1clo1 4 Posted March 25, 2021 Hello, I'm working on a project, it's 3 colors. 1 color is metallic, 2 are gloss. is there a way to use different widths of vinyl to accomplish this, I don't know how I would get the registration marks to line up if I used 24" wide and 12" wide vinyl. The reason for this is because the "Base Layer" which is gloss vinyl, is cut on 24' wide vinyl because of its size, however, the metallic is only about 8" and I can only find metallic green in 12' wide. I could rotate the letters on the vinyl but again, the registration marks won't line up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks If you make your own registration marks you can place them wherever you want. You could have a set that are specific to the metallic and another set that are specific to the third color.

I've tried to add a square or other shape to make a registration mark, but it won't show up on all the layers, it shows as a separate color in the project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would need to either select the color of those registration marks (selecting 2 colors at the same time in your cutting software) or make a second copy of the mark exactly over the top of the first set and make them the same color as that color of the design. If exactly stacked you won't see them but both layers will be there when you go to cut by color. Not sure what program you are using to design but there is often an option to paste an item in place or on top etc... Copy paste in place and then change the color of the new set is how I do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
