Silhouette Settings 10mil Laminate

I used the clear sticker material cut setting with only one pass no double cut which was perfect for my 3mm laminating pouches.

Silhouette settings 10mil laminate. I was playing with settings but i haven t been able to get more than half way through. Only used it because it was salvaged from printing company i found a pretty cluster of leaves pattern from the silhouette store and after taking measurements of my mannequin. Because coverstock is so thick it can be difficult to print on it. If you have a laminator just load an empty laminate pocket into your machine and let it do its thing.

I got it to cut 5mil 125microns. I started with the 3 mil laminating sheets they also come in 5 mil. Instead i used 3mil laminating pouches which still provided the durability that i needed. For the 3 mil size set your cricut to cut cardstock.

I love using coverstock for paper crafts that need more structure to them like these diy paper lanterns decor. I looked at settings and couldn t work out how to get it in the software to go higher. The calculations were transferred to the program. Has anyone had success with 10mil 250 micron laminate.

When placing your laminated page on your mat be sure to line up the actual printed page to the guidelines on the mat. For the 5 mil you ll want to set the dial to custom and choose posterboard from the menu. I cannot even get coverstock to feed into my printer because it has. Duck brand peel stick clear laminate.

I do have a deep cut blade but haven t used it for fear of breaking it. Once the cut lines are in place load the pixscan mat into your silhouette just like any other mat and send to the silhouette. The machine will read the registration marks like an ordinary print cut file. I see that the silhouette portrait has the print and cut feature using optics to read the registration marks.

We start with 10 mil. Silhouette does not list laminate as a materials choice so i had to play around with the settings. I chose to use the duck brand of a clear laminate called peel and stick clear laminate because it was 12 wide which fits perfectly on a cricut mat whether it s a 12 x12 mat or a 12 x24 mat. Coverstock coverstock is a heavy cardstock typically 100 120lb in weight.

Well i am just wondering before i purchase it if anyone knows whether or not laminating your printed picture before putting it in the machine will mess with the optics. Send the design to your silhouette. I am laminating using 3 mil clear glossy gbc laminate. Using laminate sheets.

The laminate was cut 12 x 12 to fit my cutting mat. Go to cut settings and select your cut settings by finding the closest material for your lamination and tweaking it to the best settings load the pixscan mat in to your silhouette portrait cameo and check the blade depth.
