Kornit Neck Tag Pallets | Setup

Kornit Neck Tag Pallets | Setup

Introduction

The following article has been written to document how to set up a product to print a merged neck tag pallet which can be printed on a Kornit standard 396 by 597 mm pallet. An example of how this layout will be printed can be seen below. 

With this setup you can see the system will print a cropped output that only include the print, so space is reduced from the uncropped output
For more information on our standard Kornit pallet setup, please refer to the following article for multiple different pallet sizes - Link

How To Set Up Neck Tag Print Area

In order to set this up this neck tag on your standard pallets first head to the product and go to the "Print" section. 

On the "Print" section press to create a new print area. 

Within the print area, set up the name as the "Neck" print area and set the required print area size, for this example we are going for 68 by 62 millimeters. 

Once the "Neck" print area has been setup, your print areas should appear similarly to the below example.

Now set you can move onto setting up the layout that will give us the desired print output. 

How To Set Up Neck Tag Print Layout

This following section will breakdown how to set up a print layout including the neck tag. First step here is to change over from "Print Areas" to "Print Layouts" in the "Print" menu. 

Within "Print Layouts" click the "+ Print Layout" button to being creating your layout.

The Print Layout setup menu will now appear, the layout should be named and the Print Area dimensions need to be set. These must match the size of the front print area and DPI, to ensure the entire print is being covered. 

Once these areas are set you need to connect the print areas, to do so click the "+Area" button and a dropdown will be visible. Within the dropdowns select both the "Front" and "Neck Tag" print areas, and set the X and Y positions of these areas. For this example we can set the front to be 0 by 110 mm and the neck as 114 by 0. 

Once the print areas are allocated to the layout, we must enable auto crop and to do so select the "Auto Crop" dropdown as shown below. 

Within this dropdown, change this over from "No" to "South East" which will generate only the South East of the print with our layout setup. You must also set the south east crop to include millimeters to be excluded, for this example we have set this to 10 mm. 

Now the layout has been set we recommend running a print test to ensure the layout is printing to a desired output, this may require multiple tests to ensure you have got this to match exactly to what you require with your print output. 

We have generated an example layout, you can access this here - Link
