Silhouette Studio® V4 | Chapter 10 - Print & Cut
81
10 - Print & Cut Silhouette electronic cutting tools have the special ability to read printed jobs sent from Silhouette Studio® in order to cut the contour lines defined in your workspace as they outline print information. In other words, you are able to print an image with filled color or effects to your regular home printer and then feed the printed sheet into the Silhouette to cut out around the printed image. 10.1 Registration Marks The original Silhouette, Silhouette SD, Cameo, Portrait, and Curio models have an optic scanner for reading marks that can be printed by Silhouette Studio®. These marks are called registration marks. These marks will print around the border of your workspace and will be read by the Silhouette’s optic scanner prior to cutting so that the Silhouette can triangulate according to where these marks are located and know exactly where the cut lines are defined around your printed images. Registration marks are only used when printing images for the purpose of performing Print & Cut jobs.
To access these marks, click on the Registration Marks icon in the Page panel.
You may enable the registration marks by selecting Type 1 or Type 2 under the Registration Mark icon. If desired according to the job being performed, these marks can be adjusted. Please note that while you may make the marks smaller, if the Silhouette fails to locate these marks, you may need to adjust the registration mark size to ensure the optic scanner is able to successfully locate these marks.
You will note that the marks have a hash mark fill around them.
This hash mark fill indicates that print information cannot be contained in this area in order for the optic scanner to operate properly.
