You tip on positioning the page higher than the mat grid worked like a charm, solving my Auto Registering Problems. Thanks so much for this great tip because I was very frustrated with my Silhouette Cameo 4.
This has been a great series, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Have a wonderful Christmas
Thank you, Glennis. I'm so glad that you liked the series. Merry Christmas!
Hello I’m new to your channel and I have to say this is a great video simple and step by step thanks!!! Please keep them coming I just subscribed
Once again, you are a rock star! I don’t know why I didn’t just look here in the first place! Thank you!
Morton Family Tree - Aww, thanks so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. :)
Thank you so much! I love the top about changing the packet size! I have had that dreaded line across the page a few times and was so frustrated! Love your videos!!
Amy Papale - I'm so glad that you're enjoying the videos! Ah, the dreaded line across the page. Sorry you've experienced that, too. I hope that changing the packet size resolves the issue for you!
Thank you for the tips. I had problem with cutting. It was cutting off few mm and now, when i moved the designs more away from the registration marks (off the grid)... it started cutting right as it should. Thank you again ♥
The best explanation in the topic. Thank you a lot! Hugs from a Brazilian living in Finland 🇧🇷🇫🇮💜
drika rezende - Hello and thank you! I'm so glad that the video was helpful for you. :)
WOW, thanks Kristen I was also using plain paper PNC marks stuck to foil paper to PNC. Thanks to everyone who suggested the matte sticker paper. Another great video! Happy Holidays everyone!
The matte sticker paper tip is a great one, isn't it? Thanks so much for watching, Linda, and Happy Holidays!
I just traded with someone local my cricut maker for a silhouette cameo 4 and I couldn't be happier with the quality!
Always great instruction!
Thanks so much, Robin!
Nice. This is, effectively, the Cliff Notes version of the storehouse you've opened for us over the past few months. Thanks for all of this! The only improvement is that, instead of speeding up the video as the machine does its work, you should've slowed things to 10%. "Finally, here's a free lesson in patience."
Thanks, Keith! Glad that you enjoyed the series. Merry Christmas!
Your channel is my go-to when I am stuck on something and can't figure it out. You speak so clearly and explain things thoroughly without leaving any details out or rambling. Your camera and angles are perfect and everything is so easy to understand. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for your viewers. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
One question I have- how do you make the machine cut all the way through instead of doing a kiss cut? I just recently switched over to silhouette from a Cricut maker so this is all still new to me and I haven't been able to figure it out! I apologize if it was covered in the video. Currently chasing my 2 toddlers around and get distracted occasionally because of them! (I am doing stickers with glossy sticker paper)
Great question! I don't think I've done an in-depth, step-by-step of sticker cutting (and the settings that I use) in a video yet. What I do is set the sticker sheet border up with a different line color than the sticker borders, and I cut them by line color. If you haven't seen my video about making print & cut sticker sheets from a font, I show how I set this up starting at about the 12 minute mark. This link should take you to the correct spot in the video: ua-cam.com/video/_IXSsi3VVCw/v-deo.htmlm21s
When I actually cut the file, I'll typically kiss cut the stickers at a blade depth of 1-3 (depending on how thick the sticker paper is) and a single cut, and I'll cut the sticker sheet border the whole way through at a blade depth of 5-6 with a double cut. If you have a Silhouette Cameo and two blades, you can set the stickers to cut with the red (left) tool (autoblade or ratchet blade) and the sticker sheet to cut with the blue (right) tool (ratchet blade). If you have a machine that only has a single tool holder, you can cut the stickers first, switch the blade settings, then cut the sticker page border last.
Hope this helps! I really should make a video about this. :)
Thank you so much for the kind words, Lily Stitch. I truly appreciate it, and I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you so much.
great tutorial. works for me fine with matte printable inkjet foil. but i got a major issue, when i cover the foil for protection purposes (e. g. scratches) with shiny laminate foil: the cut is not correctly on the cot lines and on every picture somekind disortet by random.
The help for calibrations on the SOA site sucks! Could you please do a walk through for Silhouette studio 4? Thank you
I am a newbie but you have answered a lot of my questions thank you very much !! I do have another question I have made sure all is correct in page set up and cut and it all shows 81/2 by 11 but the machine still cuts to the right of the design i am cutting and cuts part of the image on my mat . do you have any ideas for me to fixt this?
A heartfelt thanks for this video!
Hélène Alonso I agree that it can sometimes be tricky to get everything working properly. I've been lucky so far in that I haven't had too many issues with print and cut, but I have had the same thing happen with my Autoblade as you're experiencing. For me, it's only happening once in a while, but it's obviously not great when the autoblade isn't being set to the proper blade depth, even though it's doing the tapping thing and should be adjusting.
Silhouette America has a troubleshooting page for the issue, and one of the things that they mention is that the Autoblade can sometimes raise slightly in the housing when you go to lock it into the holder. I've been trying to pay more attention to that and have been doing as they suggested and keeping one finger on top of the blade when I lock it in so it doesn't raise at all, and since I've been doing that I haven't had the blade adjustment problem, so you may want to give this a try if you haven't already.
That's lovely, thank you so much for your answer! I'll definitely try that :) I also tried your advice of shutting down the top of the machine during registration these last few days, and it worked every time! I can't believe the time I lost trying to shine a light on the paper (and still not getting it everytime). I had seen the light advice on another video, but I must admit that the shutting of the cover is so much easier.
@@helenealonso6767 I'm so glad that closing the lid on the machine during registration worked for you, too, and I hope that the trick that Silhouette mentioned about the autoblade works out for you, as well!
First time in 5 years with my Silhouette I've heard someone say close the lid.. I was like no way - that is not going to work. Sure enough, it did! ha! Thanks. Definitely had too many shadows going on with my overhead lighting. I would have never thought to try that.
Pastrychef5122 - I'm so glad to hear that the close the lid trick worked for you, too!

🤔?
My printer does not print a clean line for the bottom left registration (not a solid black line) so my cameo 1 can't read the registration marks, help please, any suggestions?
What i dont understand is how do I create the outlines for artwork within Silhouette studio, like I already have an outline setup for my art and know how to add a stroke along the outline... but why dont your outlines show up when you print the artwork? How can I create these invisible outlines?
I keep getting an Incompatible Materials setting when trying to cut Plain Card Stock (65lb). I updated SSDE software and the Silhouette Cameo 4 firmware. Any suggestions on what I need to do to fix this issue?
What’s the exact paper material
What printer can I use that would be able to print on the glossy sticker paper you use at the end?
Carmen Dubon - I used a color laser printer to print the stickers in the video, but you can also use an inkjet printer to print on the Silhouette brand sticker paper. I've gotten good results with both.
are you able to use transparent printable vinyl
with you laser printer?
Ami D - Most printable vinyls that I've seen are made for inkjet printing, so I wouldn't take the chance and use them with a laser printer because they could damage or even ruin the printer. I think that there are laser printable vinyls on the market, but they may not be rated to the temperature that your laser printer gets to. If you plan on using a printable vinyl for laser printers, just make sure that it's rated to a temperature that's higher than the temperature that your laser printer can get up to.
Hi I have a question that cannot be solved maybe you can help me 😭 So I need to cut these blue circles with no offset border, just round blue circles. But it always cuts on some of them off, so on the sticker I can see a bit of the white background paper. I tried calibration but it was pretty much on the crosses and also the distance was exactly at 20cm.
I noticed that this inaccurancy is mostly in the upper half and on each of them less or more severe some of them turn out perfectly.
I cut in good lighting, chose the right paper size and place it perfectly on the mat. Of course there are ways to get these circles but I am just frustrated knowing my machine is cutting off ;( I use epson printer on highest quality also have the latest version of silhouette studio…. Thanks😞❤️
Same🤬 it cuts fine on the upper half of the mat but the alignment is off on the lower half of the mat 🤯
I am really having a big struggle with these registration marks.
First of all my cutting area is bigger than the print area (no one else is having that) and even adjusting the registration marks wasn't helping because it couldn't reach the corners of the cutting area. Therefore the scanner thing couldn't reach the marks.
Another thing I've noticed is that I don't even have this option to choose a type of registration marks (not sure if with a newer version they took it out of the software).
I just started and because of this issue I can't really work with my portrait 2. I couldn't seem to find any help online so I hope anyone here can help me out..
Quagganova - What version of Silhouette Studio are you working with? You may be able to resolve the issues that you're having by updating to a newer version if you're using a much older version.
What printer do you use ?
never mind found it in your description ! : )
So...my software doesn’t have the “style” option under the Registration Marks tab, and the marks don’t line up with the cut lines! 😭
adjones87 same 😫
Millie Palmer So the Silhouette people said the new software doesn’t have the style option and the lines don’t have to meet up. I’m still communicating with them on the issue.
:/ i finally made my silhouette find the registration marks by doing it manually.. annoying how it cant do it automatically, but at least i am able to do print and cut now. (Finally got it to work today after lookig everywhere for solutions..) hope they give you some more explanation since it doesnt work like it should!
There is no type
