I don't see why you couldn't use a color laser, as long as you print the registration marks. With the cougar and KNK plug in you set the laser to the registration marks yourself, by hand, so as long as you can see the marks and line them up with the laser it should be fine.
Kathybessey I'm wondering wnat you are using for pand c now. I've been using the KNK plug in with MTC, and it is working fine, but I too am a bit worried about what will happen if I move the machine or, especially, change to a different kind of blade holder. If I understand correctly, the numbers adjust for the space between where the laser mark is and where the point if the cutting knife is,so if you do anything that might alter that, you might have to recalibrate and find new numbers. The good news is, I don't think the numbers would be off much because your blade position shouldn't change that much and I have a feeling once you go through the calibration a few times you'll get better and faster at figuring out how much adjustment you need and in which direction.
Now I'll step back and wait for someone like Dawn, who knows so much more about these machines, give you the official answer. LOL
