I am having such problems with it. It's like a hit or miss. Only once did I get a good cut and this was on test paper. I really want to do some fussy cutting with some graphic 45 paper. I can't get the calibration correct. I have used my cell which is a Samsung Note 2 as well as my little sony. Can you offer any other advice? How can I manipulate the image? I am so lost. But hope you can help.

They hid it! Thanks for this. Print & cut working normal again. When testing i put the same images on the left & right sides of the paper (landscape) and I noticed the same thing you did - the right side is a tiny bit off - not much but when you cut the same image on both sides you can really see the difference. Thanks again.sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863839635532475280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846675886332907819.post-45061741557802611482014-08-12T20:04:08.843-05:002014-08-12T20:04:08.843-05:00Hi Sterling, Here is something for you to try. Thi...Hi Sterling, Here is something for you to try. This will probably fix your PnC regular cut issues.<br /><br />1. Close Silhouette Studio<br /><br />2. Clear preferences (if you need instructions, please let me know)<br /><br />3. Open Silhouette Studio<br /><br />4. Go to the “Send to Silhouette” screen<br /><br />5. Right-click and select “Calibration”<br /><br />6. Print out a calibration page and put it on your regular mat<br /><br />7. Move the blade with the arrows over to be near the cross mark and press the button to “Calibrate”<br /><br />8. Assuming it is spot on, leave it alone<br /><br />9. Exit out and try your print and cut job again<br /><br /><br />Sometimes pushing through a single calibration test tells the machine that it is actually calibrated and corrects any concern. It’s like the machine is confused until the software tells it that it is supposed to be calibrated and the machine falls back in line.<br /><br />I hope this helps.

It works fantastic for all of the images on the left hand side of my page, but seems to be a bit off on the right hand side. I know this sounds like strange behavior and I just sent an email to Silhouette about this issue. My first set of camera images (paper doll and clothes) were perfect and the others since have been slightly off; leaving white on the edges.I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my beloved PnC features so this really bothers me. Hopefully, I can figue out something to make them better. I know Silhouette has been extremely busy so I'm patiently waitig for things to slow down and hopefully get some better answers to these peculiar things. <br /><br />I have to say; I am jealous that you were able to get you some good scanned images. I've yet to get this part of PixScan to work well for me. Usually, I get the hang of things fairly quickly, but the scanner and PixScan have been my frustration. I totally understand how you must have felt when you were having problems. PixScan is a wonderful concept. I know I'll be using it to cut scraps of various media, but I would love to be able to get the scanning portion to work.

I did get some decent cuts after alot of playing but it is like hit or miss on accepting pictures or even the machine registering the registration marks. I did get some really good cuts using the scanned in image (no good ones on the camera ones) it was just a tiny bit off. I did a regular print & cut to see if i needed to calibrate - my print & cuts were awful completely off & skewed. Tries in V2.9 works fine. ??????<br />Could you test your regular print & cuts to see if yours is ok?

In the end I managed it with my Camera but I'm not sure I'll be using the PixScan option although being in the UK where the mat's aren't available yet although I may change my mind when they are for sale here.DJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262560247690895406noreply@blogger.com
