Can't get the mat to work

Ultimately, the Pix Scan mat worked great with my cameo 3. However, it took a while to get there. Initially I tried using the matte on a cameo that had the latest studio software installed. The cuts were constantly turned off. I contacted Silhouette through Facebook and they were eventually able to help me. The solution was to uninstall the latest Studio software and roll back to version 4.1.468. (I have a Mac.) I hope this review is helpful to someone who has purchased a mat and is unable to…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

I bought this rug and a cutting tool (that works with Cameo) to engrave some wedding favors for my guests. After setting up my phone's calibration, it was very easy to place my parts on this mat (I also taped them in place). I took a picture with my phone and uploaded it to my cameo, then I positioned what I wanted to engrave on the image on my computer and it did the rest, engraving exactly where I wanted it! Great product! Takes the guesswork out of where to place things on a square rug.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Bad Mat Registration Printing

In the last 2 years I have bought 2 Revain Pixscan mounts from this "Silhouette" seller. Both have not registered correctly. My Cameo 2 reads the top left label, then the top right label, but it doesn't even get to the bottom label. The only mat that works is my old 3-4 year old mat that I need to replace because it is no longer sticky. I suspect there are a large number of PixScan mats that are improperly manufactured. Note: I'm a fairly advanced Silhouette user, my photos are clean and clear,

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Frequency

ZERO STARS! - Sewing

I don't know if I'm married or something but it didn't help me at all! I googled every tip I could find, even on the Silhouette America website, and NOTHING worked. The Silhouette 3 Cameo I have cannot read the registration marks. I've tried shining a bright light, checking the registration mark on the sidebar, marking the registration marks with black marker, checking corners for bending, and doing everything that someone suggested and it still works Not! I've just ordered another one and hope

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Nothing here

Exactly what I needed!

I used to print and cut a lot with Cameo but found that the registration marks sometimes didn't read properly and I also hated wasting valuable space. When I found this rug I was very excited and when I used it for the first time I fell in love! It works so easily that I was a little shocked and expected failure, but it consistently lived up to my expectations. I love that it allows me to use the entire page to print and get the most out of my materials. I use my iPhone 6 Plus to take a photo…

Pros
  • Cutting Mats
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

My first application!

I had some Star Wars fabric left over from making the pillows and eyed this Millennium Falcon thinking it would make a great appliquΓ© but I never did and was a bit nervous about it so I followed This process: 1 ) Attach the fabric to the PixScan mat 2) Take a clear, well-lit photo of the PixScan mat (MAKE SURE THE IMAGE SHOWS MAT TO THE EDGE) 3) For PixScan, import into the Silhouette app 4) Trace the pattern and make it a clipping path 5 ) Insert PixScan mat with cloth attached and cut 6) Save

Pros
  • quilting
Cons
  • not sure

Probably not worth the headache

I was so willing to throw this piece in the trash and save myself a headache. But I took a break for a few weeks and got back to it today. My first experience with this thing almost made me cry, I was so upset. My Cameo 4 didn't pick up registration marks. Tried automatic, tried manual. I've tried everything I can think of, everything on YouTube and blogs. Nothing worked. When he finally recognized the first mark, the machine pulled him so hard that the mat swerved sideways and got stuck. I…
