1. Create and Import Background
First, set up your card size. For this example, we'll use a card measuring 115mm width × 170mm height. These measurements will be used to configure the paper size to ensure that the machine's paper size matches the actual paper size.
Next, we'll take a photo of the entire card, making sure the image is straight. The image will be cropped later, and if it's not straight, it may look distorted. Take a photo similar to mine, then crop out the excess.
Next step is to proceed to the software interface to set the paper size.
After setting up, open the image you saved as the background by following these steps: click on File, select Open, and then choose the saved image.
This is how it looks after being opened.
2.Create and Import Text
Repeating the same content one by one can be quite monotonous, so let me demonstrate how to create 10 unique cards at once. This doesn't mean the machine is limited to just 10 cards. First, select a font; you can even input your own font. I've chosen the PremiumUltra48v6 font. Then, add two text boxes: one for names, placed on top, and another for content, positioned below.
This is what it looks like after my adjustments.
Next, I will add a simple image to make my card more personalized. We need to import an SVG image onto the card, so we now need to create an SVG image. There are many methods to do this, using various professional software as long as it can export in SVG format. I used a simpler approach, using an app called Concepts to trace the image, and then exported it into the software.
After opening the app, I imported the image to trace.
This is the final result.
Click on "export" to save the image in SVG format.
Return to UUNA TEK software and select SVG.
3.Adjust the Format
Since the image is imported, adjustments are needed. First, click on the crosshair in the top-left corner. In the pop-up dialog, select 'stroke deformation'. Then, adjust the size and position of the image, as well as the font, image, and their respective positions.
This is after the adjustments have been made.
Next, we will change the contents of two character boxes. Our machine has a binding function that can automatically make the changes.
First, prepare a table like mine, with column A for names and column B for content. No header is needed. If there is a header, please remove it.
Select the crosshair cursor for the character box, choose Binding in the pop-up dialog, and enter A1 in the subsequent dialog, which corresponds to the first name in the table.
Similarly, bind content to B1, corresponding to the content in the table.
Next, we will process the table data in batch mode, selecting Batch application data.
Continue to click "Next" until you reach this interface, then select the table file.
At this point, we have generated 10 different cards, each with our image logo on it.
You can preview the cards we generate.
After preparing the cards, we insert them into the iAuto, where the feeder's guide plate holds the cards in place.
4.Generate Code and Begin Writing
Finally, code writing can be generated, which can be done in two ways: one is to write many copies of the same card.
The other method is the one we use today. I created 10 pages, but this time I only want to write pages 2 through 6. All I need to do is input 2~6 in the text box before "range paper," and I'll get what I need.
When everything is ready, you can click the Write button to start production, here is the demo video:
