Scoring with your Brother Scan NCut

1/28/2021

Ever wanted to use your die cutter to also score your lines?? I sure did.
If you are like me you’ve wondered how you could score your lines with your scanncut! You could try embossing but that’s a bit too much when all you need a quick score on your fold lines.

Well, after wondering for a long time and watching many YouTube videos, I figured it out! I felt that the tricks that people were using weren’t as user friendly as I had hoped so I tried this and it is AMAZING !

What you need

As you will see from the pictures below I am using a sdx225 so I am not sure if this technique will work for all models but I hope so!
You will need to have the universal pen tool holder and then you need an old pen that has ran out of ink. I find that there is a specific size pen that you need as some are either to thin or some too thick. I found one that fit just right.

File preparation

You will need to set up your file to have your cut lines different from your score lines. I use my svg files from my papercraft designs ( you can find them with my digital downloads or email us if they are not already included when you get the pdf template).
I print the pdf document first on cardstock, then I scan it and send it to my canvasworkspace. I finalize the preparation by setting up my svg file to match the scan.

Once that’s done I set my score lines to ‘draw’.

Settings on scanncut

What is important here is that you set your draw functions to pressure: 9 ( max pressure). Also the speed should not be too fast.

What can I use if I don't have a pen that has run out of ink? TIA

Hi Jennifer, I am not sure exactly but anything that is fairly pointy but also that fits in the pen holder. I have previously used pens that were a bit too small and just wrapped them with duck tape to make sure the size of the pen fit. I would assume you could use a big nail and do the same. I hope this helps

Thanks for your quick reply. You would think they would have made a tool for this by now. I think I might try the embossing tool for it
