The question of how fonts look when using the ScanNCut pen tool has come up a few times recently on Facebook, questions like “how do you get the pen to fill in the text” “Why is the pen only drawing the outline of text”.
So I thought I would try and explain what fonts to look for when using the pen tool.
In my video I concentrate on “handwriting fonts”. I usually get my fonts from Dafont.com I have used this site for many years without any problems, you can also use “single stroke” fonts, you usually have to buy these so Ive not made any recommendations for these and will leave you to search the net and decide if you want to use them.

I hope it helps you understand what to look for to get the best result when using your pen tool for writing greetings etc.
So its been a few weeks now since Brother released the V1.60 update for our CM600 DX, the machine software update includes:-
Machine info now on Page 5 of the Settings
A change in the default setting of Scan to Cut Data (now 3mm)
Adjust the Scanning/Cutting Position (cutting calibration) You can find a direct link to a video showing how this feature works together with a written PDF showing step by step instructions on my “ScanNCut Help & Info Page here on my blog)
The ability to now import SVG cutting files directly on the SNC Machine.
Updated scanning recognition for both Greyscale and Colour (details in my video showing my amazing result with a Stampin Up stamped image).
I have to say my two favourite features of the update are the readable SVG files and the new better scanning capabilities.
I am not sure you can see it here, but I stamped this image on textured cardstock and the ink bled into it and SNC picked up all the indentations, these were exaggerated when cutting because I asked the SNC to add a 0.04 inch border.

Hi, this weeks video is just a quick one showing how to create frames in ScanNCut Canvas, once you have the basic design which can be any shape, you can then weld other shapes or words to the inside of the frame.
The video is Here
I have made a video previously on welding text to frames and you can find that video Here
