Fotoba Cutmarks

Fotoba Cutmarks

Fotoba Cut Marks are marks printed together with an image to facilitate cutting on Fotoba Cut Devices. The marks are detected by the cutter to determine the position of the image and where to cut. The Fotoba Cutmarks appear as a double line around the images in a job. Adding the Fotoba Cut Mark Element to a Job will cause the Fotoba Cut marks to be printed around every image, enabling later cutting with Fotoba Devices.

To use Fotoba Cutmarks insert the <PrintMarks> tag and all relevant parameters at the beginning of the job.

Format:
<PrintMarks></PrintMarks>
