Contour cut Transfers

[gadgetsboy]

Hi
I am trying to contour cut transfers using flexisign and my refine mh721 laserpoint, Now i setup the graphic in flexi ok and add a contour and registration marks then i use rip and cut and send the print to the 1290 and it prints ok but then i dont know were to go from there how do i start the cut on the cutter once i have loaded the transfer in the cutter? what command tells the cutter to look for the registration marks and then cut the graphic?

Well I'm flabagasted !! I have posted this question on 3 tshirt / sublimation forums and a signmaking forum and not one answer ?
Is anyone actually contour cutting transfers? if so what software do you use? I really need to contour cut 100 3"X2" transfers to put on Black polo shirts and dont fancy using scissors lol any ideas anyone?

Taken from an eucutters website selling MH1351plotter:
TO DO CONTOUR CUT YOU NEED SIGNGO FULL SOFTWARE(NOT INCLUDED)

I think this will apply to your plotter but i'd check 1st - website below:

Why don't you go back to the supplier you bought the plotter off - surely they'll know as they sell it ?

Hi Gadgetsboy,

My cutter does not have a laser sighting system for spotting registration marks. When I required to cut some sticker contours I cut the contours first, then printed my images. I initially printed the images on plain paper to determine what offset I required to suit the cutter. By holding the cuts and printed images to the light I could see whether they would line up well. Not very high tech but it worked for me and the group I did the stickers for. Once I had the offset measurements I knew that when I put the printed stickers into the cutter, they would line up.
