Color: transparent Key benefits Clear line detail and a precise scale let you mark and cut with confidence, reducing errors and rework. High accuracy measurement and visible guide lines ensure consistent results when making plates by hand. Flexible, transparent design makes it easy to position, align, and trace over plate materials without obscuring your work. What it does Serves as an ideal tool for manual cutting plate making, providing visible guides and an accurate scale to improve cut precision and layout accuracy. Helps speed up manual workflows by making layout, alignment, and measurement straightforward and repeatable. Important attributes Color: transparent — provides unobstructed view of the substrate and guide lines beneath. Line detail: clear and finely defined for precise cutting and marking. Scale: clearly printed with high accuracy to support reliable measurements. Flexibility: good flexibility allows the tool to conform to slightly curved or uneven surfaces and makes handling easier during manual plate work. Typical use scenarios Hand-cutting and preparing printing plates: place the transparent guide over the plate, align the design, and use the visible scale and lines to make accurate cuts. Template making and alignment: trace, mark, and align layouts directly through the transparent material to maintain exact placement for multiple plates. Precision measuring for manual layout tasks: use the clear scale and line detail to verify dimensions and spacing before cutting. Why choose this tool Designed specifically to support manual plate-making tasks where visibility, measurement accuracy, and flexibility matter. Simple, practical design focused on improving precision and workflow without added complexity.
