CutContour is the industry naming convention for the cut path in a print-and-cut file: a spot color named exactly "CutContour" (by convention 100% magenta, applied as a stroke set to overprint) that RIP software routes to the cutter instead of printing. The RIP matches the swatch by its name string, so spelling and capitalization matter — Roland VersaWorks adds "PerfCutContour" for through-cuts.
