The Graphtek 5000-60 is a reliable piece of equipment that professionals and enthusiasts alike use for precision cutting tasks. Yet, like all tech devices, users occasionally come across challenges. One such challenge involves the plotter not cutting a border around the art. The art is cut seamlessly, but the absence of a border makes it a tad difficult to peel off the artwork.
Potential Cause of the Issue
When you face such a challenge, the first place to investigate is the cut dialog box. This is where the user sets the commands for the plotter to execute, and a misconfigured setting can lead to incomplete tasks.
How-To Address the Border Cutting Challenge
To ensure that the Graphtek 5000-60 Plotter cuts the border around your artwork:
- Access the Cut Dialog Box: Before sending your job to the cutter, open the cut dialog box associated with your plotting software.
- Navigate to the Appropriate Tabs: Inside the dialog box, there are multiple tabs, each governing different functionalities of the plotter. One of these tabs includes settings for borders.
- Adjust Border Settings: Ensure that the option for cutting a border is selected or enabled. If it isn’t, activate it. This will command the plotter to cut around the artwork, creating a border that makes peeling easy.
- Run a Test Cut: Before proceeding with your main artwork, always run a test cut. This will give you assurance that the settings have been adjusted correctly.
- Troubleshooting: If you still encounter issues, consider consulting the Graphtek 5000-60 manual or reaching out to customer support for specialized assistance.
