I am doing this with vinyl and an optically clear double sided laminate to clear acrylic... What kind of paper do you guys use? The vinyl I have access too looks nice but lacks dimensional stability. I imaging that the paper is the best choice as long as it is protected on both sides. What type...

Summa support can answer your question or remote onto your pc and show you exactly what the cause is, but it does sound like your cut-color is not a spot as mentioned above.
