![]() ![]() However, I think I've found a way around it: if I create my image then export to SCAL, then export again from SCAL - saving as an SVG with 'Show Registration Marks' ticked, I can open it in one of my other design programs add an additional registration mark in the 4th corner (so that I have one in the correct corner when the mirror image is transferred from the paper to the vinyl after printing and pressing), then print and press. However, I assume the tutorial you're talking about is similar / the same as the one from Craft Edge that I linked to in my post which doesn't seem to work for me using Inkscape as none of my layer names ever transfer over to SCAL. I know I had access to the learning centre years ago, and I remember going through it all when I first got my machine, but I can't seem to find it now. Sorry for the long, rambling post, and thanks for reading!

I got all excited when I found the Craft Edge Tutorial "Import Artwork with Registration Marks" here, but that is for Illustrator, and naming layers in any of the programs I am using doesn't seem to work (layer names never carry over to SCAL on anything I do, and the rectangle certanly isn't being recognised and converted in to registration marks. I use a variety of software to make my designs - including GIMP, Affinity Designer, and Inkscape. Therefore, I need to manually add registrtion marks to my print out so that I can upload to SCAL (not mirrored) to cut the vinyl after it's printed. However, I will need to print via a program other than SCAL, since, as far as I know, SCAL doesn't support custom ICC colour management profiles, and even if it did, as there are only registration marks in 3 corners, they wouldn't be in the correct 3 corner! My problem is, the method of sub printing on to sub vinyl is that you print a mirror image, then put the paper face down on to the vinyl and press it to transfer, so that it is then the right way round. I have a sublimation printer, and want to sub print on to vinyl, then cut it out with my Silver Bullet using SCAL as the cutting software. I have a conundrum that has my head in a whirl and I hope I will be able to explain it clearly!
