@Expressionsvinyls 3 года назад

You are able to reposition your designs on the mat shown on the cut screen. You will reposition them according to where you place the vinyl on the mat.

@chrissypapnick840 3 года назад

Hi. Thanks for the video. I'm wondering if cutting without a mat could dull the blade faster or if it cuts too deep ruin the machine? I know it's made to cut without a mat, but it safe to always do it that way...assuming the paper has a backing like your vinyl does. Would this work with stickers?

@Expressionsvinyls 3 года назад

The vinyl must have either a carrier sheet attached or a backing to be cut without a mat. We recommend test cuts before sending your design through. Vinyl can also be cut with a mat if you prefer.

@lnparker40 5 лет назад

Very new to this as my machine was a Christmas present, Silhouette Cameo 3 - I'm about to attempt this for the first time - can you tell me, were you using 651 vinyl in this demonstration? I'm using 651 permanent vinyl and unsure of settings and worried I may cut through. Also, is there a cheat sheet for settings? Cutting without a mat on different product?

@Expressionsvinyls 5 лет назад

Hi Nicole, you will love your machine. We have a lot of cheat sheets that are great for the different types of vinyl. Here is the link to that - expressionsvinyl.com/machine-setting.html Also, here is a link to the Silhouette Playlist that we have.

@ansleysmitherman6990 4 года назад

Do you know what cut settings I would need to use for a mirrored/reflective vinyl?

@Expressionsvinyls 4 года назад

It depends on where you got it from. Here's a chart with our recommended settings for our vinyl. Remember to always do a test cut, but this would be a good place to start expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/

@Suuegrl 2 года назад

How does the cardstock and vinyl stick to the mat? Got my machine today and all videos I see show the vinyl like your scraps sticking to the mat. Thanks for your help

@Expressionsvinyls 2 года назад

mats have an adhesive on them to hold the material you are cutting in place. Some mat brands carry different adhesive strengths. Choose that adhesive strength that works best with the vinyl you are cutting.

@toricocharo1528 6 лет назад

Hi! How do you get your cardstock off your mat without it tearing? My mat has been well used so it isn't super sticky, but the card keeps tearing when I try to take it off. I am also using the sketch pens, so is there any way to not use the mat at all?

@Expressionsvinyls 6 лет назад

Hi Tori, that can be a tough one to work with sometimes. The best thing that we have found is to really remove the mat from the cardstock. Turn the mat upside down so the cardstock is on your surface. Then slowly remove the mat from the cardstock. They are thin and can be bent a little. You would not want to cut it without the mat as you need something to stabilize it so it won't move around. Hopefully this helps a little. expressionsvinyl.com

@sharonkeen7132 6 лет назад

Hi Jessica! I'm a new newbie for Cameo 3.....thank you for this post! Very helpful.....one question....regarding the 'blade"....you said Rachet Blade...is that the same as the blade that comes with the Cameo or an extra blade you purchased? Thanks! Sharon

@Expressionsvinyls 6 лет назад

Hi Sharon, in the Cameo 3 you receive the auto blade. The ratchet blade and the premium blade are ones that you can purchase separately. Here is a link to both of those. Hopefully that helps. expressionsvinyl.com/silhouette-america/tools-accessories/blades-and-tools/

@sharonkeen7132 6 лет назад

So I CAN use my normal auto blade for the demo you presented...doesn't have to be the 'rachet blade'...correct?

@Expressionsvinyls 6 лет назад

Sharon, Sorry for the late reply. YES absolutely you can use your auto blade. Just make sure that is the blade you have selected in your program. It is usually auto selected anyway. :)

@ellona3645 5 лет назад

Hi, I was wondering if I can print a design on a rolled vinyl sheet paper that you can buy at silhouette with either an ink jet or laser? Cause I sell stickers & i'm planning to try the vinyl paper

@Expressionsvinyls 5 лет назад

There is InkJet printable vinyl that you would want to use if you are planning on printing. The other types of vinyl will not hold the ink and it will just wipe off. Here is a link to our InkJet Printable Vinyl for Stickers as well as additional printable. expressionsvinyl.com/printable-vinyls/

@siebernb Год назад

Thank you! Im new to cameo 4 and I’m trying to use the cutting feature without a mat. I’m having a problem with my vinyl when it is loading. It curls up and doesn’t end up under the blade. Also it moves around sometimes during cutting. Any ideas?

@Expressionsvinyls Год назад

Is the vinyl able to lay flat before loading it in the machine? Check the roller positions. They may need to be adjusted.

@rebeccathygesen9723 6 лет назад

Jessica, may I ask what vinyl you used for this demo? 651?

@Expressionsvinyls 6 лет назад

Hi, in this one we were cutting 651 vinyl but you can do this with 631 as well as heat transfer vinyl. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. www.expressionsvinyl.com

What would you consider eazyweed vinyl in the Material Section? Is It heat Transfer or Just Regular Vinyl?

@Expressionsvinyls 6 лет назад

Hi, we'd recommend that you decrease the thickness on your machine. That may be the reason that it is cutting all the way through. Hopefully this helps.

@sayitwithatshirt 2 года назад

My problem is it never register the registration marks. If I'm cutting adhesive vinyl or vinyls period are there supposes 2 be registration marks cuz I have none & my mat doesn't either. I've only had my silhouette cameo 4 about a month now & I've only gotten it 2 cut out my daughter's name 3 times. Also there is no selection IN THE MATERIALS DROPDOWN that says adhesive vinyl for the PSV or is it labeled somthing else? But no matter weather I have the registration marks on or off it still tries register marks & fail. What material are registration marks needed 4? I'm only trying to cut vinyl? Thank u

@Expressionsvinyls 2 года назад

Registration marks are usually only used for print and cut designs. If you do not have your design prepared as a print and cut, you may need to contact Silhouette customer service to find out why your machine is looking for them. Recommended cut setting for vinyl purchased from Expressions Vinyl can be found here: expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/

@markeetrosclair9421 5 лет назад

What cause the paper to slide with or without a mat and what can you do to avoid it

@Expressionsvinyls 5 лет назад

Hi Markee, the vinyl could be sliding because of the rollers on the side. You want to adjust the rollers on the right hand side to make sure they are rolling on top of the mat or the piece of vinyl. This should help it from moving. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

@GirlArmy21 4 года назад

Two things? Can you put a box around your vinyl design area for easier weeding? Does the mat have to go in Arrow first? I ruined my mat by cutting in too deep and have a new one. Now I am afraid to use that one? :(

Yes, you can put a weeding box around your design to help with weeding. It doesn't really matter if you have the arrow first or not.

Thanks Jessica:) I'm wondering about the position of your roller without a cutting mat. When I put it in that position, the roller makes a mark all the way down the vinyl. Will that affect the look of the vinyl after applying it? HTV or adhesive... Thanks, I'm addicted to watching your videos :)

@Expressionsvinyls 6 лет назад

Hi Lori, it shouldn't impact the look of the vinyl. Once you have cut your vinyl and applied it, most of that will smooth right out, especially with the heat transfer vinyl. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

@Expressionsvinyls 3 года назад

A mat is handy when you are cutting easyweed stretch, other stretchy vinyl, stripflock, and scraps. Otherwise, as long as the rollers are set properly, it should work! Always test cut!

@SA-gw9bb 3 года назад

On my cameo 3, when I set to 'no mat', the cutting begins about 1-2 inches to the right even though the design is fully to the left within the cut area. Any ideas what might be causing this? The material is being loaded correctly and the 'no mat' setting is correct.

@Expressionsvinyls 3 года назад

Try recalibrating your machine. You can do this by unplugging your machine. Then moving the cartridge back and forth a couple of times. If this does not work you may need to do a Firmware update.

@Expressionsvinyls 5 лет назад

Hi, sometimes it isn't the want the machine is cutting, it can also be the type of paper. You want to make sure it is really adhered to the mat. If it's paper then you will always want to keep the mat. Make sure you adjust the blade so there isn't as much pressure on it. If there is more pressure and the blade is too deep it tends to drag through the cuts for thinner materials. Hopefully that helps.

There is a lever/switch right above the roller bar on the right side. Turn the switch to release the bar.
