Silhouette CAMEO Reviews

The Silhouette CAMEO is an amazing machine! I also had the original Silhouette, and as a long-time cardmaker and scrapbooker I can hardly make anything anymore without getting my Cameo involved. Once you make the initial investment you really don’t need to spend any more than 99 cents here and 99 cents there for individual shapes. (You can create your own designs and manipulate existing designs to your heart’s content.) Silhouette CAMEO also cuts any true type font already installed on your computer and prints and cuts images from whatever source you like to collect images from.

Sure, you can upgrade the software to the Designer Edition for extra features, but the software that comes with the machine (Silhouette Studio) is absolutely fantastic. No need for SCAL or MTC, although they do work with the Cameo. Using this machine is a bit more complex than plugging in a cartridge and hitting a cut button, but it is far and away better in its design capabilities than any cartridge-based machine. The software is easy to learn, especially with the help of the Silhouette Plus forum ([...]), the official Silhouette Blog, and many other blogs of happy Silhouette owners.

On top of all that, you get amazing customer service from Silhouette America. If you’re looking for the best digital cutter out there, look no further than the Silhouette Cameo. You won’t be disappointed.

– Silhouette CAMEO Machine Details –

The Silhouette CAMEO is an electronic cutting tool for personal use. Like a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Mac with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more up to 12″ wide and 10 feet long. The Silhouette CAMEO machine also boasts a quiet motor and the ability to register and cut printed materials.

What kinds of projects can I create with my Silhouette Cameo?
