Help cutting reflective using mimaki fx160cg plotter

Print Com

New Member
I am printing on oracal reflective material using a hp design jet L28500 printer and mimaki fx160cg plotter. My question is I'm not having trouble printing on reflective, but having trouble plotting it using illustrator fine cut. When I get it printed and run through the steps to read the registration marks to tell plotter how big a piece to cut. Will sometimes read the marks or most of the time just pass over it and error out. It never finishes reading the marks. Is their a way to get plotter to read the marks so it can contour cut the what I want. Am I missing something or is their an easier way to go about cutting reflective after I print on it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

thanks in advance
