A method includes obtaining a nominal distance between a printhead and an X cut line position in a printer; obtaining a predetermined slice length of an image to be printed; determining an adjusted slice length as a function of the nominal distance and an offset; advancing a print medium through a print zone of the printer in accordance with the predetermined slice length or the adjusted slice length, and printing an image slice after a print medium advance; repeating the advancing and printing a number N of times; and after the Nth print medium advance, printing an image slice and cutting the print medium at the X cut line position.

Printing and cutting

According to an example, a cutting module may comprise a carriage and a cutting blade, wherein the carriage may be capable of reciprocating movement along a cutting path. The carriage may be supported by a support structure and the cutting blade may have a fitting pin to engage with the carriage. During a first direction movement along the cutting path, the fitting pin may obtain a first cutting-edge angle. During a second direction movement along the cutting path, the fitting pin may obtain a second cutting-edge angle.
