Re: mat 12 x 12 but how to see paper size

I just went through this this morning. I think the answer is "you can't". SCAL doesn't seem to make a distinction between paper size and mat size. If you have your mat set to a certain size, it doesn't care (or know) what size your paper is. I partially overcame this by setting my mat size...

Re: Rommy Paper Toy Robot

Is it my imagination or does this one look better than the one cut with that "other" machine? :lol: :lol: :lol: What's even more remarkable is that the new one is smaller. I shrunk it down a bit to give the registration marks plenty of room. I'll have to experiment to see how close to the...

Re: Just got a Cameo

Up and running. Getting it going wasn't too bad, but for a complete newbie it could be frustrating. Not enough EXTREMELY clear hand-holding on how to install the blade. The instructions are basically, "make sure the blade is in all the way". Anyway. Here's my first PnC. I used the same SVG...

Re: Rommy Paper Toy Robot

Here's another ROMMY, made with my new Cameo. I took the same SVG file I made for the other one, imported it into SCAL 3, laid in a different skin template, and cut. Presto! I had a bit of trouble figuring out the registration marks in SCAL. Even though I'm using a 12x12 mat, I'm using an 8.5x11 pap...

Just got a Cameo

:D :D My new Cameo arrived tonight! I wasn't very impressed with the "out of the box" experience. The manual is not very good at walking you through getting the machine set up. But once I got it cutting, it cuts! I used SCAL 3 with it. When I tried to use "Test Cut" in SCAL 3, it...

Re: SCAL 1.016

  1. Try it and see.
  2. Probably not. Unless 2.3x is available as a selection in the drop down menu when you go to cut.
  3. I highly doubt it. SCAL 1 is ancient now. And 2.34 is fairly new.

Re: last know version

I'm using SCAL 2 2.044 with CCR which upgraded the Expression's firmware to 2.43. All is working fine. SCAL only lets you select as having up to firmware 2.3x. Again, all is working fine.

Check out this tutorial for an example of what you can do with print & cut.

Re: Help with choosing new cutting machine

Sizzix...cartridges again? How much of a pain is this? How much do they run? How is this escalate compared to regular scal? $299? Ecraft...why is this machine so inexpensive? No mat, that is a dream. But what stabilizes it? $349? Silhouette cameo...is this the same as silhouette SD? Why not this on...

Re: Help is anyone getting cut line across the cardstock

I got the new blade holder and I am still getting the drag marks. I think that I am going to return the machine. Don't be so fast to return the machine. Customer support will work with you to resolve the problem. It looks like at least one other person is having the same problem. I know it is frust...
