Equipment for Printing in Color
First, make sure you have the right equipment for printing in color. You need a compatible printer that uses inkjet or dye sublimation ink cartridges and media. You can find a list of compatible printers on the Silhouette website.
Print Settings
Once you have the right equipment, you’ll need to adjust your printer settings before printing. To get the best results, select the “photo” or “best photo” setting on your printer. This will ensure that your colors are printed accurately and that they look vibrant.
Print Media
The type of media you use also affects how your prints turn out.
For best results, use high-quality cardstock or photo paper. This will help ensure that your colors look vibrant and that they last longer.
Design Setup
Once you have all the right equipment and settings, it’s time to design your project in Silhouette Studio.

Printing Your Design
Once all of your layers are set up correctly, it’s time to print! Select File > Print from the top menu bar and then follow the instructions on-screen. Make sure to check your print preview before printing to make sure everything looks correct.
Conclusion: With the right equipment, settings and media type, printing in color with Silhouette Studio is easy and fun!
