Default Re: Multicolor vinyl cutting placement!!

The thing about registration marks, they do not work on shirts!! If you put a registration mark on a shirt it will press onto the shirt. Unlike regular sign vinyl they don't peel off, they are permanent. Second, once you press the first layer onto the shirt you will have shrinkage and stretching making the marks pretty much useless. You can usually stretch the shirt to make the colors match but the registration marks would be of no use to you since the shrinkage is not consistant through the whole design. The good news is that the backing is usually tacky so you can see the how the design looks before you press it and if it doesn't match you can change it before you press it.
