows artwork created

for a label using ordinary colors. The dashed blue

lines indicate where the "CutPath" spot color was

used. When this job is sent to a print-and-cut device,

the color image will be printed, then the knife will

cut out the label on the paths.

Activating Cut Path Processing

To activate processing of cut paths for a print-and-cut inkjet device, select [Options] from the main screen, then select

[Cutting]. Check the [Process Cutting Paths] box on the Cutting menu. If you're printing multiple images using the Auto

nesting or Manual Print Layout features, the cutting path will be correctly duplicated and registered for every copy.

The [Process Cutting Paths] tool is not just for print and cut applications. It can also be used with ordinary vinyl cutters

for such tasks as cutting lettering with complex paths.

Outline Jobs

Checking the [Outline Jobs] box on the [Cutting]

menu causes rectangular cutting paths to be gener-

ated at the edges of each image in a layout. This fea-

ture is useful for producing work such the photo-

graphic package job.
