The majority of the writing is how it should look like but some of the letters are missing, I'm not sure if its not getting enough pressure or what. I tried to manually color in the letters but the pressure thickness is different and I am not sure what to do. the speed is 10 and the thickness is 18. Can anyone help me??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515917948529992572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-68370905153457757902017-02-17T00:15:44.533-05:002017-02-17T00:15:44.533-05:00My pen holders came with a little cap.

I discovered that putting stuff ander the mat (away from the machine) helps. My machine is on the edge of my table and the mat kinda bends downward and that bendiness affects the part of the mat that is currently in the machine. If you have a cameo 3 you can use the little things that come out from the drawer (I assume that's what they're for) or put a book or something under the mat, so the mat would be evenly flat. Since I've done this, I haven't had any problems.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616801807462576989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-87349806760135374772015-10-09T16:12:21.978-04:002015-10-09T16:12:21.978-04:00Mine is doing this as well!

And the line isn't a faint one as shown in the pic at the top of this blog -- it's dark and just as defined as the text. It is apparent that my silhouette isn't lifting the pen at all when returning to the start position throughout printing as the line is the same thickness and darkness as the text and I am watching it drag w/o seeing the pen lift at all. I've been leaving the cover open while printing, and I've tried positioning the pen at higher and higher intervals with no success. Silhouette customer service had me change the setting to "ratchet blade" with a speed of 10 and thickness of 17 and it made the font look entirely different; it looked like a very scrunched up western style font with dot serifs. This makes since as the machine thinks that it is outlining the text rather than writing it. When I told the girl what happened with the text, she stammered, sounded unsure of what to do, and just hung up. I wasn't being pushy or rude, in fact I was very calm because I thought I was about to get a solution straight from Silhouette. Please help!!!!
