I don't think there is. I just checked the preference panel, and I did not see an option to bypass the home screen.

@silhouettesuccess I couldn't see anything either unless an upgrade to business would do it 🤷‍♂️. I know it's not a big issue but when I have the motivation to start it's much nicer to launch straight into a design view and get started.. its the little things lol. Thanks for looking for me too 😊

No. Silhouette Studio Basic Edition is free to download and use. There are paid upgrades to the software, but you don't have to buy them. Also, they are a one time fee, not a subscription. If you want to upgrade, look for a sale.

@@silhouettesuccess Thanks a lot.

Yes, it does. Look for a paint palette icon at the top of the screen. That is select by color. You can also find it in the Panels tab at the top.

These options are at the bottom of the screen now. Select the images, then click ignore these lines.

If you're on FB, I run a group where you can post pics with your questions.

@@silhouettesuccessI just requested to join. Thank You:)

Thank you! 😊

I like it just for the larger icons. LOL I haven't had any issues.

Is it measuring right over top of the vinyl? Make sure your media size is accurate so that it will measure in the right spot. If your material is glossy, place a piece of thin paper over the top of it. Sometimes the glare will throw it off. You can also try a reset by turning the machine off and sliding the blade carriage all the way to the right, then all the way back to the left. Repeat for a total of 3 times, then turn the machine back on. It also helps to shut the computer and machine down every now and then to reboot. Clearing leftover data solves a lot of issues.

@ It is matte vinyl so no shine. I am going to try the reset. I checked and rechecked the settings and they are correct. I am going to try the reset because now it cut somewhat but the right side is very light compared to the rest. I tried again and now it’s not cutting again.

@dr.margiea.hinojosa3282 is the blade locked in?

@@silhouettesuccess It is.

@silhouettesuccess I updated my software yesterday maybe that is the problem. I might need to uninstall and try an older version.

I'm pretty sure that the EcoTank 2850 is the replacement model of the 2720. They came out with the new line shortly after I bought mine. It looks like they have the same features, and I absolutely love mine! The ink lasts forever, and the quality is good, as long as you set your preferences to high quality. It is a bit slow, but I just send things to print, then move on to something else until it has finished. I don't have any experience with the expression premium. I am happy with the whole experience with Epson... just don't sign up for auto ship on your ink.

@@silhouettesuccess GREAT! Really appreciate your reply.. The Epson ET2850 is on sale right now at Best Buy for $199 (Reg $349) so yours handles the paper intake? The vinyls, magnets, card stocks etc?? If so, I am assuming the 2850 would also.. and no issues with ink smudging on the vinyls or magnet paper stock? Thanks again.. OH and you don’t have an affiliate link to the cameo 5?

I have used all of the materials that you listed. I had some issues with some brands of magnetic paper, but the Stone City brand works well, though. I have an affiliate link for Amazon, but not for Silhouette. amzn.to/4iI097P

I love that feature when I'm creating different templates!

Yep! The autoblade can handle thin chipboard. You will want to use the Kraft blade for anything thicker than 1mm, and it takes a few passes, but it does a nice job.

They are going in all the stockings around here! 🥰I'm making kits for my adult children, and actually filling them with pictures for the grandbabies.

I'm glad this helped! 🥰

I think it's because she's using the beta 5 version of Studio.

I am using V5. It is in beta version, but available to the public. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

No. There is a separate tool for embossing.

That is a really good idea. Thank you for that!

That does happen. 😭 The little cap was probably on too tight.

No!! I love my Cameo 5. She's just sassy every once in a while. Lol. You're going to have so much fun with it. 💞

No, but you can get the We Are Memory Keepers foil pen, and that will do the same thing.

Omgoodness! That's awesome. I'll have a look. If you ever decide to make one, let me know! Good luck with the move. That's always stressful.

Yes, they will!

@ what about the 4 plus. Apologies I should’ve asked about both….

@mrscov354 yep! It'll work in both of those models.

@ thank you so much for your prompt reply. Can’t wait to order those.

I haven't used either of those, but I have heard good reviews on the LokLik. I do have an Xtool laser engraver, and that is a good company, but I haven't heard of their heat presses until just now. A bottom platen isn't truly necessary. You can get a hand held craft press, but keep in mind that you will have to apply the pressure in that scenario, and results aren't always consistent. Overall, I would suggest the Lik-lok.

@@silhouettesuccess Thank you, by the way its Sunday afternoon here so no way was I expecting a replay until tomorrow at the earliest !!! thanks again

I decided that I didn't want the expense of a full size press and opted for the 12"×10" Cricut Easypress 2. I've been very happy with it so far. I bought direct from Cricut and they delivered it very quickly and it was very well packaged. It has adjustable temperature and timer. I press on a quartz worktop and have had good results so far. The other thing I do is use a teflon oven liner sheet between the press and the garment. This allows me to give things an extra press once I've removed the carrier if it looks like it hasn't adhered fully.

Absolutely! They have a ton of graphics, fonts, and Svg files! They can be used with any cutting machine, sublimation, or printables.

I'm not sure that I'm following. You want to cut an image from a magazine without registration marks? You can do that, but you'll need a Pixscan mat.

Is it possible without the mat? I noticed they only sell 12x12 and I have the 15 inch machine… i have the template for what cuts i want made, i am just curious if the machine will cut without registration marks?

I have to get caught up before I can play with it. 😭 I'm over here throwing temper tantrums. LOL

Thank you! I can't wait to play with it. I don't know what to do with it, but I'm sure it's going to be fun... whatever it is. 😂

@@silhouettesuccess I use my 4 Pro for cutting out large stencils and cardstock for big projects. Otherwise calques.

I had to have it, now I don't know what to do with it! 😂

It's hard to say without a picture, but I'm guessing it might be a CB09 blade?

@@silhouettesuccess I will look that up and thanks!
