Technical specifications
Silhouette Cameo 4 desktop cutting machine
A Cameo 4 cutter contains a very sharp blade that is controlled by a computer. The blade can move precisely to cut shapes out of materials such as paper, card, adhesive vinyl and heat transfer vinyl.
Create designs using Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer or Silhouette Studio software.
Design Constraints
Maximum material dimensions: When designing graphics for the Cameo cutter, keep in mind that it can only cut to a maximum width of 300mm. For vinyl which comes in rolls, the maximum width of 300mm still applies but longer graphics can be cut in one job (1m for best results).
Material depth is a maximum of 3mm if a 3mm Kraft blade is available to use.
Prices
Cameo Cutter Sticker vinyl $4.59 per metre
Cameo cutter can also cut a variety of other materials but they will need to be provided.
