#Silhouette curio manual

The machine is a little loud, but it is working. I am assuming since the it appears anyone can download the Silhouette Studio software, this is how the company distributes content to individuals that have purchased the device.Īfter I looked at the library, I finally went back to the cut setting and pressed Send to Silhouette. I have some new designs in my library! I clicked on the library and approximately 50 designs were added to the library. Sometime during the process of setting up the cut setting and cutting the design, this message appeared on the screen. As soon as I clicked Cardstock the Editing menu opened and displayed the recommended blade setting. Under Material Type, I clicked Cardstock was even though it was already selected. Tool 1 was selected, this was fine because that is where I put the cutting blade.

I assumed this is where the design would be cut. My design now has thick lines around it, see below. Then I had to move a few of my designs so they would be inside the cutting area. I adjusted the design page setting to match my paper size. I went back to the software and noticed that the paper size didn’t match the Design Page setting. I placed the cutting blade into the Curio in the first slot and turned on the Curio.

It seemed right, but the instruction manual did not specify. I figured out that the by placing the cap that came with the blade on to it and turning, I was able to adjust the cut size. I looked at the cutting blade and it cut was set to zero.

The instructions says “push into machine until tray sticks out back” and it says “push into machine until notch passes front of machine.” If you have trouble seeing the notch, push the tray into the machine until the top left hand corner of the material in directly under the cutting/embossing blades. I carefully placed the card stock on top, since the cutting mat has a sticky surface. I removed the film from the cutting mat and place it onto Curio’s tray according to the image on the Silhouette Studio design screen. The Curio came with a cutting mat, embossing mat, and three other mats that I later learned was platform mats.
