I'm sorry it's giving you so much trouble! Can you post a screen shot of it set up in Studio? It usually turns out to be something simple but important. I might also suggest contacting Silhouette, I've heard of a few people getting replacement machines for defective electronic eyes recently.
Whoa! What kind of things are you printing? I print A LOT because of hybrid projects and never go through that much ink. Also what kind of paper are you using? That can make difference on how much your printer using of the ink.
No it really is that i keep printing things multiple times to try and make something and then the Silhouette messes it up so i print it again and retry it LOL Its driving me crazy! I cannot figure out how to get the distance Calibration to set up correctly.
@AllisonPennington I was using the wrong registration marks. Instead of using the ones with the small black box mine didn't have a black box. Once I changed that it printed perfect! I mean perfect!! Such an I should have had a V8 moment! LOL
