How Do I Reset My Silhouette Mat?

Resetting your Silhouette Mat is an important part of maintaining the optimal cutting performance of your Silhouette machine. Resetting the mat will help to ensure that your machine is cutting accurately and consistently. Fortunately, resetting your Silhouette mat is a relatively simple process that can be done in just a few easy steps.

Step 1: Begin by cleaning your mat with a lint-free cloth and removing any debris or loose bits of paper that may be stuck to it. You should also use a damp cloth to remove any adhesive residue that may have accumulated over time.

Step 2: Use the appropriate tool for your machine (i.e., scraper or spatula) to gently scrape away any remaining adhesive residue from the surface of the mat. Be careful not to scratch or damage the mat in the process.

Step 3: Place your Silhouette mat on a flat surface, making sure it is aligned correctly with the edge of the table. Then, press down firmly on each corner of the mat to ensure it has adhered securely to the surface.

Step 4: Turn on your Silhouette machine and open up the software application. In the software, select “Reset Mat” from the “Settings” menu.

Step 5: Place a piece of cardstock onto your Silhouette mat and select “Reset Mat” again from the “Settings” menu. This will calibrate and reset your Silhouette machine so it can accurately detect where you want it to cut.
