Print and cut alignement

[derek longhaven]

quote Martin Oxenham:

Any ideas on this Just done a job for a truck door Lettering with 3d effect.
Printed, laminated, put back in machine and cut. Out of four lines of lettering three are spot on and the third is off by about 2mm.
Have had this before when doing multiples. We do all the usual, check prints are straight to machine and run an environmental check.
Everything seems fine but some are spot on and others not.

Did you try the cut alignment one? we just use auto, it prints a block of black then scans it, our works fine after that.

if these were all done on one sheet then the chances are the vinyl moved during cutting – use all 4 rollers and perhaps a new blade to lower the pressure required.

on the sc540 there are 2 head to knife adjustments
1 knife to print head for normal print and cut
2 knife to alignment markers for print laminate realignment and cut
