  Steve,

  Not sure what you are trying to do, but we don’t use Shiraz for putting in registration marks.

  We use FineCut to put them in an Illustrator file, which we save as an eps, and then print. FineCut picks them up for contour cutting no problem.

  The training you get with a new Mimaki should cover all that.

  So I use Illustrator/Finecut to produce crop marks, and then send to Shiraz to print?
