This is a glitter cold laminated sticker paper. The design is supposed to have a 10px border equal in all sides. I’ve tried changing the passes, the speed, calibrated multiple times getting -2 to 2 calibration settings. I even got 0 in the calibration and its still very misaligned. At this point the sticker paper I am using for calibration is way more than the sticker paper I’m using to sell.

Hi, @Regine_Rachel_Roxas, welcome to the community. The print then cut feature is definitely tricky. I always suggest practicing first and using regular paper before cutting sticker paper. I have a video in which I do print then cut. It will be way easier to direct you to it, rather than type it all out for you. From IdeaStudio to Finished Envelope — My More Self‑Love Project Video!. There are timestamps so you can go directly to the print then cut section. This process involves creating an offset with the actual Offset function rather than creating one with the software’s Print Then Cut offset feature. If you have any questions after watching the video, feel free to come back here & ask. Just make sure to click the Reply on this comment instead of the orange one, so as to be sure I get the notification. If my video helped you, please let me know.

You can also take a look at this thread in which I explained how to do it. No lee las marcas de registro [RESOLVED] (It’s in English, btw).

Hi, again, @Regine_Rachel_Roxas.

I have a little more time now to explain my process.

  1. Try creating an offset with the actual Offset function around all of your stickers. Just a very small one at like 0.1
  2. This will create another layer in black
  3. Change the color of the offset layer to a color that isn’t in your sticker design
  4. Select both layers and group them together, make sure not to move the print layer from the offset layer
  5. Click Make
  6. Select the box that has the color of the offset layer (you can make sure it’s only the offset layer by clicking the little arrow beside the box color. If it has anything other than the offset layer, go back and change the color
  7. Set the cut parameters for that layer
  8. Add it to task
  9. Go back to the make screen, and set the mode to Print Then Cut this time
  10. Select all of the layers except your offset layer
  11. Click Print
  12. Choose your print settings (Paper type, set scaling to None, turn off borderless printing)
  13. Print
  14. Click Printed
  15. Load your paper into the machine, and click Start on the offset layer
  16. This should give you a perfect print then cut

Let me know if this worked for you.
