 Cutting rhinestone template material where a second pass results in much cleaner weeding of the cut
circles.

2.06 Blade Offset

o
o
 The recommended Blade Offset for most cutting with the 45 red capped blade is 0.25. For the 60 blue
capped and fabric blade, use 0.75. When drawing with a pen or engraving, set the Blade Offset to 0. This
setting is found in the settings control window:

Blade Offset can be changed
by checking this box and then
entering a new value.

 If you use other brands of blade holders, you may need to experiment with the Blade Offset setting. In
general, an offset of 0.30 is a good starting point for testing. Refer back to Section 2.01 to note what
happens when the setting is too high or too low.

2.07 Cut Type

 There are three modes in controlling where images will cut to the KNK. They are called:
 Knife Point: Moves the shapes to cut at the origin you have set on the cutter itself. Use the blade tip to
set the origin for cutting.
 WYSIWYG: Cuts the shapes where they are positioned on the Virtual Mat. Use the laser light to set the
origin- either at the corner of the cutting mat or the corner of the material (as described later in this
section). Note: to turn on laser, press the Origin button while in Online mode.
 Print and Cut: Cuts shapes relative to registration marks printed on your printer. Refer to Chapter 9 for
complete instructions on the print and cut process.

mode to be used

Knife Point

 This is the mode recommended for most applications as it economizes the use of your cutting materials.
 Shapes can be located anywhere on the screen, including outside the Virtual Mat. The shapes will be
moved and cut to where you set the origin on the material. The origin is set using the position of the blade
tip.
 When more than one shape will be cut, the shape closest to the origin will be cut at the origin and any other
shapes will be cut the distance and direction from that shape as positioned on the screen. The following
figures show examples of where images will cut. Note that it doesn’t matter whether you choose Portrait or
Landscape modes for the Virtual Mat. The shapes will cut in the same relative locations on the material.
Use the arrow on the Virtual Mat as a guide to the direction to insert the actual mat or material into your
KNK.
