I have a very simple question. Do I need some kind of special S/W to do print and cut on a roland gx 24? The option to "Set Up The Printer" is grey and not applicable. I'm not sure if I'm not doing something right but i imported an image got the cut lines, changed the offset to get rid of all the white but I cant print it. any help would be appreciated.

Ummm, the gx-24 is just a cutter. You need to print the image with a printer first then load it into your cutter with the registration marks and cut around the image. I hope this makes sense.

I understand that but i thought the cutstudio was suppose to put the registration marks on the paper along with the image then i would send the cut job to the plotter and it would cut around the image. otherwise the plotter wouldnt know what to cut. it would cut just an image on a sheet of material. i need it to cut a specific image on a specific piece of paper.

you can do this IF you are using a paper made for this OR use a carrier sheet that will hold your image while the cutter conturs cut. Steps are...print your image on the paper using 'print and cut' then you will have to extract contour lines..then place the paper in the cutter...best thing is to go to youtube.com and search for 'imprintablesdotcom' and look at videro 7 and 8...it will walk you through this
