Hi Everyone,
I am feeling a bit desperate for help, so I am hoping someone might be able to guide me. I just upgraded to SCAL 4 and I have been trying (for days!) to do a scan2cut. I have read the documentation and watched every YouTube and LC video I could find. Took copious notes. Before I state my problem, let me tell you what I have done so far:
Scanned an image.
Adjusted it in PhotoShop and saved it as a PNG.
Loaded Image in Scan2cut and aligned the green boxes over the dots, then aligned the crosshairs over the dots.
Did a trace and set the blackout option.
Checked the preview for reg marks - A-OK
Printed the image. I put the blackout layer behind the color layer for printing.
This is where the the trouble starts (2 issues):
Issue 1: My image prints poorly - looks like a low res scan. I scanned it at 350 dpi.
Issue 2: When I am finished with the Scan2Cut portion and it places it on my mat, it places it in the upper left corner of the mat. The dots are aligned perfectly in Photoshop, but are not alligned on the mat. They are off the left and top margins. If I try to move the image to the center of the mat, the reg marks remain in place.
I have tested the image by printing in directly from Photoshop and it's fine.
I have calibrated my machine and tested a simple print and cut. It's fine.
I have not tried to cut yet.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Cheryl
