Crease is Applied at the Wrong Depth When Using a SKU

  • If the Blade Depth is cut Too Shallow, Increase the Depth Bias.

  • For Additional Information:

  • See Depth Bias for information on setting the Depth Bias.

  • See Matboard Properties for information on assigning matboard SKUs to each layer of the design in Designer.

  • See Mat SKUs for information on assigning matboard SKUs to each layer of the design in Visualize.

  • See Frame SKUs for information on assigning Frame SKUs to each layer of the design in Visualize.

  • See Admin > Frames for the default settings for Frame Records for Vendors you are Subscribed to.

  • See Admin > Mats for the default settings for Mat Records for Vendors you are Subscribed to.

 Depth Bias Definition

The Depth Bias is used to calculate the proper Blade Depth when the SKU selected for the matboard contains the Matboard Thickness.

If the Blade Depth is cut Too Deep, Decrease the Depth Bias.

If the Blade Depth is cut Too Shallow, Increase the Depth Bias.

The formula is: [(Default Depth) - 10]

For example, if the normal Blade Depth for 4-ply is 11, then 11-10=1, so enter 1 for the Depth Bias.
