5 Ways to Print on Acrylic (And My Preferred Method!)

If you've been wanting to customize acrylic for keychains, ornaments, or other crafts, you're probably wondering - how exactly do you get designs onto acrylic?

I'm showing you FIVE different methods for printing on acrylic! Some of these involve printing directly on the acrylic, while others use transfers or stickers. Whether you have a sublimation printer, UV printer, DTF printer, white toner printer, or print and cut machine - there's a method that will work for you!

How to Remove a Background in Silhouette Studio (Two Methods)

One of the most common questions I get is how to remove a photo background in Silhouette Studio. And the good news is there are two ways to do it right inside the software - no Photoshop, no Canva, no extra apps needed.

Here's the thing. The method you use depends on your photo. I'm going to show you both so you can pick the right one for whatever you're working on. 

I'm using these techniques to make DIY big head cutouts - but this works for any project where you need a cut-to-shape image, like photo booth props or custom stickers.

Is Silhouette Studio Business Edition Worth It If You Don't Have a Business?

If you've been using Silhouette Studio for a while, you've probably seen the Business Edition upgrade mentioned and wondered whether it's actually worth the $50 especially if you don't have a business. 

The question I get from crafters is often: Do I really need Business Edition if I'm not selling at all? 

The honest answer is...I've never heard anyone regret unlocking the full suite of tools and features in Silhouette Studio Business Edition.

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.
