What settings should I use for a silhouette cameo? Thanks!

Use the default settings for Glitter Card Stock Paper...I believe the default blade is set at 10 and double cut.

I use with any polish, some are too transparent and don't work good, but usually i use a light collor with a dark for the stamp, or a dark color for a white stamp, it shows up really good

Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm just begenning and the only backdrop I have is a blue one and I want to try this digital backgrounds collection to see how it works out for me. How has it worked for you?

I am not familiar with a silhouette cameo machine but it did run thru an HP printer ok with a little assistance; only 1 page per print otherwise would jam. It is good quality paper stock and much thicker than traditional paper

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.

Just to test the machine, I created a couple of simple geometric shapes using the Silhouette software and it worked just fine. I will be getting into decals for my locomotive which is from the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. 3 color logo: black, white and red. From what I have read, you can print your own decals on one type of low gloss vinyl and then cut it out. That's one of the reasons I bought this particular machine.

According to the instructions you paint the copper plating below the water line making it a rough 3 1/4 inches. It also give a you the option of greens to give it a tarnished look. On mine I will probably use copper foil with micro metal finish . That will probably be the most realistic look. If you plan to go for the tarnished look I recommend pastels. If you are a beginner I would go with primering first then copper paint. I hope this information was helpful to you and informative. The model is nothing to sneeze at in any direction you take with it. Happy modeling!

ANY GLOSSY SETTING SHOULD WORK, you probably won't even notice the difference unless you are a Pro or have compared different gloss settings side by side. There should be a slip of paper with the package letting you know what setting to use if you do not have the requested one or you can look it up online on the manufacturers web site.

Yes, the blades can be used on any Silhouette machine, even the older Silhouette SD. I have the Cameo and can't recommend it strongly enough. The full-size 12"x12" cutting area is so handy for so many projects and you can always cut small items, too.

Yes, the software has a great trace feature that let's you cut almost any shape or logo imaginal. I constantly import silhouettes that I find online and cut out all kinds of shapes and logos.

Lea, you are more adventurous than I am- but I believe you can. I know there is also an option with the Silhouette that also allows you to upgrade and allows for a lot more flexibility in its use. I suggest you go to Pinterest and search for the Silhouette cameo- there are many pins there with plenty of information on this great machine!

Use something to create shade It's extremely hard to see laser line in sunlight. Red tinted glasses work ok. But a big piece of card board to create a shadow works best

I really like mine, but I have found the recommended blade settings for cutting fabric are not accurate. I use mine for cutting fabric a whole lot to applique and I go through matts fairly quickly. However, I have had much success cutting vinyl. if I could do it over again I would invest in the cameo for the larger cutting size. Hope this helps!

This YouTube Video is very good on every size collapsible backdrops. I refer to this often because I tend to forget how to do it. I hope this helps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKVaz_95RjE

I would suggest a stronger vinyl. Look at your local print shop. I use 751 c or 651 Oracle . I use my Silhouette vinyl for projects for tiles, that stay in the house. You can also order the Oracle on line.. just type in Oracle vinyl online. Good Luck!!!

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!

You would either import your drawing from another program or draw it in the cameo software the machine comes with. From there the machine would cut where you tell it to.
