2. Creating print data

Procedure
  1. Create the print data using application software for creating drawings.
    MEMO: Set the Document Color Mode to RGB. The color (RGB value) specified as the cutting line may change because CMYK is converted to RGB when outputting in CMYK mode.

    In this case, it may not be possible to perform cutting because the color specified for the driver as the cutting line and the color output from the application software differ.

  2. Specify the RGB value set for the part to be identified as the cutting line in step 1. - 4.
    If the color for the part you want to print and the color set in step 1. - 4 overlap, redo the settings from step 1. - 4.
  3. Specify the line width for cutting lines as follows.
    MEMO: It may not be possible to cut lines of the specified width.
