@@laurencec09 Did you check the box to Mirror Displays under Arrangement in settings? I show this at 1:55 in the video. At 1:38 I open the settings to get to that part. After you click to mirror you should be able to change the Display resolution if you need make changes. I hope that fixes it for you. Let me know if it doesn’t and I will try to find another solution.

@@LittleGraySquirrel Ok so I tried this, I mean it kinda worked but only if it wasn't optimised for the ultrawide, image just looks veryyy widescreen now but usable

They have been working on their website. It has not gone well. This should let you download the software at this link. Choose the one for Windows or Mac whichever computer you have, no need to buy an upgrade until you are ready for it. www.silhouetteamerica.com/softwares

I have heard that they have redone their website which has been causing problems. I believe it was only supposed to take a day but it has taken quite a bit longer.

You are welcome 😊

I don't have a lot of knowledge about wi-fi and connectivity but I did figure out how to switch the printer so it will turn itself on when you try to print from your phone. It was driving me crazy too. Hopefully that is the issue you are having. I have the steps on my post about the printer www.littlegraysquirrel.com/wide-format-inkjet-printer-for-craft-room/ Scroll down on the post or select section 6 in the Table of Contents "How to change the Canon Printer to Auto Power On".

Thanks so much. I will try.

Thank you so much for the information about the printers auto on. I think that was the missing piece on my end. After switching the printer to auto on I rebooted my router and reconnected the printer. Now it will stay connected to my devices. Thanks so much.

@@kristie3963 Excellent!

Thank you 😊 My goal is to be helpful, especially with print and cut.

You are welcome! I’m so happy I could help.

Thank you 😊

What software are you using for your image? Or is your image already 12x12? I can make you a video this evening to show how. You need to use the rear feed slot. Change the printer settings using the touch screen to change the size to 12x12, be using an image that is 12x12 and have the preferences in the print dialog box set to 12x12.

@@LittleGraySquirrel I don't know what i did but it is now printing 12x12. I think I had it set to plain paper instead of cardstock.

@@little.iodine Yes, that makes sense. Changing the paper type to cardstock will let you choose the 12x12 size. I’m glad it is working for you now.

I usually just choose the setting for the paper type I am using. I would probably use matte presentation or premium matte for cardstock (I think those were options, my craft room and printer is packed up right now). Cardstock is pretty porous/fibrous. You might look into pre made cards to print on or something with a smoother surface that will have a more vivid print.

You are welcome! I hope you have as much fun with it as I do.

You are welcome 😊 My craft room is torn apart right now to redo the floor. I will measure it and get back to you as soon as I can.

@@LittleGraySquirrel thank you!

@@LittleGraySquirrel thank you!!

I’m so glad you found it helpful. I hope I can help. What software are you printing from? You can only print 12” wide from the rear feeder.

You are very welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.

I will try. I have a few questions. What kind of ink are you using? Factory or third party? Have you done a print head cleaning or tested the print from the printer touch screen? What program are you printing from? What kind of material are you printing on?

Hi. I am using factory ink. I did all the head cleaning stuff, but I don't know how to do a print test from the printer touch screen. I am printing from Word. I am printing on tissue paper, but when I print on regular copy paper, I have the same color issue. I just printed something from Cricut design space, and the black doesn't even seem to be as dark as it should be. @@LittleGraySquirrel

Yes, you can connect via Ethernet cable however the printer does not come with the cable (only a power cord). The Ethernet port is right above the power port.

Excellent! I’m so happy I could help you. Let me know if you need any more help.

It does look similar in size but the decals or place where they would go look a little different. There looks to be a lot more raised parts on the Droid Depot droids. Some of them might fit. I used a digital caliper and created the template in Silhouette Studio to create this cut file. You could do the same to create decals for the Droid Depot droids. The cut file is free for my newsletter subscribers and you can unsubscribe anytime so you can test cut a few pieces to see if it works.

@@LittleGraySquirrel thanks for the quick response.

You can if you would like but if you are on a newer software version (4.4 and above?) it doesn’t matter anymore. You just log into the library in the Silhouette Software and you will be able to use your upgrade on any computer. I believe it is still limited to three at a time so it will log you out of the first one when if you log into a fourth computer.

I connected to my MBP M1 via the USB-C and works like a charm. just plugin

I got it from Amazon. Here is the video about the table. ruclips.net/video/OJ-JRjfZa5s/видео.html the link is in the description.

Unfortunately a Chromebook is not capable of installing or running Silhouette Studio software. Your computer needs to have a windows or Mac operating system and meet the minimum system requirements. There is a mobile app called Silhouette Go that you can use on an android or iPhone or iPad but it is quite limited. You would need a Cameo 3, Portrait 2, Cameo 4, or Portrait 3 machine because those have Bluetooth capability. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Oh no! At 4:52 in the video I show how to open the rear slot. Lift the cover, extend the support, lift the inner cover piece, slide the blue guides apart to the size of your material. Insert the material and slide the blue guides towards the material if needed so they are along side the material. Then lower the inner cover that has the little roller on it. That part has to be down for it to print. If the LCD screen prompts you to choose your material and size, go ahead and do that. Then in your printer preferences on your computer select the material you are using and the size and print quality and then under Paper Source choose Rear Tray. It should recognize that there is something loaded but I like to make sure it knows. Then select OK and then Print. I hope that helps. If it still isn’t working, let me know which part isn’t working and what you are printing on and what size it is and I will try to make a video for you. I will probably try to make one anyway but I would like to address your problem if possible.

@@LittleGraySquirrel thank you! It was the paper size not matching the settings on the printer. Walked away for a few hours and came back to it and figured it out!

@@erinduckworth6367 I’m so glad you figured it out!

No problem! Thank you for the questions and subscribing. I have been quite happy with the colors. I haven’t printed photos yet but I need to soon. I will let you know how it goes. The heaviest I have printed on is poster board which I fed through the back. Anything much thicker than regular paper or larger than letter size would print from the back. I have printed 40lb paper from the front tray which is twice as thick as regular printer paper. Originally I didn’t think it would turn itself on when I sent something to print after it had shut off but I figured out how to change that setting so I was pretty happy with that.

Thank you so much for your quick reply! The more I see this, the more I really want it! I'm hoping that the print quality is really good on photo paper because I do like to print photos out for family and to also to frame.

@@MsKathyf You are welcome!

I just printed several photos on mine with the glossy II photo paper samples that came with the printer. I have to say that the photos were outstanding. As good or even better than getting them printed at a store. I’m so happy with my purchase.

@@BelangerFamily09 Thank you for sharing! I’m glad to hear it. I did print a photo on the glossy II paper as well and it was nice. I also printed one on the photo paper from Dollar Tree and it was not very nice. It was ok, but not great. It is definitely worth it to use the good photo paper for important photos.

Thank you for your comment. I hope it is included for you too.

@@LittleGraySquirrel Thanks for the detailed video. Cheers.
