Cutting Printed Images. With the registration marks displayed, you are ready to perform print & cut jobs. Again, this does not mean that the Silhouette will scan and cut around any print information. Rather the Silhouette is using the registration marks to know where your cut lines are defined around your printed image. Your image must have lines around your printed image which are defined to be cut (see the Line Styles section on page 17). The following is an example of a print & cut job. In this case, your printer will see the following to print out: While the Silhouette will see the following to cut: When your job is ready, you may print it by accessing the Print option. Once printed, it is important to remember not to make any further adjustments to the document as it appears on your screen. If any objects are moved and the location of printed or cut information is altered, you will need to re-print your document. To use the Silhouette’s Automatic Registration Xxxx Reading feature, set up your job as directed in the previous section. Prior to cutting, you will be asked if you wish to Detect Registration Marks. Select this option to proceed on to the automatic detection process. The Silhouette’s optic scanner will then locate the marks for you. Once all marks are successfully detected, you may then select to cut, at which point the Silhouette will cut the defined lines around your printed image. As previously noted, Silhouette Studio® allows you to fill any image with fill colors, gradients, and patterns. Though Silhouette America does offer pre-made special print & cut images that are designed to only have print information inside and a cut edge around the outside of the image, literally any image can be turned into a print & cut image by using the tools provided in Silhouette Studio®.
