To install the Brother Calligraphy Starter Kit, first ensure your machine is turned off. Attach the calligraphy pen holder to the machine's carriage. Insert the calligraphy pen into the holder. Follow the setup instructions on your machine's screen, selecting the calligraphy function.
The Brother Calligraphy Starter Kit is designed for use with a variety of materials, including paper, cardstock, and vellum. Ensure the material is securely placed on the mat to avoid slipping during operation.
If you experience uneven ink flow, check that the pen is properly inserted into the holder. Ensure the nib is not clogged by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. If necessary, replace the ink cartridge.
While it is possible to use third-party pens, it is recommended to use Brother-approved pens to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Third-party pens may not fit correctly and could affect the quality of your work.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the pen holder to prevent ink buildup. Remove the pen and gently clean the holder with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before reinserting the pen.
To change the ink cartridge, carefully remove the pen from the holder. Unscrew the pen body to access the cartridge. Remove the empty cartridge and insert a new one, ensuring it is securely in place before reassembling the pen.
Ensure the kit is properly installed and the pen is securely in place. Restart your machine and check for any firmware updates. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact Brother support for assistance.
Experiment with different pen nibs and ink colors available in the kit. Adjust the pen pressure settings on your machine to create various stroke widths and styles. Practice with different fonts and templates included in the software.
The Brother Calligraphy Starter Kit is compatible with most Brother electronic cutting machines. Check your machine’s model number and compatibility list in the kit’s documentation to ensure proper usage.
Store the calligraphy pens with the caps securely on to prevent the ink from drying out. Keep all accessories in a cool, dry place, preferably in a storage box or the original packaging to avoid dust and damage.
