whiteknuckleairlines 0 Posted January 12, 2009 I have been doing some multi layer vinyl and it seems like I can never get them quite straight when I layer them. Currently I setup my art and then manually enter a few registration marks on top to use when putting the layers together... Is this the best way? Where do you usually line up the registration marks? The top point? the middle where they cross? it seems like I even get some inconsistancy in the size of my registration marks. Is it better to put in your own marks? Or is it better to use the automatic registration marks option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy1234 1 Posted January 13, 2009 This guy is very good at it. It looks like he has them top aligned. I put them in manually, if you have the the grid turned on you can see how they track the grid line automatically.

whiteknuckleairlines 0 Posted January 13, 2009 I've seen that video its great. Seems like mine always miss though... I have no problem getting them to line up, but when I apply it seems like its always crooked... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan 0 Posted January 13, 2009 I put them in manually, I choose a color that is not used in the graphic, & have it cut with each layer, I have found that a small pentagon works best for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyM114 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Dylan, I don't think my program has automatic registration marks. I'm using SignblazerElements. How can I put them in manually? I tried to put a + sign on each side of the design, then copy them, but don't have any luck with that at all.Sandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan 0 Posted January 15, 2009 SBE does not have registration marks built in, a couple of small pentagons work best for me but here is a registration mark that can be used in SBE if you like. The pentagon, gives you a point to start with the top edges to align & the bottom sides & bottom plate to verify alignment. 1-registration-mark.SBD 1-reg-mark.eps 1-reg-mark2.eps 1-registration-mark.SBD 1-reg-mark.eps 1-reg-mark2.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
