    Use a different transfer tape that is made for that issue. After you squeegee it over a dozen times, let it sit for 20 or 30 minutes to cure.

    The color must be a spot color and named exactly "CutContour". I believe the outline has to be "Hairline" or 0.5 PT. A bigger outline won't be seen by Versaworks.
