How Do I Calibrate My Silhouette PixScan?

Silhouette PixScan is an amazing tool that allows you to easily and accurately cut out any design or shape from a printed paper or cardstock. With this tool, you can easily create intricate designs and shapes that are impossible to achieve with scissors and other cutting tools.

But before you can use the Silhouette PixScan, it’s important to make sure it is properly calibrated. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies. The first thing you’ll need to do is gather your supplies and materials. You’ll need a regular 8.5 x 11-inch piece of paper, a Silhouette PixScan mat, a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait cutting machine, and the Silhouette Studio software installed on your computer.

Step 2: Print Your Target Image. Once you’ve gathered all of your supplies, the next step is to print out your Target image on the 8.5 x 11-inch paper. Make sure that the image fits within the outline of the mat so that it will be properly scanned into the Silhouette Studio software.

Step 3: Calibrate Your Mat. After printing out your Target image, place it onto the PixScan mat and then place the mat onto your cutting machine’s workspace.

Open up the Silhouette Studio software on your computer and select “Calibrate” from the dropdown menu at the top of the screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your mat, then save your settings before exiting out of this window.

Step 4: Upload Your Target Image into Silhouette Studio Software. Now that your mat has been calibrated successfully, it’s time to upload your Target image into the Silhouette Studio software so that it can be cut out accurately by your cutting machine. To do this, select “Open” from the dropdown menu at the top of the screen and then find and select your Target image file from its saved location on your computer.

Step 5: Cut Out Your Target Image. Once you’ve uploaded your Target image into Silhouette Studio software, select “Cut” from its dropdown menu at the top of screen. Follow any additional instructions that may appear in order to ensure that everything is set up correctly for cutting out your Target image accurately with precision and detail using either a blade or pen tool depending on what type of material you are working with for this project. Then press “Send” when prompted in order for this process to begin automatically with no further input needed from you as long as everything has been set up correctly beforehand!

Conclusion:

“Calibrating Your Silhouette PixScan” is an essential step in making sure that any design or shape can be cut out accurately with precision and detail using either a blade or pen tool depending on what type of material being used for this project.

By following these 5 steps – gathering supplies; printing out Target images; calibrating mats; uploading images into Silhouette Studio software; and then finally cutting out images – anyone should be able to successfully complete their project using their very own calibrated Silhoutte PixScan!
