Abstract: A novel print engraving substrate is provided that when used with a cutting plotter, is able to improve the functioning of the cutting plotter. In some embodiments, a print engraving substrate may comprise a print engraving material forming a top surface; an adhesive material coupled to the print engraving material opposite to the top surface; a print engraving area disposed on the top surface; and a registration area disposed on the top surface which may receive one or more registration marks. The print engraving area may be configured to receive indicia such as cutting indicia which may be applied by a printer. The registration area may lack one or more colors or textures applied to the print engraving area thereby facilitating or allowing an optical scanner of a cutting plotter to detect registration marks on a substrate comprising a colored and/or textured print engraving area.
