  4. Problem contour cutting after laminating

    Using VersaWorks with my Roland printer/cutter. Trying to print/lam/cut some large decals with text. The text is cutting perfectly, but the large part of the design is not cutting deep enough. I've looked in Illustrator and everything is set the same (line width, etc.)....Any ideas?
