Silhouette Sketch Pen Tip


I love my silhouette. I have been impressed with almost every feature. So when I purchased the sketch pens I expected excellence once more.


To my total dismay, every image that I used with the sketch pens was terrible. Sometimes half of the image would sketch on, sometimes none of the image would sketch on. It was never consistent and always disappointing. Then one day on the silhouette blog, they posted something that used the sketch pens. I commented about my problem and was intrigued to find others who had encountered a similar problem. This tip was given that has made all the difference.

Make sure there is no oil from your hands on the paper. Try not to touch it and wherever you do, wipe it off with a clean rag.

I have put this tip to the test time and time again and it has worked for me! I used the sketch pens to make the tags for the flower pin supplies that I did on the retreat.
