Anybody have any tips for the best ways to register paper? I'm working on a job to replace die cutting with laser cutting for a series of wedding invitations. I don't have a camera registration system (epilog helix 24) and was having a hard time finding pointers on how to properly register paper for cutting.

I'll be getting the prints from a letterpress studio, then will be cutting them in a specific shape. The prints already have printers registration marks on it.

I was thinking of building a simple frame/jig out of clear acrylic with matching registration marks engraved that I could lay over the paper to match the papers registration. Tolerance doesn't need to be perfect. But at least then I can butt the acrylic into the upper corner of the bed, then shift the paper to match the registration on the acrylic.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
