Review on 🌟 Cameo 4 Extras Bundle w/ Additional AutoBlade, Essential Tool Kit, Cutting Mat & PixScan: Silhouette Handbook, 10 White Edition by Kristen Reid

Fun and Amazing Machine, Software & Website

We have purchased the vinyl making kit which comes with the machine and everything in this box along with a few other items shown in the picture. There was a huge delivery fiasco (which we won't talk about here), but I blame Revain, not Silhouette. We made some stickers for a laptop and a water bottle after watching some videos from TheRhinestoneWorld on YouTube. Check out "How to make your first decal with Silhouette Cameo 3" (the general principles are the same if you're totally new to it). Their store has many amazing designs that are addictive. Everything is so cheap (and currently on sale) that it's easier and faster to browse and find what you like. They get a very generous credit from their store so you can buy (for free) a ton of designs that download to your computer so you don't have to stay online. With the basic version I created a sticker design very quickly. Silhouette Studios, which is amazing in itself. If you use software like Adobe Illustrator, you can quickly create your own designs productively. I might consider upgrading to higher versions as they are so cheap that you can unlock additional tools for advanced users and potentially reduce workflow time. Like others, I have compared this to competing manufacturers. I chose the Silhouette Cameo 4 because we have unreliable internet and I love how you can take full advantage of this device and its software without constant internet access. follow to get started and some literature does not (yet) talk about Cameo 4. Watching YouTube videos was helpful. I would recommend this device (and possibly others - I'm eyeing a 3D printer) from Silhouette. After a bit of training, the integration with the device, the software, and the online store is pretty impressive.

Pros
  • Die & Emboss
Cons
  • Socket Required
