Laser Cutting!!!

Today was when we got the chance to do abit of laser cutting yeyy!!!But we hit afew problems along the way with software issues, as our illustator files weren't opening correctly on the PC in the laser cutting room. Which meant afew dashes to and from the mac suites, but we managed to over come this problem eventually.

But when our cut outs returned we had yet another problem to face. Because we had screenprinted the designs on to our stock the registration was out on the laser cutter as its all digital.This is what one of them looked like:
But because we had screen printed more designs on different stock we were able to resolve this issue by cutting the prints up and sticking them to the surface of the laser cut pieces.Which worked a treat!!!
