i-cut cutter
i-cut marks enable you to save to file complex, irregular cutting paths that have been defined
in any popular graphics program. i-cut marks act as an orientation guide for a built-in or
auxilliary cutter, or for a print-and-cut plotter.
Fiery XF supports i-cut marks level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 5. I-cut marks level 4
(barcodes) are not supported.

• i-cut level 1 converts the bounding box into a rectangular cut path.
The i-cut marks define the position of the substrate on the table. They are automatically
placed around the job. You can adjust the position of the cut marks by editing the bleed
value. It is not possible to add, delete or change the position of individual marks.
• i-cut level 2 enables Fiery XF to extract and save to file i-cut marks, and complex, irregular
cut contours from EPS and PDF jobs.
• i-cut level 3 enables i-cut layer names to be extracted from EPS and PDF jobs.
• i-cut level 5 enables the insertion of i-cut register marks inside bounding boxes.
