Printed an image and need to cut(answered)

Post by KeyWestKelly »

So I told you I'd be asking more questions! ;)
I "thought" I miscounted and printed an extra sheet of my images only to realize that I do need it. It's tshirt paper so I'd rather not just throw it away. Is there anyway to cut it or just use good old scissors?

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you are asking. Scissors are always an option.
You could lighten the pressure and blade depth and do print and cut.
Look for tutorials on svgcuts.com for print and cut with ecal.
My pictures and files are available for a limited time only.

if the paper you have has not printed with the targets/registration marks on it, the machine will not be able to find where it needs to cut.

you might be able to reprint it and get everything to line up but I would look up how to do the hinge method of print & cut and do that instead.

OK so you waste a sheet of paper - but that can be any old cheap paper. at least it should save the t-shirt one.

other then that, good ole scissors are the next best option - or a craft knife - depends on your skill level :)
