Laser decides not to cut all, or certain vectors:
Make sure you don't have overlapping cut lines. This can be caused by using the "Paste in Place" function in Illustrator.
In Illustrator:
Check your Document Color Mode (duh).
Check the dropdown menu in the color tool pallate. Confirm that RGB is selected, and not Greyscale or other.
Select your vectors and bring up the color dialog. Make sure the "Web Colors" checkbox is de-selected. This has the same effect as using CMYK.
