How does it match up with the print outs on my paper to accurately cut out what is printed? Or is that not something it can do?

There are two ways that you can "print and cut". One is by using a special new mat called the PixScan that is available for it, and an app that goes with it on your phone. With that you can cut around anything...it doesn't have to be something you printed from the Silhouette software. It can be a stamped image, or handwriting, or whatever. The other way is by creating the file in Silhouette's Design Studio software and then adding registration marks to your document before printing it. The machine reads these to orient itself on the paper when you feed the paper into the Portrait to cut.

There are a few plugins out there, but none that I have had a ton of luck with, and I do not believe you can do print and cut with it that way either.

I tried to cut a 4x6 paper and I could not get an accurate cut. It cut into the end and did not look professional.

It's done the old fashioned way. Figure out the feed orientation, print one side, refeed the paper in the proper orientation and print the other side.

I do cut mine out. It will look much better if you do. You just have to cut around the image. It doesnt have to be exact.

You have to check the box for double-sided printing since it's not the default setting. You can do this in the print options for your document.

I have no idea other than to make sure that your print settings are set for the "best" quality. The default is "normal". Also be sure that the paper setting is the same as what you are using.

No logos or markings to make things a bit easier like on some papers. Standing by a window you can make out a slight difference between printable and noncoated sides of the paper. Actually, this is one of the only annoying things about this paper. Since it's not supposed to be printed on, Epson could put an x in the corner or SOMETHING. I sometimes do put an x in the corner on the back in pencil if I don't want to figure it out twice.

Not right in front of my machine at the moment, but I usually just press print again and then cut it, then print again and so on and so forth.. Hope that helps!

Yes: the printed image goes to the edge of the paper. But, you can reduce the size without losing much information, proportionally: it's huge.

Well it depends... This paper's background is white. You peel it off then iron that on. So when it goes on a black shirt you see the image you printed RXACTLY how you printed it... White spots and all. To get an effect like the one in the image above you have to cut out each letter. And the clear one is meant for heat press. You can iron it but it doesn't turn out so nice. But it's also the most economical choice.

We have always done that on the computer, rather than directly from the printer. However, I believe it does have the capacity to do that if you are doing direct from scan or card printing.

Some printers have special 4x6 trays included in the paper tray (for photos or whatnot - typically photo printing specific printers). If not, then trial and error with normal sized paper to figure out feed placement. I actually didn't use these for printing purposes though.

Frankly, I don't know. But I did notice that it distorts the colors more than you'd expect from an "advanced" printer. The printed image is sharp and detailed, but it's of different huge (e.g. yellowish camel instead of beige, or bluish gray instead of greenish gray). That said, I print on Hammermill 28 lb paper, not on specific Epson photo paper.

There is a workaround for this, it is a little time consuming but does work, you need to print as a pdf and then crop the image and then print using DYMO shrink to fit page and it works.

it will print anything 4x6 or smaller, you would just have to create the custom smaller size in a program like photoshop elements, etc. then, print and cut it out.

You can set the margins to zero, and although it may give you a message about fixing the margins, it will let you choose the option to print it anyway, regardless of the warning message that it's outside the normal print area.
