If you do this procedure WITHOUT alignment marks, make sure to use the PC Origin Offset when setting your values. This comes in handy if you're doing print/cut in one operation and don't want to bother with registration marks. Comes in handy if you want to make better use of media and don't need to laminate your prints.

do you need to do this each time you change media or if you have laminated?

nice video. Thanks for the help. I wish you would have showed you entering the number value.

Printed numbers are in 0.1 mm's which isn't particularly obvious as the printer wants the offset in mm's
Printed chart already incorporates any existing offset, but doesn't indicate this on the chart (unlike roland). So if you've already got it set to +0.5 +0.5 or whatever then this will be your 0 value on the chart, and you'll need to add / subtract the numbers from the measurement.
Mimaki also can't make their mind up if it's scan / feed or X / Y.
Also there are several places to make this same adjustment, AFAICT it's just the one setting with several ways to access it.

I was able to do the print and cut origin adjust once but now when I try and press that button under the cut edit tab Rasterlink just freezes. my tech has not been able to give me an answer but my brand new machine is cutting up to a quarter inch off and I dont know how else to adjust the cuts if this feature in Rasterlink just locks up everytime

Maybe this helps: I was faced with the same issue of app freezing in the same circumstance, what I did was close app by Ënding Task then restarting the app, retrying to start the option under the Cut Edit tab as many times as it took to finally see it work without the app freezing. As for calibrating the cut, well, I am presently facing the same situation of having the cutt of my printing machine way off...and just can't seem to set it right!....
