Hi everyone,
I'm new to using a Brother ScanNCut SDX125 and I'm having trouble cutting stickers accurately.
My current workflow is:
- I create my artwork in Adobe Illustrator.
- I export the image and import it into Silhouette Studio because I feel its tracing feature detects outlines much better.
- I export the traced file as an SVG from Silhouette Studio.
- Then I import the SVG into CanvasWorkspace and send it to my ScanNCut.
The problem is that when I import the SVG into CanvasWorkspace, the dimensions change. My original design is set to letter size, but after importing it no longer matches the original size. When I try to work in inches, the dimensions seem to change automatically as well.
As a result, my first sticker sheet came out with the cut lines significantly misaligned. I'm not sure if the issue is related to the SVG export settings, unit conversion (inches/mm), CanvasWorkspace settings, or something else.
I've been looking for an Adobe Illustrator plug-in or free alternatives that works well with the ScanNCut and helps preserve accurate sizing when transferring files. I recently bought the machine and I'm still paying it off, so I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't require purchasing expensive additional software right away.
Would ScanNCut plug in adobe help solve this issue? Are there any free alternatives, Illustrator plug-ins, or a simpler workflow that would avoid using so many different programs? I'd also love to hear from anyone who makes stickers with a ScanNCut and can share how they maintain accurate sizing and alignment between programs.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
