Cutting Plotter Software
There are different types of cutting plotter software is developed for printing pattern marker. HPGL is the best driver to plotters correction of garments patterns and markers. Cutting plotter software has moving direction of the plotters nozzles correct. Output the width correction graphic file and measure the output line length in mm with the accuracy to 0.1mm. Subtract the standard length of 1,000mm and enter the result together with the sign into the width correction box.
If the measured value is less than the standard length of 1,000mm, enter a negative number, otherwise, a positive number (“+” sign can be omitted) into the box. See the Figurer below:
Ploter Correction in Length:
It is types of paper-feeding direction. Output the length correction graph and measure the output line length in the paper-feeding direction in mm with the accuracy to 0.1mm of ploter. Subtract the standard length of 1,000mm and enter the result together with the sign into the length correction box. If the measured value is less than the standard length of 1,000mm, enter a negative number, otherwise, a positive number (“+” sign can be omitted) into the box. See the Figure below:
The above two corrections should be made after the rectification of butt jointing, misplacement and nozzle clearance.
Ploter Correction in Butt Joint:
Output a test graph first by hpgl driver 70. If the case as shown below appears between two adjacent scans, enter a positive number (“+” sign can be omitted) in the butt-joint correction box in mm with the accuracy to 0.1mm. The value can be an approximate visual value (usually within 0.50mm) which should be accurate enough to avoid overlaps and gaps. The test image should be long enough to satisfy the accuracy requirement.
If the case as shown below appears between two adjacent scans of ploter, enter a negative number in the butt-joint correction box in mm with the accuracy to 0.1mm. The value can be an approximate visual value (usually within 0.50mm) which should be accurate enough to avoid overlaps and gaps. The test image should be long enough to satisfy the accuracy requirement.
This correction should take it as a reference to make the accuracy meet the requirement in the X direction (paper-feeding direction) on the test graph.
Plotter Misplacement Correction by free cad Software:
Output a test graph first. If the case as shown below appears between two adjacent scans, enter a positive number (“+” sign can be omitted) in the misplacement correction box in mm with the accuracy to 0.1mm. The value can be an approximate visual value (usually within 0.25mm) which should be accurate enough to make the lines basically straight by free cad software.
If the case as shown below appears between two adjacent scans, enter a negative number in the misplacement correction box in mm with the accuracy to 0.1mm. The value can be an approximate visual value (usually within 0.25mm) which should be accurate enough to make the lines basically straight.
Adjustment by Hpgl Plotter Software in between the Nozzles:
When you install or pull out the nozzles, you may need to make adjustment in HPGL.ini file of hpgl2 software when a coupling problem or misplacement happens.
First, output a test graph. If the case as shown below appears, increase the Nozzle_distance_y value in HPGL2.ini file of hpgl2 software. This value should always be an integer less than 150 at the largest.
If the case as shown below appears, decrease the Nozzle_distance_y value. This value should always be an integer not less than 135 at least.
If the case as shown below appears, increase the Nozzle_distance_x value in HPGL2.ini file of hpgl plotter software. This value should always be an integer less than 75 at the largest.
If the case as shown below appears, decrease the Nozzle_distance_X value. This value should not be less than 70 at least.
Note: Before running the INKJET plotters save hpgl2.ini file of hpgl2 software after modification.
Plotters Correction by Cutter Plotter Software :
- Plotters correction of misplacement in between nozzles by print application software
- Plotters correction of joints in between nozzles.
- Plotters correction of misplacements in between two adjacent scans.
- Plotters correction of butt-joints in between two adjacent scans.
- Width correction by print application software
- Length correction print application software
- This software is used to print pattern maker file
For all the above-listed corrections, use the demo graphics files we provide and a precise ruler for the measurements. Click “Ok”to save the entry. It’s not necessary to make the adjustment very often to print the file of cutter plotter software. The best way is to make a backup record by print cutter plotter software
