Print and Cut out of alignment

[bidgeeman]

Hi,
I really need some help with getting my SB to cut where it is supposed to.
Trying to do a print and cut the SB always cuts about 5 mm out. I do
everything according to instructions but cannot get it to cut properly.
Can someone please help me?

Thanks
Bidge

Hey bidgeeman ....sounds like you need to Calibrate your cutter.......

You haven't given a lot of information so it's hard to know where to start. Have you calibrated your machine? When you do a test pirnt and cut after calibrating it, do you get a good cut? It may be as simple as adjusting your calibration figures. I always recommend starting with a square or rectangle so it is easy to see what needs to be adjusted. Details on how to do that are in the learning center. There is also a great video in the forum (and on YouTube) showing exactly how to do a print and cut.

Were you ever able to get an accurate print and cut? If so has anything changed? If you move the machine or get a new printer, it is always a good idea to recalibrate.

Sorry for the late reply,
Yes Penny. I think you're right
I took a look at the learning center video on calibrating and don't remember seeing all that info the last time I visited it. I must have still been in shock at receiving the SB

I'll go through it again. Thanks!

Cheers

You're most welcome!! Good Luck bidgeeman you'll be SO AMAZED and the precisness of the print and cut once you calibrate!!!

Hi Penny.
I calibrated today and got it absolutely perfect to where it's splitting hairs at how close it is to the cut line. After that I made about 200 3D fold out 3D business cards and the SB performed wonderfully.

Many thanks again to all.
Cheers
