Abstract
A method is provided. The method includes printing a target on a medium and defining at least one intended cutting line on the medium. The target includes at least one graphical element which defines at least one reference distance measure. The target is centered at the intended cutting line or has a defined distance to the intended cutting line.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- defining at least one intended cutting line on a medium,
- defining a target,
- controlling a print engine to print the target on the medium, and
- wherein the target comprises at least one graphical element which defines at least one reference distance measure and wherein the target is centered at the intended cutting line or is positioned at a defined distance from the intended cutting line.
A method of optically assessing the accuracy of cutting a medium along an intended cutting line, wherein a target is printed on the medium and wherein the target comprises at least one graphical element which defines at least one reference distance measure and wherein the target is centered at the intended cutting line or is positioned at a defined distance from the intended cutting line.
A non-transitory machine readable medium, stored thereon machine-readable instructions, which, when executed, cause a system to:
- print a target on a medium according to target information, and
- cut the medium according to cutting information, wherein the cutting information defines an intended cutting line, along which the medium is intended to be cut, and wherein
- the target comprises at least one graphical element which defines at least one reference distance measure and
- is centered at the intended cutting line or is positioned at a defined distance from the intended cutting line.
