Silhouette Studio® V4 | Chapter 15 - Troubleshooting

15.2 Calibration Calibration of the tool is only required for adjustment of the cutting alignment as it relates to Print & Cut jobs and the alignment of cuts as they relate to printed information. This should only be performed if you specifically experience concerns with your cut lines not aligning with the contour of printed images during Print & Cut jobs that use registration marks. These options may be found by right-clicking anywhere in the Send tab and selecting Calibration.
For this operation, it is recommended to use a sketch pen in order to more clearly view the results and make adjustments accordingly.
To start, you will first need to select to Print the Calibration Test Page in order to print the test page to your home printer. Do not make any adjustments to the Calibration Test Page on your computer screen. Once printed, you will need to place the printed sheet onto your cutting mat as displayed on the screen. You will need to select the Load w/ Carrier option on the unit when using the Silhouette SD model or Load Cutting Mat option when using the Cameo or Portrait model. Once loaded, use the arrow buttons on the screen to align your blade so it is pointing to the first cross mark in the area that is represented in green on your computer screen, or in other words, the upper left corner of the first mark. Once the blade is in position, click on the Calibrate option. This will engage the Silhouette to attempt to read the mark and sketch/cut along the cross lines accordingly. If either line is off, you will want to make adjustments according to the measurement of exactly how far above or below/how far to the left or right the resulting sketch or cut line was performed. To do this, measure the distance between the original printed mark and the actual performed mark.
