When you open the silhouette program, at the top there are 3 options for design. The last one on the right, select that option the design area will change. I’ll do a video and post the link here.
Hi! Had cameo 3 for years. Most of the time in its box. Only used on vinyl so this thing with registration marks was new to me. Game changer. But doesnt seem to do anything. Just testing using normal copy paper on cameos cutting mat. Sends it to registration/cut, it moves over to to the mat and stops. Displays says job complete. ??? Thats it. Got a new mac 2021 and had to get the newest software. Testet cutting on vinyl. Did great. So the cuttting part works
Something similar happened to me when I got my desktop. It was a software download issue. Make sure to keep the software up to date. I notice that it doesn’t automatically update like it’s supposed to so a manual check is definitely a must. As long as there is no damage to the laser, you should be good after the update.
Ok, so I was seriously skeptical that opening that tray would make a difference but sure enough, it did the trick! Thanks for the tip! I didn't even know that tray was there.
Thank you Sooooo much!! I have this problem here and there and just couldn't figure out what the issue was. Sometimes it cuts with no issue and another time it takes me two days! LOL This has solved the mystery!!!! Pam Allen
I've been I sing the tray for years, there are also litter "fold out" supports in the tray to make it "longer"... I got the registration mark error for the fist time today. It's not scanning for it in the correct area... therefore "can't find" the registration marks...
Check to make sure the registration boxes are not dull in color. If they are, use a Sharpie or alcohol based marker and slowly fill it in. That also helps when there is a registration error.
I know this may sound silly but when you are in your SEND section, did you change it to pen? I always forget to do that! Mine glitches sometimes so I have to close out silhouette and reopen it. Also update your firmware. Hope that helps.
Thank you for the video. Can you tell me where did you purchase the paper with the registration marks, and if this is the only way to cut using this paper?
This is the sticker paper I used amzn.to/2QL5rqV from Amazon. After you open the Silhouette Program, on the right hand side at the top there is an icon that looks like a piece of paper, select that, then a page setup window pops up, right below where it says Page Setup there are 3 icons, select the one with 3 marks. Hope this helps. :)
A lot of variables are involved, like if youre using Silhouette Cutting Mat or a Generic Cutting Mat. This may be an issue since generic mats tend to be thicker which throws off the depth of cut since its defaulted to Silhouettes Cutting Mat thickness.
New to Silhouette. Do you have a tutorial on the process of how to print and cut from the beginning? Also, on my computer it has the registration marks but when I send it to the printer it’s faded lines almost to a point you can’t see it. I have black ink
Sure. I can do a tutorial for print and cut. I would run a clean print head. That issue typically is when the ink is almost out or the head cleaning is dirty. If you do that and it doesn’t work, take a fine line sharpie and carefully fill in the square. I’ll post the link here once the video is uploaded.
Ahh I understand. So when you go to your cut window to send, you have to select all the lines you don’t want cut and click no cut. I found this to be annoying and tedious with the silhouette. I will do a video to show you and others since it’s such a small detailed and commonly overlooked.
