Paper that is at least 150 g/m² should be used for the inner part to ensure enough volume in the finished product
The option "Send Beziers and paths to driver" must be activated in your program. Otherwise, JobControl® Vision will not recognize the registration marks.
Step by Step
Step 1: Make design layout
Create your own design and tweak it to your liking. Print it on the LaserPaper Wood or send it to your printer. This example is being engraved and cut, so a hair cross is placed in the center of the design instead of registration marks. The hair cross allows the job to be accurately positioned.
Use the below settings to send the graphic of the outer shell to the laser:

enhanced geometries, inner geometries first
Step 2: Laser process
Adjust the parameter settings. Depending on the laser machine and the laser power available, parameters may differ.
Tip:
In JobControl, switch the order of the colours from red to blue so that the material is scratched first and then cut.

Step 3: Post-processing
Remove the cover from your laser and insert the catalogue's core. Or, if using a commercial printer, give the cut-out cover to your printing representative for attachment to the catalogue.
Inspirations
Coloured prints look great on this material as well, thanks to the wood grain. Your creativity has no limits.
