I am trying to put an image on both sides of an item. I have one for the front that also does the cut then I flip it over and line up the back image and it looks good on the screen but when I print it the print is off and the image has moved on the screen. Is there a way to line something up and make it stay there? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Make sure that both of your images are in the same file but with different colors to make them unique items stacked on top of one another within the cut line. Open the file in Glowforge. Focus on your material and enable engrave/score for one of the sides along with the cut element. Don’t move anything when the print is over. Flip your item. Ignore the cut operation and ignore the first side operation while enabling print for the 2nd side. Ignore what the camera shows because if you don’t move anything the 2nd side will print exactly where the 1st side did. Click print.

Use a jig.

As long as the images are in the same file, what @dklgood is saying is a “jig”. Same process with just an additional engrave before putting in the other side.

Thank you so much. I had it 1/2 right but 1/2 right is still the same as wrong, lol. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out on my own.

Thank you and now I will look into what a jig is in glowforge before I need it and have a repeat of this.

Thank you, that helps with what is a jig in glowforge and nice to have a confirmation for the process before using up too many more supplies.
