I had this same problem. What I found works best for me was, using the smaller 12*12 mat and adjusting your sliders to prevent movement. And when I need to make a bigger design I then switch back to the bigger mat that it comes with. I hopes this helps
That cameo pro is nice. I've been doing all my work by hand with an exacto knife while educating myself on equipment. I like the option that the pro gives, it would be easier to satisfy orders for larger people with the ability to scale the graphics and also car decals. Yes, I'm as big as my car (I'm 6ft 290lbs and drive Honda Crz)😉😁
I have a cricut Maker, but I am so tempted to purchase the Sillhoutte Cameo Pro because of the size. The Cricut can only go up to12x20 so the 12 is a great limitation..
I always use a self healing mat, xacto knife and a metal ruler. I have a rotary cutter but i don’t like using it on vinyl i prefer the xacto knife. I am gonna get that quilting ruler you mentioned though. That’s you.
@@adubbproductions Hello, can you make a video/tips, how to setting cutting polyflex pvc 50 cm whiout mate about roller grip position, force, speed, kneef. Thank You
i still use the cameo 2 and upgraded straight to the 4 with BE software from the 2 and i love it a must in the arsenal i use one for decals and the other fpor shirts cutting at the same time 2 different jobs due to the functionality of the BE software to run to machines
totally diggin' these videos..gets me amped to do some work! At the moment doing all one-off's for myself..but we'll see what the future brings! keep the vids coming
@@adubbproductions Do you have any tips for how to get the cameo to read the registration marks because if it doesn’t read the marks it won’t cut nothing Smdh 🤦🏾♂️
you right the pro is for large decals i use my 2 for decals but got to break it up with the pro i can cut the job in one cut so im going to get that due to the customers i have to replace the 2
Yea thats true. I wasnt even thinking about the mat at the time though and that mat is 24x24 inch its stupid big and they dont even sell replacement 24x24 inch mats anywhere if it loses it's stick.
Silhouette looks dope and I hear nothing but great reviews but I prefer my GCC Expert 24 because it's what I've been using since 2014. I know the cutter and the Great Cut software included very well. Love the videos bro. Thanks for sharing👍
I’m just now learning about those GCC machines. They are really insanely unbelievable. If I’m correct can’t you just load up the cutter with a piece of vinyl and the cutter reads the size of the vinyl before it cuts? You guys been holding out. I’m seriously thinking about upgrading just because that feature is worth making a video on.
@@adubbproductions lol. Yes it does read the width for you. Any time your design is too big or should i say too wide, Great Cut warns you and kicks you out of the (print/cut) screen so you won't accidentally send the job to the cutter. If you're thinking about getting one. DON'T get the one i have lol. It doesn't have the laser that reads registration marks. The LX models have the laser for those jobs.
I don’t think that would work. A heat gun would heat up your vinyl but there is nothing pressing it down to flatten it. To flatten something another device has to do the flattening. It would just be hot vinyl. Maybe melt or burn it but it would not flatten it.
I have a cricut and alway wanted a cameo however mines was a gift n im greatful for the cricut. The cameo will be the one ill work in to get. Now I want some fruit rollups lol Ima ask my husband to go out for me lol 😂 since im out of commission I had foot surgery today 😔. I like the shirt very much Have you ever thought of giving away the items you make to your subscribers?
We are just starting, recently got are heat press and cutter. Is the brick htv siser? Only because I love the look it! And they say not to do big logos lol. Thanks for the great videos they have helped a lot!
Thanks for the mistakes I learn from your mistakes. Why didn't you use a mat with it and also why did you cut twice? Thanks I'm learning on the Cam 4 with business edition
I honestly didn’t use the mat mainly because i never thought to get the mat at the time i was shooting and also that Mat is huge and clumsy. I’m gonna show it in the next video.
The first thing you need to do is: USE ALL THE ATTACHMENTS that equipment have. You need to use the roll feeder to stabilize the vinyl roll, also you to set vinyl the other way to avoid the lifting. I think laziness is part of the deal……
You could have kept all that to yourself especially with the last part. Next time just keep scrolling instead of attempting to insult me. Thanks for watching but you can take your ridiculous insults to another channel Frank. No one especially me cares what you have to say. Good day. Next step is me blocking you. 😁✌🏾
The only reason why I didnt use it is becauase it's a pain in the butt to go get those other three pieces. The pro doesnt have a built in roller. Im not sure if you say my unboxing video on it or not but the pro has not built in roller it's three other separate pieces.
It’s better and more accurate to cut with a mat in my opinion but it is more cost effective to cut without a mat. In hindsight you can also save money utilizing a mat cutting small scrap pieces of vinyl that you would normally throw out. There is no way to cut those small pieces unless you place them onto a mat. Most small pieces are to small for both rollers to grab.
Hello I have a Cricut and I'm looking for a other choice because cricut print an cuts are way to small for my liking does the sihoutte cameo 4pro do print and cut at a larger size then an 8/10?
I have it. That still wouldn’t help with the roll curling up at the end that’s how they ship it. Next time I’ll have to lay it out flat the day before I use it or press it on a low temperature to flatten it out so it can feed in smoothly.
@@adubbproductions I would suggest looking into some good non abrasive wide flat weights such as poster weights or some good big books will probably do the trick.
Brother A-Dubb I wanted to know if you have any tips for how to get the Cameo to cut when it’s not reading the registration marks because if it doesn’t read point blank it doesn’t cut Smdh 🤦🏾♂️😤
No it’s not. It’s rolled up because that’s the most efficient way to ship it. Professional cutter/plotters with servo motors like the graphtec don’t use cutting mats they have roll feeders. When using one of those this is no longer an issue. They don’t have any parts for the vinyl to get caught onto.

Wrong. The cameo comes with a cutting mat but you don’t have to use it. That’s why it has a mini roll feeder. You can’t roll a cutting mat. Smh. 🤦🏾♂️ roll feeders are for rolls of vinyl cutting mats are for small scrap pieces that can’t be rolled. The issue is when using the roll feeder if you want to start at the edge of your vinyl the cameo has slots that the vinyl can get caught onto in which case you roll a little extra past that part so the vinyl does not get caught. Cut off the access and use your curing mat to cut on the smaller pieces. That’s what a cutting mat is for. You keep trying to play me in these comments but i got you anyway. It’s cool.
Why would you spend all that money on an amateur vinyl cutter when you could have bought an entry professional level unit that could do everything that can do but only better?
@@Bobster986 Who said I was a professional. I thought we where talking about the cameo. So that’s what the real issue is, me. Not the cameo. I see. I’m not surprised. So what’s your issue with me? Why are you concerned with what I spend my money on? How does that impact your life or well being?
@@adubbproductions nothing! It’s just that you said “the money it make me” inferring that you use it in a professional sense. If you’re not a professional, then why are you selling products made by your consumer vinyl (paper) cutter?
You missed the entire point of the video. Brick vinyl. I’m showing people that it’s a great product and that they should try it out to help them make a little extra cash. Professional or not. What’s your issue with that? What’s the real issue Bob? Is it with me or the cameo. If it’s the cameo maybe you should contact Silhouette America. If it’s me let me know. What’s your issue with me? Am I the only one on RU-vid with a video about a cameo? Are you in their comments also? Or is it just me?
