I seen on another sticker video if you create two cut lines change the inner color differently then when you go to cut advance will let you choose the inner color to cut the sticker at force 1, then reload your sheet then at cut the outer color that has a different cut force to cut all the way through the paper then you just have everything as indivisual stickers theat looks great
Yep! Multiple ways things can be done in the software. But no need to reload the sheet, you can do it all in one go of you are using an autoblade.
You do not want to Unload the mat or there's a chance it might not line up exactly again.
Actually, I chose your video because it was so long… I thought to myself “hmmm I bet she has a lot of tips!” Lol and indeed you do- thanks for making it. I do troubleshooting too (in another arena) and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure… its totally a cliche for a reason. That’s 26 minutes well spent in my book.
Thank you!
this was awesome, do you have more videos or do you do these on a regular basis somewhere.
Yes, more videos on the TH-cam channel

If you’re printing on clear sticker paper, would you fill the circle in white and then reduce the opacity to zero?
It's not necessary as most printers do not print white as a color.... white printers are very expensive, so most users don't have that option, but yes, if you happen to have a printer that does, then you would use a different option or turn the opacity down.
If I add a laminate sheet on top do I have to chenge the cut settings
Yes. Test cut, test cut, test cut.
It can also affect the optical eye reading the registration marks accurately if you cover them.
Hi, thank you for the video. When I cut the machine cuts the entire page and not just the upper page as in your case. What mistake am i doing. Please answer.
I don't understand your question. The machine will cut wherever you have cut lines turned on.
What would cause the diagonal lines under the registrations page to be faded? Mine are not as dark as yours and i can barely see them
I'm sorry... I don't understand. Do you mean the page transparency to reveal the grid of the mat?
Page Setup panel - Tab 1 = transparency slider to reveal grid.
Is that what you mean?
Please, again, what exactly Staples sticker paper do you recommend??
This is the Staples Sticker paper I've been using for years - amzn.to/3RWQe30 affil
Why doesn't my text stay grouped within a circle? I'm trying to create a label with text in the center and then on the inside of the circle. Whenever I want to duplicate it to fill a page, only some of the text is duplicated - the center stays open - it does not copy the center text. I've spent countless hours starting from scratch again, rewatching the video. I recently upgraded to the Silhouette plus software. I'm so frustrated!
Did you use the Text to Path to bring text in the shape of the circle? If so, did you right click on it and choose Convert to Path before grouping and copying?
Here is a little bit more on the Text to Path, if that is how it was created.... silhouette-secrets.com/2022/04/10/lets-explore-v4-text-to-path-2/
Thank you - I’ll give it another whirl tomorrow. I have not used the text to path. I appreciate your time & response!!
Is there a specific way to set up uploaded png files for print and cut? I have seen many different ways to create print and cut files but I never know what type of file being used or there from the design store, or seems to be completely different version of software. I am transitioning from Cricut so have always used the offset tool and then flatten to create kiss cut stickers, but it doesn't seem that simple in Silhouette studio! If you have any specific resources for print and cut png images, I'd love to check it out!
It should be as easy as Open PNG, create the cut line, and you have your sticker.
Silhouette does not use "flatten" - it doesn't have to be flattened at all.
Select the cut line and png image and group. Then your object moves as one.
If you have Autotrace on - it will trace transparent PNG files - but there can be bugs and it can be data heavy.
silhouette-secrets.com/2020/08/09/lets-explore-v4-4-autotrace-png-files/
Or you can trace the PNG to get the outer cut lines - here are several Trace tools
silhouette-secrets.com/trace-panel-tabs/
Or you can simply draw a shape as I show in the video - here's more on the drawing tools - silhouette-secrets.com/2019/09/17/lets-explore-v4-drawing-tools/
The exact steps depend on what kind of PNG you are opening and what you want to do with it.
@@SilhouetteSecrets Thank you so much, I will review all these. I noticed when I open the png it already has a red outline around the image. If I want to create an offset it looks like there is two cut lines - would I just select the inner cut line to no cut?
@curlyjaden yes, or just delete the inner cut line if you don't need it.
@@SilhouetteSecrets Thank you so much, just made my first cuts - wasn't kiss cut but I'm sure I can adjust that! I appreciate the quick responses!
Hello . What if I want to print & cut my own pic , how I can do that ?
Open it in Silhouette.
Add cut lines by either drawing a shape around it or Tracing the image and set up as a print and cut.

If I only use half of the sheet, can I print something out on it later?
You can try, but it may jam in the printer. Each printer will vary in if it can handle that type of work or not.
I've tried everything you said and still have issues
Without seeing what you are doing, I can't even guess why it might not work. I'd recommend trying again with the video and follow it step-by-step, watch it closely to see why it's not working.
Is it because something wasn't selected when you turn the cut lines off?
Is it the design? Is it how it was created? Is it grouped together?
Can we save cutting files?
Yes. File > Save in the top left corner. I save all files to my external hard drive.
Hello, I was wondering how I can remove background from a photo on Cameo 3? I don't seem to have the magnet trace. Help please...
There are several trace tools.... what you have will be dependent on your level of software upgrade....

@@SilhouetteSecrets so should i upgrade the software? I had issues last time, so I had to uninstall years ago. I just want to trace around the image I want from a photo
@@mariamarcelo702 upgrades are different than updates....

An update may be where you had issues

I have a problem with the studio...when I copy an image to fill up a page then print it out 4 or 5 images will be fine and the rest of the images on the page will look faded out....what on earth is causing this?
No idea - this is the first time I've ever heard that happening. It looks faded on the screen or on the print out? or both?
@@SilhouetteSecrets on the screen looks fine normal colors....when it prints out is where I have my problem.
@@ErickTiki That is odd behavior and not something I've encountered when troubleshooting. If you save as a pdf file and print outside of Silhouette - does it still do it?
What version of the software are you currently using? Under Help > About Silhouette - what are all the numbers? For instance, v4.4.554?
@@SilhouetteSecrets Im using the business edition 4.5.152ssbe Build#2847980/2202.01/22.1 have not tried as you suggested I will do that and report back....I just had a thought and will also try a different printer.
@@ErickTiki I would also recommend uninstalling v4.5.152 and install v4.4.554 and see if it still happens.

It's shows ''registration Failed'' and don't even try to cut. Where am I wrong and how to fix that?
That's usually something wrong in the setup or in how the mat is being loaded. Without seeing actual photos, I can only guess.... follow this setup exactly and make sure all the marks print, everything matches exactly, and the mat is loaded properly
