Let's try this again. 1. I did buy the upgrade, just for the .SVG import capability. I do need to investigate the other enhancements, but I do pretty much all the work in Illustrator before importing. In Studio I'm just selecting cut lines.
2. I've read that, and will keep it in mind for future need. 3. I've read that as well; there seem to be a lot of possible alternatives to the Silhouette mats. 4. After a few sheets, the tackiness is just about right; we'll see how long that lasts! 5. The key to Print and Cut is still letting Studio generate the registration marks, it would seem. Thank you for your insights; check your e-mail for the model. :-) On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 10:54 PM, Aditya Gupta <[email protected]> wrote: > Congrats for the new machine.
