The waste mark feature in Pandora software gives you a way to quickly identify areas where cutting dies need to be adjusted.

Pandora version 8.0: Ability to place Die Waste marks around the outside of die stations without encroaching on the bleed
When you apply the Die Waste SmartMark to a job, Pandora automatically applies unique numbers to the substrate areas that are outside the die and that will be discarded as waste when the cutting process completes. If you detect a problem with the way the job is cut, you can compare the number on problematic scrap with its counterpart on your proof or your layout in Pandora, and adjust the die as needed.
Waste marks are always located outside the bleed area and they are applied only to the front side of layouts. (On two-sided layouts, waste marks are placed only on the front side.) If you are using the Die_WasteMark.pdf mark that is one of the standard Pandora SmartMarks, it is set to registration and will appear on all separations unless you choose otherwise.
Pandora version 8.4: Ability to identify waste areas within die stations
For example, when you need to cut out pieces of board to create a locked base, the information that you can identify from the cut line type might help to select a suitable anchor for the die station mark handling. If this is difficult, you can manually place marks for this purpose.
Pandora 8.4 offers the following options for placing the mark in the different types of waste areas:
- External Area Line Type: If you want to place waste marks outside the die, specify the dieline type number that will be used to define the waste areas between die stations.
- Internal Area Line Type: If you want to place waste marks within die stations, specify the dieline type number that will be used to define waste areas.
- Both Areas Line Type: If you want to place waste marks in both the external and internal areas, specify a line type number that will be used for both areas.
- Distance from Edge of Die: Specify the distance from the edge of the dieline type to place the mark. The unit of measure is the one specified as the default in the Pandora Preferences.
Numbering scheme for waste areas
Because waste areas are typically an irregular shape, the placement of numbers may appear confusing (for example 1-1,1-2,1-3, 2-1,2-2). You can use this general rule for locating a specific waste mark:
- The first number (the one before the hyphen) identifies the number of the die station.
- The number that follows the hyphen identifies a location around the die station.
Customizing waste marks
You can also create your own mark if you need to use a specific font or bounding box for the Die Waste SmartMark. Or, you can select any kind of standard Pandora mark and transform it into a waste mark. Whether you create your own waste mark or modify an existing mark to be a waste mark, you will need to anchor it to the Waste Area option and accept all the other settings that appear when you select the Waste Area option.
Note: The customized marks may allow for more or fewer die waste marks on the substrate. If you use a large font, it may encroach on the artwork, but you can resolve this by placing the mark in the back of the stack order.
After the Die Waste SmartMark is automatically placed on the layout, you can unlock it and move instances of it to other locations or delete instances that you do not want.

Pandora 软件中的废料标记功能使您可以快速识别需要调整剪切刀版的区域。
| 通过数字来指示标记，该数字引用了每个刀版台及其相关废料区域 |
Pandora 8.0 版：能够将刀版废料标记放在刀版台外部而不会侵占出血。
当您将刀版废料 SmartMark 应用到作业中时，Pandora 会将唯一号码自动应用到刀版之外的承印物区域，该区域在剪切过程完成后，会作为废料丢弃。如果您检测到作业的剪切方式存在问题，您可以将有问题废料的号码与您的打样或您的 Pandora 版式中的相应号码进行比较，并根据需要调整刀版。
废料标记始终位于出血区域之外，它们仅应用于版式的正面。（在双面版式上，废料标记仅放置在正面。）如果您使用的是 Die_WasteMark.pdf 标记（标准 Pandora SmartMark 之一），它将设置为套准，并将出现在所有分色上，除非您做出了其他选择。
Pandora 8.4 版：能够识别刀版台内的废料区域
例如，当您需要切掉板片以创建锁定的底座时，可从剪切线类型识别的信息可能有助于选择一个合适的锚点，用于刀版台标记处理。如果很难做到这一点，则可以为此手动放置标记。
Pandora 8.4 提供了以下选项，用于将标记放置在不同类型的废料区域中：
- 外部区域线类型：如果要将废料标记放置在刀版之外，请指定将用于定义刀版台之间的废料区域的刀版线类型编号。
- 内部区域线类型：如果要将废料标记放置在刀版台以内，请指定将用于定义废料区域的刀版线类型编号。
- 双区域线类型：如果要将废料标记放置在外部区域和内部区域中，请指定将用于这两个区域的线类型编号。
- 到刀版边缘的距离：指定用于放置标记的到刀版线类型边缘的距离。度量单位是在 Pandora首选项中指定的默认值。
废料区域的编号方案
由于废料区域通常具有不规则的形状，所以数字的布局可能会产生混淆（例如 1-1、1-2、1-3、2-1、2-2）。您可以使用此通用规则来查找特定的废料标记：
- 第一个数字（连字符前的数字）标识了刀版台的编号。
- 连字符后的数字标识了刀版台周围的一个位置。起始位置位于刀版台的中间顶部位置（中午十二点方向），将继续沿刀版四周顺时针设置编号。
自定义废料标记
如果需要为刀版废料 SmartMark 使用特定字体或边框，也可以创建自己的标记。或者，您可以选择任何类型的标准 Pandora 标记，并将它转换为废料标记。无论您是创建自己的废料标记或将现有标记修改为废料标记，您需要将它锚定到废料区域选项上，并在选择废料区域选项时，接受显示的其他所有设置。
注意：自定义标记让您可以在承印物上设置更多或更少刀版废料标记。如果您使用大字体，它可能会侵占页面，但您可以通过将标记放置在堆叠顺序的后面来解决此问题。
