are you using CUTMASTER 4?
have you tried to reset registration marks?
they should be a bit thick and no less than .75

on the control panel on the graphtec
make sure that your setting used...
make sure your size is correct - in cm4
have you tried to do the multiple reg marks along the sides as well

we have a mimaki - love it - we use ONLY illustrator/photoshop and rasterlink 6 and illustrator cymk/rgb color OR PMS colors - rasterlink6 is very easy to use once you get used to all the options
we have a cjv30/130-it is a work horse and more - we do it and 50 inch rolls work for us. we did not change the rip software - we find it very easy to run and it has never been a problem for us - if set up correct a cutting blade can last up to 3 years compared to our Graphtec that we get about...

2 make a new layer called (Cutcontour)
4 create cutline - make green 100% spot color call it Cutcontour - stroke at .001

open up raster 6 then open your eps file - go through...
i want to add one more very important item to what i posted - we work only in illustrator and i forgot one thing so here is what we do for cutting after printing with or with out lamination!
1 set up file in illustrator with a bit of bleed around each piece of art
2 create a pure green color and...
