Hi....I think there is more to it in Illustrator, I'd tell you how but im tired of bagging my head against the trying to figure it out.

Here is the basic way:

Build 3 layers
1 with reg marks
1 with logo for print
1 with contour cut

turn off contour cut layer and print logo with reg marks
turn off logo for print layer
turn on contour cut layer

Align in cutter with reg marks and send to cutter.


Are you using cut master?

I've always just created a spot color swatch called CutContour and apply it to the path you want cut.

no im not doing the print just the design
