Hi everyone, I hope you can help. I want to print and cut a logo on to Subli Flock. What do I do about the registration marks? I have spoken to Graphtec who have been very helpful but I have not really answered the question. Am I right in thinking that I need to print the registration marks in mirror so that when I sublimate the image on to the flock that the image and reg marks are the correct way around.

Is there a simple way of doing this using Corel Draw x4, or am I being a bit thick!!!!!

Print the design with the three registration marks in reverse onto subi paper, then press onto the flock. I dont know the Craft Robo but I presume from your post that it has optical recognition. It will see the registration marks and then cut the pre loaded vector lines which you drew in X4.

Why not cut your subliflock first (in reverse) then press your image into the cut piece?

Thanks Martin

That is actually what I have done, however I was trying to be a smart A**e and wanted to know how to do it the registration mark way. But thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me.

A little confession as well. I do it the way Martin said as the optical recognition way is a PITA.

Is it hard to line up the print to the cut?

I've not tried it - just curious ......

If you look on youtube you will see videos on how to do it. No it is not difficult, you just have to line up the two registration points on the front.
But Id stick to the way Martin said, its easier.

If you make your image, say 1mm larger than the piece then it's easy to position the cut piece on the image, hold in place by tape, turn over and press. Simples :)
