The Color & Cut system is equipped with a plotter cutter, which means zthe system can:

Cut out objects that you have designated as a Cut out Object on the Insert Object screen. The cutter cuts out the actual shape of the object.

Important! Objects cannot be both print objects and cut out objects at the same time. See Adding cut out objects on

zpage 10-4 for details.

Cut out around a cut bounding box you can create for some print objects. A cut bounding box is a border you can set around objects that you want to print AND cut. See To apply a cut bounding box to an object on page 10-9 for instructions.

Cut out around a frame you add to a label. See To cut around a

zlabel frame on page 10-10 for instructions.

Perform weeding on cut out objects. See To perform text weeding on page 10-6.
