I used soapy water in a spray bottle and I was able to shift the vinyl skin around then squeegeed out any water until it was perfectly aligned.

I've heard of people doing that but wasn't sure how it was done. I need to try that out the next time I print a new skin. So, it 'doesn't really affect the adhesiveness?

Hi, I only have a question, what is the size of the document? how do you know its going to fit? thanks..
@andystandys
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question. The template file provided by Roland is done in the correct size. When you open it and work on it in Illustrator, you are also working on it in the correct size - as long as you don't resize it by mistake or something. (I don't know how other graphics programs would handle it but I assume it would be the same.) Then, when you print it you have to make sure the printer prints it 1:1 and doesn't scale it up or down at all. I hope this helps!

Is the Silhouette a vinyl cutter? I have never used one. I have only used the one shown in my video. (And even then, I'm not the one "using" it - the staff at the library set it all up and print the pieces.) Not sure if I can be much help. I would think it has to do with a specific calibration of the cutter.
