Calibrate Cricut in SCAL 2.041 settings
Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 9:30 am
Located under Cutter at the top...then Calibrate
On my mat the print and cut settings seemed right on 0 along the X(adjusts the edge that feeds into the cutter) and off by a quarter inch by the Y(top edge of mat), for paper placement.
So, I started at X:0 and Y: 25
I ended at X: 6 and Y: 37 for a perfect print and cut with my cardstock right on the mat lines as they should be.
I have my preference on Illustrator, and the scaling on the cricut I changed to inches by 1/10ths.
I did a hundred zillion tests to get to this...hope it helps someone.
Every time SCAL is reopened for P&C this has to be reset.
Note: when I was doing the TEST cuts to try to arrive at these numbers, I changed mat size to 12x12, and checked cut offsets.
But once I got the numbers that worked for me...I don't change that now. I just enter the 6 and 37 and hit OK.
