MatDesigner: MatDesigner Configurations User Guide: Editing Deboss Configs

Debossing leaves an indent into the matboard for a subtle design accent.

NOTE: Make sure that the opening (from front) is cutting correctly before adjusting the Debossing.

Have MatDesigner open on main screen.

Click Saved Design button.

Go to the MatDesigner/Mats folder.

Click on Test Mats folder.

Click on DB Test Mats folder.

Click on the desired deboss test mat.

For the wide deboss, load DB Wide Test Mat.WZX.

For the medium deboss, load DB Medium Test Mat.WZX.

For the thin deboss, load DB Thin Test Mat.WZX.

Click Cut to take the configuration mat to the cut preview.

Cut the mat from the front of the mat with the cartridges prompted.

Mark an X in lower left corner of mat and opening on the cutting side before removing from CMC.

Look at the debossed design. Is there any tearing of the surface of the matboard? Is the deboss unevenly spaced around the opening? Do any of the debossed lines travel too far?

To make adjustments, Click on the Configurations button on the cut preview and click on the Deboss tab on the Configurations screen.

Select the desired cartridge to edit by selecting it from the dropdown control.

The debossed line should be evenly spaced around the opening. If the debossed line is in the wrong position horizontally (left and right), adjust the horizontal home.

Increase horizontal adjustment to move the deboss to the right.

Decrease horizontal adjustment to move the deboss to the left.

The debossed line should be evenly spaced around the opening. If the debossed line is in the wrong position vertically (up and down), adjust the vertical home.

Increase vertical adjustment to move the deboss up.

Decrease vertical adjustment to move the deboss down.
