Silhouettes Cutting Plotter, Rubber, White, 30,5 cm Schneidebreite

Excellent piece of kit, the main thing I was reading in some of the reviews was it would not cut anything! You have to make sure the blade attachment is correctly located in the correct holder and you have the right type of blade for the material you need to cut. This comes with a 1mm auto blade and the cutter is marked with a No.1 and goes in the holder marked No.1. It has to align with the slots and be secured with the pull/push tab on the front of the holder with the flat to the back on the blade. There are loads of videos on how to install the blades on the internet YT Site. When I had done all this selected and loaded the card the 'Send' button on the software was greyed out, however after restarting the cutter it wanted to download new firmware (so make sure you are connected to the internet). Once updated I was already to cut and it worked fine, I also noticed that if you put too thin a material like cheap A4 paper it can dragged while cutting at certain points, putting better quality thicker paper in to test it solved the problem. My advice, watch some videos before you buy it on YT, the website has four good free ebooks, along with the manual to download all pdf. There is also some videos, also the software is available to download and there is a chart to show you the difference between the free version and the others you have to buy. You only have to download and install the software once. If you upgrade the serial code unlocks the extra features. Lastly mine came with a UK plug included.

The machine is easy to set up and with the aid of the Silhouette tutorials you can cut simple materials with the autoblade very soon after opening the box. It's very accurate, especially if you use the registration correctly for printed copy. What does take the time is getting the process from PC document to printer accurate. Thicker materials with the craft blade are harder to manage. You need to make sure that you don't cut too deep at once and avoid sharp curves. Do make sure you get all of the internal packaging that retains the cutting head out.

I'm so glad i bought this! i did a lot of research beforehand because I'm new to using these machines and it was between the Cricut Maker or the Silhouette Cameo 4. I went for this one and it was the best decision ever! Any minor problems i came across using the machine were quickly resolved because there are so many tutorials online about it. I use it every so often for card making and it's given me amazing cuts, just be sure to always do a test cut beforehand so you know the settings are right for the materials chosen. I'm still using the autoblade it came with, it's lasted quite a while thankfully.

It's a lovely machine. The only issue I had was that as a first time user, I messed up the first cut and stopped it half way through. I didn't know you had to remove the cutting sheet completely at that point and re-insert it (neither does google), so I ended up ruining the cutting mat with the second cut.

Only had it for 2 days its working well and I am still learning. cutting vinyl and card no prob but still learning the settings [trial and error)take lessons fon

Bought this as was upgrading from the cameo 1 as it has a vinyl holder making it much easier to cut lots of vinyl at 1 time.

I recommend. After unpacking, the first impression oh gosh this is a toy !? But the first cut and I have already changed my mind it is a good machine for a variety of jobs and in combination with the Silhouette Studio you can do a lot. It's a little loud but you get used to it. It is important that it works.

Use the tutorials and you will very quickly get the hang of things I use this as a beginner to create table plan and table settings for a wedding

It was working perfectly until now that mats are drifting off the rollers, destroying my media.

Comentario viejo, vean el nuevo al final: Después de varios meses usando la cameo 4 me doy cuenta que la máquina no ha funcionado bien desde el principio, pensaba que cortaba así por ser principiante, pero he visto tutoriales, videos y leido sobre ella; y definitivamente mi máquina tiene graves problemas. Es imposible que para cortar cartulina lisa tenga que hacer 12 pasadas, compré una cuchilla nueva pensando que la mía había venido mala y sigue igual. Coloco la cuchilla en su máxima presión y nada, corto en 10 y sigue sin cortar limpio. He tenido que terminar de recurrir a las tijeras ya que no termina de cortar nada, incluso moviendo todos los parámetros de la cuchilla. He visto también que muchísimas personas están teniendo problemas con esta Cameo 4, casi nadie quiere cambiarse al modelo nuevo porque la 3 funcionaba perfectamente... intentaré recurrir a la garantía de la empresa porque es un dineral para que no funcione correctamente!!!!! Actualizo mi comentario, contacté con la empresa Silhouette a través de internet y luego de hacer varias pruebas, lograron que la máquina funcionara perfectamente!!!! Ahora si estoy contenta y feliz puesto que tuve varios meses sufriendo con ella... corta estupendamente y hace todos los trabajos que quiero !!!

Buen producto,

J'ai 60 ans et je ne suis pas un jeune Geek pourtant j'ai reçu la machine, installée, deux heures, j'avais vectorisé un Logo, découpé mon pochoir et je sortais une première plaque test peinte(mon utilisation est destiné au pochoir de peinture carrosserie) Le logiciel et facile, beaucoup de documentation et en Français. Le support technique pour l'installation est simple et efficace, et sur le net on trouve des tutos pour tout. La précision de la machine est très bonne. J'ai hésité entre plusieurs machine, mais je suis content de ce choix car le support permet de très rapidement pouvoir l'utiliser sans passer des jours a galérer.
