Silhouette cameo cut settings for vinyl.

Cut settings can be easiest and trickiest of getting great cut. Verify that the tool is set to autoblade cameo 3 or portrait 2 only or the ratchet blade cameo 1 2 portrait. Our expert crafters have hand tested the silhouette cameo 3 with onlinelabels sticker paper to bring you the exact cut settings for each material. Don t worry be crafty.

Updated march 7 2012 to include this tip from diane i got the impression that you should never use your cameo with the blade set higher than 3. The updates to both machines are the same except in size. You need to make sure you text cut every time you change vinyl to avoid wasting materials. Cut settings is located in the send tab in silhouette studio.

Settings may vary by machine or batch of vinyl. If you are using a silhouette cameo 3 you are equipped with an automatic blade. If you look at the presets none of them use a blade setting higher than 3. Cutting vinyl with the silhouette cameo or portrait is arguably easier than cutting anything else on the machine.

After you make the material type in the send panel the recommended cut settings for vinyl will be displayed. You can access the cut settings by clicking on the send tab in silhouette studio. The silhouette cameo 4 is back and bigger than ever with the plus. The blade will adjust to the depth it needs to be to cut your vinyl successfully without going through the back.

Speed may change depending on the intricacy of the cutting as well we have added a new silhouette cameo chart. The tricky news is that each piece of vinyl blade and machine can cut a little differently. When i called silhouette about a defective blade they mentioned that people should not be cutting even thin chipboard or anything.

The settings in the chart are what has worked for us on our machines. The cameo 4 remains the tried and true 12 width but the cameo 4 plus is 15 wide.
