Can anyone tell me exactly what cutting settings they use on these for the Silhouette Portrait or Cameo? Mine is eating them on some edges :-(

Every machine is different, and it depends on what you're cutting. Check out silhouette for beginners on FB they're super helpful.

You have to use the custom blades made specifically for the machine (the Portrait and Cameo use the same blades).

Thanks so much . . . a bit un-unnerving coming from you about the exposures on theHX1 . . . yes, black hair vs.brown,exactly . . . and this can really kill a picture . . . I was hoping something could be done . . . but, I really appreciate your time and I hope your issues are resolved too!

Hi Chuck. It can cut letters that small. However, it is best to set the blade to a # that doesn't cut the entire way through and punch the letters out yourself. I found that if the letters cut the entire way through, they get lost into the cameo and you have to fish them out. You will find then most are not useable. Cutting letters that small it is also best to stick with san serif fonts. Hope this helps.

I have the same issue and I don't understand your reply, "You should take paper sticking side of toner off or cut it first.I fixed same problem by doing this." How can we fix the issue? Or do we and others that buy your product have to spend time testing, getting frustrated, looking for solutions, then ultimately returning the item. If there is no real solution to this problem, why do you keep selling this item?Please help.Thanks,Cale

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

Yes. I used a Cameo to cut stencils with the Grafix plastic, speed 1-2, blade thickness 3, thickness 25 (24-27). I use single cut but you may want to try double cut. The perfect setting will depend on the level of detail in your project. These cuts will dull your blade, get a spare for use with plastic.

I have used a cricket cutter and the eclips, I like the eclips better. I have a friend who uses a cameo I occasionally cut items for her.

It is pretty thin, but still you can't rip it easily. I used a dull blade on my silhouette cameo electronic cutter and it didn't cut all the way through. I could not just force it to pull apart. But, my blade is only set on a 2 out of 10 for depth. It is too thin to give a size

We have ordered a bunch of these for our office. We followed the instructions and made scored a few extra times for good measure and they broke off clean. I personally think that people who rush the work are the ones cracking their panels. Also read on another reviewers that they called the company and they will pre-cut for you prior to sending. So if you are worried about cutting might want to try that route. Good luck we love ours!

I haven't ever had that happen. It should not have a layer that peels off, and I would say that is the printable surface. You may want to contact Silhouette Support via email, because they will usually replace defective products. (support at silhouetteamerica dot com)

I am not the seller of the pre-filters. They were easy to cut myself to accommodate my particular model. I suggest doing it outside. The pre-filters, I believe, are a charcoal composite and are a bit messy to cut.

Hello. Portrait works up to 8" width and Cameo up to 12" width, and they have a different control panel. But the blades, accesories, inner mechanism and cutting software are the same. They both have the optical sanner -very usefull item-. So the principal difference is the width size.

I have the same problem. However, I think it also depends on the hair texture. The silkier they are, the worse the blade can handle. I will get a shorter blade next time.

For all answers regarding this software you can go to www.uscutter.com I looked on the package and it didn't say. I found I don't use it since the software that came with my Silhouette does what I need it to do. Wasted my money. May not be the case for you if you have a different cutter.

It works great for the silhouette for stenciling and other silhouette projects. I prefer it to the rolls (easier to use). You need to adjust the blade/cut settings though to get it to cut clean. You can use the silhouette settings for vinyl but you want to adjust it to cut thicker material than you would with the silhouette rolls or it won't remove properly. Hope this helps!

I've seen some inquiries about color peeling, is that still happening, do you still recommend the case even taking this in mind?Does every model fade to the same color once they peel? If they don't which one should I choose to reduce the peeling effect?Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions, I really like the design of this case but this is holding me back from buying it at the moment.
