For anyone interested; the gcode for the prime blob procedure that the Alta does at the beginning of the print with the silhouette software is:

And the gcode for the end of the print, to retract the filament and return the printhead to home, is:

For me these work pretty well and you can insert them in Cura's printer settings to work.
(These codes can be found in the settings files included with the software, but thanks to Silhouette support for pointing them out.)
