I'm designing some signage that will be printed and cut with a CNC machine. What would be the best color swatch to use for the lines that should be cut?
Answer
The industry standard for die-cut lines on laser cutting machines are as follows:
- Red stroke: RGB (255,0,0)
- Stroke weight: to 0.01mm / 0.25 pt
That being said, it's always a good idea to double check with the company you're planning on sending the vector files to just to make sure they use the same standards.
