Results

Plate cylinder diameter: 0mm
Teeth (Z): 0
Pitch diameter (die bearer): 0mm
Natural repeat: 0mm
Distorted repeat: 0mm

Cut the artwork to the distorted repeat: the plate stretches when it is mounted on a smaller diameter.

These results are a planning estimate. Always confirm the repeat and the die layout with your die maker and your machine supplier before ordering.
