Cutting a print after you laminate it?

[select426]

I was hoping somebody may be able to help me out. We have some logos that we need to print and then laminate and then put back in the machine to cut. We have never doen this before but know it can be done. Can anyone help us out?

We have a Roland sp540.

Have you tried the manual first, just to get an idea? It is actually quite helpful.

You have to set up a contour cut around your logos first before printing.

What software did you design your logo in?

Make sure you print the registration marks. Print ONLY, laminate, then put it back in. CUT ONLY.

Yeah it's actually very simple I did it for the first time yesterday on my SP-300V. Been providing unlaminated stickers for people for a while heh.

Bring in EPS with contour cut into versaworks
Print ONLY with registration marks
Make sure you have like 3" on the head and tail ends before sheet cutting
Laminate
Put back in machine, line up Circle-rectangle
Cut ONLY in versaworks.

Worked great! Made me feel warm in fuzzy inside.
