Hi all..............
Just recently i purchased a Roland cx-300, software installed is Cutstudio on a Win xp platform. The manual says theirs an alignment tool thats used to align the cutter to the registration marks (crop marks), Unfortunatly the cutter came without this tool. Is there a way to align the registration marks to the cutter without this tool...

Thanks in advance
Lou T.

Never mind.....I just figured it out.

In case anyone is interested, and would like to try here's my method.

-Open Photoshop and create an RGB file 25X25 pixels (white background)
-Use line tool, draw a horizontal line 2 pixels wide as close to the bottom of your canvas as possible.
-Use line tool , draw a vertical line 2 pixels wide as close to the left side of your canvas as possible.
-Save file as jpeg and name it as origin.
-Open Cutstudio and import origin.jpg
-Move graphic to origin location by clicking on the "move button" on top toolbar.If you zoom in to the origin location on the bottom left of your screen you will see the graphic you created in photoshop.
-Import any graphic you like to print and cut and send to origin position (if this graphic overlaps origin.jpg move it slightly right and up so it does not overlap).
-Print your graphic as you would normally print.
-After printing is complete press cutting button on top toolbar/properties/options and make sure your origin button is selected.
-Load your Graphic on the cutter, move your blade directly over your origin graphic (exactly where your vertical and horizontal lines meet). Before proceeding with cutting your graphic, press and hold the origin button on the cutter untill it excepts this location as the new origin position.

Proceed with cutting!!!!

I tried this method about half a dozen times and it's incredibly accurate.
