How to use cleaning items with NUVIA

If there is a white margin on both ends of the card, you can reduce the difference in the following ways.

 

 

- The white margin decreases as the value of -X Start or X End approaches 0.

- Y as the number of offset decreases, the image goes down from the top of the Y side to the bottom

*Y Offset maximum range: 32

 

A too high or low image position can create wrinkle(s) on the edge(s).

- A low X value may cut the ribbon.

- X Start value is suggested to adjust only 1-2 points.

In other words, the closer to X Start or X End 0, the ribbon may break.

 

Default Value

X Start: 11-14

Y Start: 7-8

Y Offset: 15-18

 

Here is how to set the card margin:

 

 

 

1. Control tab -> Advanced Setting

2. When the 'Warning!!!' appears, click Confirm.

3. You can adjust the value in Card Margin Setting.
