It went too far pass the corners and I was unable to use the arrows on the screen to relocate the red cross. I have repositioned the blade to the corner or the marking point on the page, but it did not pick up the second corner either.. The deign has a laminate on top and placed on a mat (custom mat).

    sorry maybe dumb question... but are u able to use a card stock paper on the siser to just cut the contour? I want to print a sticker but have just a cutting contour to glue behind the actually sticker no print just cut... Hope it makes sense

    • @SwiftCreekCustoms
      @SwiftCreekCustoms Місяць тому

      @Buendia323 yes. Here is how I would do it. Create an offset of the sticker that you would want cut. Copy and paste the offset to a new design mat. Save both files and then copy and paste the offset to be cut as many times as you want on the new file.

    Hi I’m Robert I have the siser Leonard pro design studio and the version I have as of January 20,2024 is 1.1.18 but I’m having a very hard time trying to unground my designs. Can you do a video about ungrouping with the 1.1.18 version on Leonardo pro

    • @SwiftCreekCustoms
      @SwiftCreekCustoms Місяць тому

      @RobertoRosa-fo3it ungrouping is the same in all versions. Right click and ungroup. If the ungroup is not an option, then you may need to right-click and break path. It ultimately depends on the design and how it was created.

    Can I print first then cut later? I have a cricut but planning to switch to siser. I dont have a printer and I just have the design printed in a shop then I'll just load the design later. Will that process also work with siser?

    • @SwiftCreekCustoms

      @@midnightmia yes, as long as you are using the exact file that was printed. A printing company may not be able to open the LDS file, so you'd have to print to PDF and then have them print that. The printed page would have to match the file EXACTLY and not be scaled in any way. I would test that or invest in a printer for ease of access.

      I used this design - Ying and Yang design - bit.ly/3xdPafI affil For cut settings, I recommend test cut, test cut, test cut!!! ua-cam.com/video/OZj7n7ggrMg/v-deo.htmlsi=eVQU4S92QcvFg_Pw Typically, I use a force of 9-11 for Oracal 651, but it depends on who well used my blade is. I always test cut before I send any job, especially a big one. Not all designs cut well at a high speed. Most times I'll use a 10, but if it's intricate, I may drop that down to an 8.

    Hi. Thank you. Your videos are very helpful. I just bought my Juliet yesterday and I'm trying out print and cut on A4 glossy sticker paper (portrait orientation). Machine read the first registration mark on the lower left but always goes to the rightmost side (way beyond the registration mark and camera now on the mat) and proceeds to go up real quick to read nonexistent registration marks on the mat before it gives an error beep. What am I doing wrong?

    • @SwiftCreekCustoms
      @SwiftCreekCustoms 2 місяці тому

      Make sure that the printed page is not being scaled up or down in any way. If it is then the machine thinks the marks are in a different location than they are... usually you can see this on the actual page when compared to in the software - however, sometimes you'll need to measure it.... ua-cam.com/video/D2W5bAmGhxM/v-deo.htmlsi=YTaCLv4XAKnfRKzL That behavior is what we see when the print out is smaller than it should be.

      @EVO_Engineering you can use the align tools in the bottom toolbar bar or under the menus to align designs to each other or the edges of the mat. There is also a position that you can tell it exactly where to go in the bottom of the Properties panel. I show that in this video tour I'll link below.

    Thanks for the video. I followed all the steps but after that I am lost... I don't understand how my plotter will find where to cut whenever I put my printed design in the machine. My plotter sends out a beep signal and I don't know why it does that, it seems like it doesn't find the cut lines on the design. Do you know what I'm doing wrong maybe? Is the position of my print not right? Or maybe the start position of my knife? Thank you so much for the help if possible.
