Having trouble with your Silhouette reading registration marks? This issue could be caused by a variety of factors, including settings on the Silhouette machine, settings in the software, or even the material being used. In this article we’ll look at some of the possible causes and solutions for why your Silhouette isn’t reading registration marks.
Settings on the Machine
The first thing to check is the settings on your Silhouette machine. If it’s set to “Cut without Mat” then it won’t be able to read registration marks.
Make sure that it’s set to “Cut with Mat” instead. You should also check that the blade is deep enough, as a shallow blade won’t be able to cut through thicker materials which can interfere with registering marks.
Settings in Software
If everything appears to be in order with your machine settings, then you should check the settings in your software. Make sure that you have enabled registration marks for cutting and that you’ve selected the correct size for them. You should also double-check that you’ve selected the correct material type for your project so that the software can adjust its settings accordingly.
Material Type
If all of this still doesn’t solve your problem, then it could be related to what type of material you’re using. Some materials such as vinyl or cardstock are better suited for registering than others such as tissue paper or fabric which can make it difficult for machines to register due to their texture and thickness. If you’re using one of these types of materials then switching out may help solve your issue.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if your Silhouette machine isn’t reading registration marks then there are a few things that could be causing this issue including incorrect settings on the machine itself or in software, or even what type of material is being used. Checking all these factors should help narrow down what’s causing this issue and help get your projects back on track!
