    Not sure what type of laser you have? We have Epilog machines and have seen this in the past.  It was a fairly easy fix by replacing the X-axis flex cable or the X-axis encoder strip.

    Megan,

    Looks to me like it is a Y axis issue. Clean & possibly lubricate Y axis components.  As Van suggested, different manufacturer's systems might require different solutions; so,  I think you'll get better input if you give us  make/model of your laser.
