When printing from third-party
software graphic applications
like CorelDraw or Illustrator, the
queue can be set to interpret line
art (of a specific RGB or CMYK
color) as being cutting path
information. For example, cut-
ting paths could be designated to
be CMYK colors of 100% cyan,
100% magenta, 100% yellow, and
100% black. is color (100%
CMYK Black) would be excellent
because it is a color that is usually
avoided in print jobs.
It is not possible to interpret color
within a bitmap object as being
cutting information. However, a
bitmap can be imported into a vector-based graphics software application, and then a vector line
(in the cutting color) can be drawn about the bitmap.
When specifying the color (RGB or CMYK) that will represent cutting lines in the job, choose
a color that is not otherwise used in the original artwork. is color may then be added as an
outline around the artwork, which will be cut after the illustration is printed. e cutting color
itself is not printed.
