First of all, thank you in advance for any input you can share.
I'm running a LaserPoint II cutter, with the SCALP 3 program. Not a very big fan of that program, but it's what I have for the time being.
I noticed when doing a 3 layer windshield decal that when I tried to lay the colors on top of each other, that they do not line up correctly.
On the program, everything is straight and centered. However after cut, and application time, it's off. If the right side is centered, the left side will drift down to the right. If I center the right side, it drifts up to the left on the left side. If I center the middle of the image, either side will drift one way or the other. I've only noticed this issue on larger (30" +) images. I can cut shorter or smaller images, and they will layer just fine.
Yes I use registration marks, and they do not line up either.
What I do not know for sure is if it's the cutter giving me the issue, or if it's the program that is giving me the issue. I tend to think it's probably the cutter, but cannot say for sure.
Sorry I do not have any images to share with anyone regarding my issue. I did a work around to complete the job. It's not the best work I've done, but it's acceptable for the purpose. I didn't snap any photos of it while it was on the layout table.
