Hi There-
I am brand new to the SB & to SCAL. I use the SB for my product packaging.
I purchased it to make the same cut over & over again...5 same shaped ovals from a piece of 80# cardstock. I am hoping to do more with the SB as soon as I learn more about the machine.
Everything is set-up, calibrated, etc.
I put reg marks in the graphics program I use, then printed that out from the graphics program, then put it through the SB to cut. Everything has lined up perfectly and I am so pleased. I feel unsure & a tad intimidated by the SB.
My question is this:
Do I need to line up the reg marks w/ the laser on every piece I cut if I am doing the same cut over & over again, and I place the paper in the same place on the mat each time? I did push the repeat button, but I didn't know where to position my mat and it cut off my paper. I am so new that I am not sure what my next step is for that.
I would love any suggestions on how to make repeated same cuts go a bit faster.
Also, how do I tell if my machine is calibrated successfully? The calibration steps were such a mystery. I followed the video & written instructions, and it did not go exactly like what was being described. It cut fine after my 5th/6th attempt at calibration, so I am hoping that means it is calibrated properly. Do I need to do anything more with that, or is there ever time I would need to recalibrate?
Thank you for your help!
