How to Use Silhouette Studio's Print and Cut Feature

[@glowforgeschool4438]

I wasted hours online watching videos on how to make my own stickers and for whatever reason I couldn't follow the instructions from other youtubers. Then I FINALLY came across your video and you explained it in such a simple way, that after two days and hours lost..I finally learned how to use registration marks and how to print and cut my own stickers. THANK YOU!

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching. - TRW Haley

[@dlp1044]

Your video is the best! (Better than actual silhouette school videos) Thank you so much!

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Yay that's so nice to hear, thank you! -TRW Erika

[@Fonkee3]

Thank! You! This was the clearest, to the point, and least annoying video describing exactly what to do. 😆 Very well explained. 👏🏾 I appreciate it!!!

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

You're so welcome! Thanks for watching. 💕 - TRW Haley

[@jodilea144]

Exactly what I needed! I’m doing inserts for baby shower invitations with a detachable raffle ticket. Your instructions were so easy to follow. Thanks! 🙂

Thank you for showing exactly how to place your paper on the mat.

[@shannondetchon8164]

What does the print bleed setting do? When would you use it? Great video (as always), thanks!

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

You use the bleed to add a touch of color bled out past the letter borders. It's useful for print to cut if you're a touch off on calibration so you don't see white slipping into the final product if you don't get the cut snug to the image or letters. -TRW Crystal

[@notime7574]

Thank you Lisa. I alway thought you had to stay away from the grey boxes not jut the registration marks. Now I can get more things on a page.

[@vanessablanco5219]

Thank you so much for this. Made it easier than the other tutorials I’ve seen.

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Great to hear!🥰️ -TRW Mireya

[@cyndijenks9600]

Thanks for the video. the only problem I'm having is only my first row is lined up.. how do I fix that?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Hi there! Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Please give us a call at 941-755-1696 for further assistance on this matter. - TRW Haley

[@kristycannon7923]

I'm a super beginner at this and I think you describe everything so great! However, around the 2:45 mark, you are saying that you are selecting everything in black (i.e. the verbage in the box). For some reason I can't figure out how your doing that! I'm sure it's something simple but I'm stuck. Whenever I try what your saying, I get to the action tab under SEND and select NO CUT, everything, even the red box goes grey. I need the red box to stay like you have it...red. I even tried to print out anyway, and it printed the page with nothing on it! Been at this for 45 mins......argggg! Can you help? Just trying to print labels like yours for practice. Thanks :)

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Hey Kristy! I think you need to change your cut type from Simple to Fill or Layer. If you have trouble doing so, give us a call at 941-755-1696 and we'd be happy to help. - TRW Haley

[@NatureZone101]

Thanks Lisa, question with print and cut. Can something be designed in Corel, etc, then brought into Silhouette to set up the trace and registration marks - say full color sticker designs or something like that. Then do the same steps of printing on full color printer and moving to Cameo or Portrait to get it cut out?

[@deeyee3457]

Thanks...What’s the best heat transfer paper to use for T-shirts? I’ve used Avery but it cracks easily

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Are you talking about heat transfer vinyl? Or paper you send through the printer? - Lisa

[@deeyee3457]

You send through printer

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

We have not used those, personally. I would check in a Silhouette-based facebook group. :) - Lisa

[@brendahiler1906]

Am learning! Want to make a menu for a party. You have explained very nicely. Have saved. Thanks.

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Awesome! Thanks for watching, Brenda! 🥰️ - TRW Haley

[@kaywoodparsons1874]

So I noticed that some of your letters actually was out in the negative space or registration area. So as long as the black dots and angle lines are not covered it's ok?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Hi there, Yes, as long as your design is within the registration marks, you're good to go! - TRW Haley

[@cutflower36]

How so u get the text to be solid like yours? When ever I use the text it's always hollow on the inside of the letters. Did you fill the letters?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Yes, you can add a fill to the letters to make them solid. - TRW Shannon

[@katlynnwitak1450]

what kind of paper do you use in the printer?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Typically cardstock, as its thick enough to withstand the cutter. 😊 - TRW Haley

[@curtiswalls1070]

Do you know what font you used?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Curtis Walls, I am not sure the exact name of the font we used in this video. :( Sorry

[@certified2919]

Two question! Do you use special paper for card stock? Because most card stocks are a lot more rougher then paper. If so can you list? 2 what type of printer do you use, or it doesn’t matter?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

We hope the last few years have treated you well! Regular cardstock, it's a heavier "paper" and an either inkjet or laser will do fine :-) We have a team especially for social media comments now, and we wanted to reach out and say thank you for being part of the Crew, and that we're here for any questions you might have.

[@tiffanystoppelmoor8226]

How were you able to get the paper off the mat so easily? I ended up have to buy a low tack mat because it wouldn’t release my paper

[@ValueDrivenLife2024]

Thanks for the video. Will have to try this feature again.

[@ladybug3g.365]

How do I get my printer to print out a message from my silhouette portrait 3?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

For printing, you need either a laser or inkjet. To make cards, or just draw something pretty on cardstock with your machine, you'll need the sketch pen that fits in the extra slot beside your blade. -TRW Crystal

[@MidSouthConstructionNashville]

Thank you for all your helpful videos! It is greatly appreciated!

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoy the videos! -TRW Abby

[@LynnKotterman]

how did you get the text to be black so that it will print

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Many people mistake these cutters for having the ability to do both things. There are machines out there that will, but they're in the double digits for price. To "print" THEN "cut" as it should be labelled, you first design in Sil, then send to your actual printer, inkjet or laserjet along with the registration marks. Then you feed it back into your cutter, and the laser eye reads the registration marks and knows where to cut. -TRW Crystal

[@karenthompson2563]

This is a great video! But, I have designed a black text sticker with a black oval around it. It copied, registration marks are there, the silhouette reads it then says unload, like the job is done. It doesn't cut. Any ideas? I've rewetted the video 4 times, I am definitely missing something.

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

In your cut panel, make sure you select the specific line you would like cut, and click "cut on the right. You should have a bold line around the cut line, but not around the others. - Lisa

[@CinderB]

Hey! I want to use as much space as I want so I want to make the lines for each square overlap. Every time I do, it cuts over the lines twice, sometimes even leaving cut marks on my cutting mat. How do I avoid this from happening?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

You're just in time!! We made this GOLD MINE filled video on cutting issues just yesterday! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aai1dmCrbbN8hLc -TRW Crystal

[@skylorewilson4694]

Thank you so much Lisa !! You’ve taught me everything I know about my silhouette and my pink heat press ❤️ I was just saying that I wanted to add care tags to my custom garments

[@ericachamberlain9241]

Thanks Lisa.

[@kctsp6631]

That's pretty cool. Can you cut out like a logo? I'm sure it probably doesn't need to be printed first and just sent through the cameo for cutting...right? Thank you for another great video.

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Yes! You can cut a logo straight out as long as its a vector. Make sure it has those bold lines you saw in the cut panel. :) - Lisa

[@kctsp6631]

OK, Thank you.

[@avaloslily]

how do you get the plain paper to start with i tried this when i went to print nothing was on the preview.

[@guadalupegonzalez1220]

hello I try to print, but when i send to print my file is not in there. onlu shows the print set up but no the text, can you help me please

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Make sure to run through everything like - is your page set up to the correct paper size, and that everything needed is on the work area of the screen, and often I like to get everything set up then go to send like I'm going to cut it. Just to see if it "sees" it with the red outline before I print. -TRW Crystal

[@guadalupegonzalez1220]

Thank you for your answer, I had to go listen to a video in Spanish and I figured that I had to have the letters in color, I was able to print, what I couldn't was cut, I have to look better.

[@alexandraechandia2055]

I've been trying to make care instructions but my cameo doesn't cut around the box it cuts thru out my design.. what can u do?? I've tried remaking the whole design reinstalling the program

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

It sounds like you might have the wrong cut settings. Make sure to select "Cut Edge" when you go to cut. Please email us at [e-mail] if you're still having trouble. -TRW Bri

Thanks. How do I cut htv t_shirt transfer paper on cameo?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Are you talking about heat transfer vinyl, or heat transfer paper that you print on your printer? - Lisa

[@Regi22]

@@TheRhinestoneWorld Hey there, Lisa. Good morning. My initial question was about HTV paper that I print on. Thanks for getting back to me. I figured I try and found using registration marks the design to be cut on my cameo. Silhouette doesn't have HTV print paper setting; however, I was able to use Copy Paper, Medium for best weed. I also learned it was best to allow ink to dry before cutting, lol... So, I appreciate your commitment and knowledge, plus your bravery and ambition inspires my creativity. Love what your doing

[@sherryarnold8849]

I can not get it to where it just cuts the edge. It keeps wanting to cut all of the design, regardless of how I set it up. When I click cut edge, it cuts the entire edge, both the inside one and the outside edge. Then there is no outline of the shirt. ( hope that makes sense)

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Hi Sherry! Unfortunately, we no longer provide Print and Cut support, so I actually wouldn't be able to help you, unfortunately. I would outsource this question, and maybe check with the Silhouette School socials. - TRW Haley

[@goddess3274]

I always have a problem with the machine cutting the shape correctly. It always goes off to the side and cuts the words.

But what about the pens that come with the silhouette? How do you print the text and cut both on the silhouette?

[@TheRhinestoneWorld]

Shelly, if you wanted to use the pens, put a pen in one of the carrier holders and set it to sketch pen. Then you would use the other carrier (if you have the CAMEO 3) to cut. Check out this video that shows a similar process, just trade out the second blade for the sketch pen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4iVqXuQd9x1jac - TRW Lisa
