Adding an Overlap Width for Tiled Printing

When dividing a large job for printing (tiled printing), add an overlap width to the divided part (tile).
Norishiro-description_BC
The position for adding overlap (A) can be set individually from top, bottom, left, or right. Specify whether to print the overlap line (B). If printing, specify the stroke width and color. Trim marks (C) are added to the left and right of the overlap.

  • Specify the position for adding overlap in Position.
  • Specify the overlap width between 0.5 and 100 mm (0.02 and 3.93 in.) in Size (D).
BOverlap line
  • Overlap is added when Print Overlap Lines is selected.
  • Specify the overlap line width between 0.1 and 0.5 mm (3.94 and 19.68 mil) in Thickness.
  • Specify the overlap line color in Color Settings.

This section explains how to configure the settings for jobs, not queue folders.

Procedure
  1. Use one of the methods below to open the Settings window.
    • Double-click the job to set.
    • Right-click the job to set, and then click Edit Design - Settings.
    • With a job selected, click VW7_JobMenu1 on the left side of the job tool area, and then click VW7_Customize Settings.
  2. Click VW7_CripandTile Clip and Tile.
  3. Follow Tiling an Image to divide the image into tiles.
  4. Specify the overlap position in Position under Overlap.

    • When applying from lower right

      Creates overlap widths at the top and left of tiles. Set this when applying the lower-right (yellow) panel first, followed by the remaining three panels.

    • When no application order is determined

      Sets overlap on all four sides. Application can be started from any tile.

    • When applying to two panels

      Sets overlap from the bottom. Set this when overlap is required only vertically, not horizontally.

    • Size

      Specifies the overlap width.

    • Print Overlap Lines

    • Thickness

      When printing overlap lines, specify the overlap line width.

    • Color Settings

      When printing overlap lines, specify the overlap line color using the value of CMYK or RGB.

  6. When printing trim marks, specify Cut Line Length.
    When trim marks are not necessary, specify 0 mm (0 in.).
  7. Click OK.
    You are returned to the main window.
