Shape outline colors differ even though stroke settings are the same

Question

I have two issues with my design and I am wondering if they are related. I am wanting to laser cut this design, but my red cut lines did not show up when I went to print it.

Since then, I went to add new shape outlines (with the rectangle tool), and their red outline appeared darker, even though it is the same RGB red and the same line thickness and opacity as I used for the shapes I drew with the pen tool. How do I make all the outlines the same dark red as the rectangles, when both appear to have the same stroke settings? Would changing this help me print it?

I'd love to provide the file, but I keep getting the error message, "the content type (application/postscript) does not match its file extension".

The strokes are the same colour. One of the rectangles has its stroke applied to the inside, which appears to change the way it is rendered at some zoom settings (on my monitor at least).
