Core and Panel Print Order Guidelines

• Standard Rule: Always print Cores first, followed by Panels.

• Exception – Slit Jobs:
  When printing slit jobs (jobs requiring the roll to be cut to a narrower width), follow this order instead:
  
  

  1. Run full-width jobs first (i.e., jobs that use the original roll width).
     
     

  2. Then run slit-width jobs, even if the slit job is a Core.

This order supports the finishing team’s workflow, as it is easier for them to adjust from narrower (e.g., 1500mm) to wider (e.g., 1600mm) widths — from the outside to the inside of the roll — rather than the reverse.

Print Alignment & Setup Checks

⚠️ Important: Once a run begins, ensure that the print is correctly centred on the roll. You can confirm this in two ways:

• Verify that the double black line spans from edge to edge at the start of the run.

• Use a tape measure to confirm that the distance from the edge of the roll to the printed colour is 30mm.

Dual Print Setup (Different Widths)

• If running dual prints with two different roll widths (e.g., 1600mm and 1800mm), always load the wider roll in Position 2.

Artwork Spacing

• Maintain a distance of 0.148m between artworks for each unit quantity (#qty).
