Tech Tip: Supersize and Contour Cut Your Image in Color Byte

August 20, 2013Dev SupportDcs Tips

Is the low resolution of your image getting in the way of producing a quality print? Use Direct Color Systems' Color Byte software to supersize and contour cut the image. The result will be a higher-resolution vector image that you'll be proud to present to your customers.

Additionally, use the contour cutting capabilities of DCS' Color Byte software and a commercial cutter such as Graphtec's RoboPRO to create the intricate designs that customers desire.

  1. Choose the Contour Cut tool
  2. Choose your settings
  3. Send to the printer

 

The software does the rest, finding your image and creating a perfect cut path. With Color Byte's software, you can create the cutting path you want. The software can set the bleed amount, adjust the offset for full-bleed designs, and create an inside/outside path for lettering or more intricate designs. See the video below for more details.
