Silhouette Studio V4 vs V5: What Changed for Print and Cut

If you upgraded to Silhouette Studio V5 and tried to follow a print and cut tutorial made in V4 - you might be confused. 

Before we go any further though - unless you have a CAMEO 5a or an MK II you do not  should not be using Silhouette Studio V5. I would highly recommend anyone with an older model (including a CAMEO 5) revert to Silhouette Studio V4 immediately. 

Now if you have to be on V5 to print and cut, you probably noticed the tool panels look different and the process is a few different steps.  Some tools - including the registration marks - have moved. Here's what's different and what stayed the same.

Is Silhouette Studio Business Edition Worth it Without a Silhouette Machine?

If you own a Roland, an xTool laser, DTF or UV DTF printer, a sublimation printer or any machine that isn't a Silhouette cutter, you may not have given Silhouette Studio a second thought. 

As someone who has used a lot of different printing, design and rip software for a lot of years - I can tell you with certainty - even the free version of Silhouette Studio is actually one of the most underrated design tools for non-Silhouette machine owners.

If you don't have a Silhouette machine - that makes Silhouette Studio Business Edition even more worth it for you specifically for the file formats it can export.

Best UV Printer for Small Business - EufyMake E1 vs xTool UV Printer vs Epson V1070

If you are trying to figure out which UV printer is right for your small business or home craft setup, you are in the right place.

What makes this comparison different is I actually own multiple UV printers. I'm not going off spec sheets - I'm going off real experience setting up, printing and maintaining these machines. 

I've also had an inside look at xTool UV printer so I can give you real details on what I know for that one as well. 

How to Center a Design on a Shirt Without Measuring

Centering a design on a shirt sounds simple until you're standing at your heat press with a transfer in one hand and a tape measure in the other. Trying to figure out where exactly the middle of the shirt is not as easy as it sounds. 

Measuring, though, can be time consuming and your HTV or transfer can still end up off center or crooked. 

The good news is there's a faster way to find the center of a shirt that doesn't require measuring at all. It's actually the only method I use.
