Great video mike
to the problem with loading the material: You can actually press the load button before you put in the Material. There is a sensor on the left half of the machine (little square) wich detects the material, so you can use both hands for loading it in.
This was so well thought out. Thank you. It is a pleasure to find someone who gives such detail reviews. Thank you very much again.
GREATLY Appreciate you taking the time to watch 💯💯💯🙏🏿
Thank you Mike! I’m currently trying to find out which VC to buy and this kept me from being hasty.
FINALLY A REAL _PROs AND CONs_ VIDEO LIKE YOU DIDNT SOUND LIKE THE BUYERS INEXPERIENCE IS THE FACTOR.
AWESOME VIDEO AND NEW SUBSCRIBER.
GREAT VIDEO TEEZ
Appreciate it 💯🏁
good honest review, I was thinking to get this cause last time I used was the Cameo 3. I never really trust the sticky mat, so i always put 6 small masking tape around the corner and edges and never had a problem with it.
Thanks for watching!
video starts at 1:30
Thank u! 🤗
hi mike the other thing is thick card stock it wont cut, what other blades are available do you know ,i was frustrated because i couldnt get it to cut then it cut the first and the second would not, what can i do.Thank you for the review.
I appreciate the video. My only suggestion would be to lessen the intro.
Broke down the comparison well!
@silhouette why so much pain!!!!!!!!!!
Print & cut is the worse when doing on that 24in cutting mat s2g lol
Yes, that eraser issue drives me nuts! I literally have to open another program just to erase and then back to silhouette to finish up... ridiculous. Also I have the 12 inch version of this and the Cameo for some reason every now and then cuts the mat versus where I have the vinyl. It's showing correctly on screen in the program but the machine does its own thing 🤷🏽♀️. Please don't get me started on the Bluetooth issue.🤦🏾♀️ Nevertheless I love it when it does right.
Bluetooth on mine loses connection half way through a job a lot of the time. Seems a bit flaky. I don't use it any more, life's too short.
I read that you need good lighting so the machine can see what it’s cutting. People add an led light strip above the cutter for when it’s operating
Thanks for the video Mike! I’m going to send you a message on the group #SQUAD I need to show you something about loading that might help you. Jason
This may have helped with a decision I’m trying to make keeping this before my 30 days expire! 😢
Have you done the firmware update that gives you 5 seconds to load the mat? I am having issues when I set it to double cut, even with a 12” mat the registration on the second cut is off.
I did the firmware install and yes that works but to cut with registration marks I haven't been able to use that so I tried with off set around designs that worked !!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for watching !!!!!!!!!!!!!appreciate the feed back as well!!!!!!!
Does the grid on the screen in the program represent 12x12 or 24x24??
If I fill up my while screen, does it fill the whole 24x24 area, or would it just cut in the top left quadrant? (The 12x12)
It has all three but there's a half inch gap on all sides , appreciate you taking the time to watch 💪🏿🙏🏿💯🙌
@@MikeTees thanks Mike. I wasn't seeing the part where 24x24 was available..
But that was because I hadn't yet registered my machine.. I get it now.. but also, the "AB" Portrait vs. Landscape, I used to see that on my Cameo 3, but never knew what that was b/c I was always on a 12x12, but it all makes since now..
$799? Nah... retail has been $499 since these were introduced. They're finally back in stock pretty much everywhere, so the prices are holding steady at $499. I do agree a stand would be great. These are just too big for a tabletop machine.
Use the auto-feed feature. so you don't have to handle it with both hands.
I was going to say the say, use the autoload it works.
Am i still able to print out a image and have the cameo cut around it? As long is it’s not bigger than the mats guide line?
I do it with offset you can try with the registration marks but for some odd reason my registration wont work I have cut through a design !!!!!!!!
Use scotch tape at the edges. I never use the tacky part of the mat.
Never thought about that lol.thanks
My mat does not stay straight. What am I doing wrong with the loading. It doesn't seem like the right side of the mat is locking- even though its locked
*_I still have issue_* with this but you can hold up button for 2 or 3 seconds and that gives you some time to try to load it in there between the lines , Hope this helps ! thanks for watching Greatly appreciate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MIke
Question , Did you ever get answer on the overlapping issue. I just purchased my machine 3 months ago . Ran less than 12 items cut , and now getting over lap and misalignment during the cutting sequence.
thank s
FRank
I reinstalled 4.3 but then it wouldn't work on my cameo 4 pro so I had to put 4.4 back on the Mac so for right now I ONLY use it for 4 a single decal at time imma make another video over cameo 4 pro !
@@MikeTees so I'm getting the overlapping as well and it has to do with feeding into the machine and the rollers that pull it in. I just got mine and was so excited. The roll feature was what I was after as I had the 4 with the roll feeder and loved it. The pro does not pull and advance well at all. I'm trying to find a solution.
If you make eraser 1/2”, it’s gonna get bigger if you zoom in. That’s what happens. It’s still 1/2”.
Hi .. I just started with the Pro ... my one makes more noise then my old 3 .
What do you have to say about the noise ?
I think there loud period but I love cameo sort of a love hate relationship lol!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for watching greatly appreciate you!
For the eraser problem just scale the design bigger until the eraser is the size u need it.
I tried that the erase method used to stay small when you would zoom in and all though the have the eraser function able to scale down its still huge when the image is zoomed in I ise 4.3 and 4.4 silhouette design on 2 different computers Thank you Greatly appreciate you ! For taking the time to watch. 💯💯💯
If you had to do it again would you purchase the Pro? Also have they made any upgrades since the release?
_Afew but_ not the ones im looking for and probably not until they get this one together, thanks for watching I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT !!!!!!
i sold the pro cause it is hard to use
Mike which cutter is that with the lcd screen on right side?
Cameo pro 4
Look like you're in my city I just bought one and need guidance
Canton ohio hit mae
Your supposed to be able to not use the mat but if you don’t it’s just a mess and waste of vinyl time and money.. Finally got it to work right for a while and now I’m having blade issues keeps saying carriage 1 no device found after I just successfully cut tried everything to fix it so now I’m waiting in line to hopefully get some useful info from silhouette and I’m in the middle of doing a big order for a client 😩Got in Jan sad all these issues for 500 I have to find something better and more reliable ASAP... sorry about the rant..lol Great Video tho appreciated 👍🏽
I feel your pain 😞I haven't did a follow up video because to many issues, Thanks for watching I Greatly Appreciate ya!
This Machine is just ugh at the moment
What other machine can you use instead of the pro?
I have cameo 3 cameo 4 cameo 4plus and the pro , but when it comes to vinyl cutters there's several like Roland gtx or vinyl master ultimately goe with what you can afford or what works best for you , Thanks for watching Greatly Appreciated!
@@MikeTees Yeah its more i havnt got anything yet ... So happy to be told the best cutter is this under 1500$
The cameo 3 or 4 reg but that's just me the pro takes a little bit more time and work there are some issue with the pro but like I said goe with what you feel may be the best option for you looking forward to seeing what you get so please make some content so I can check you out and support you on your journey !
I'll just stick with the 3 😬 unless someone wants to send me a 4 😁
lol forreal appreciate you watching !!!
the three is great, I have a 3 and a 4. I'd have had another three if any were available when I wanted a second machine. Not much difference that I can tell for what I use them for.
Have these issues been resolved or are they still happening?
Still doing research on it but currently still having issues thank you for watching Imake all sorts of content like this please browse around 💯💯💯
One more question you stated that have the pro and the plus. In your opinion which is a better buy?
Is it me, or is the eraser actually scaling with you magnifying the image?
Thanks for the thoroughness of review, I appreciate it as someone looking to dive into one of these to create stencils.
The eraser def. Scales as you zoom in I got another one coming out soon thanks for watching Greatly Appreciated 💯💯
IT HAS AN AUTO LOAD, PRESS LOAD FIRST THEN LOAD IT WITH 2 HANDS
Yess found this out after making video thank you
Just use the automatic loader.
So I just bought the pro and love everything but the roll feed advance. It does not advance with roll feed very well at all. Silhouette company has been less than helpful.
Tring to find out now I messaged them / as well appreciate you taken the time to watch Greatly appreciate you!
Hey Lynn! Silhouette would like some more information to better assist you!
"What size roll? What length are you cutting/feeding?"
@@HeatTransferWarehouse I use 12” and 21” on the roll feeder and when I am cutting it does not advance well and it puts my spacing off on my design as it is cutting. I have the pressure slide in the right position but it moves anywhere from 1/4” to 1/2” side to side or doesn’t advance straight.
@@lynnadams7853 what is your email address? We would love to get some pictures / videos to pass on to Silhouette!!
Honestly I only use silhouette to cut out my designs, I use correl for everything else like designing and actually editing, only use silhouette to cut out the finished product, way easier that way, not a good program to design on at all.
I also don’t use the Mat it comes with and I upgraded my vinyl, use 3m or orocal not that Michaels crap, that vinyl isn’t quality and it doesn’t work good at all, it’s to thin and also cuts horrible, but 3m vinyl is good and same with orocal.
But yeah loose the Mat and the other pieces, you don’t need them trust me, mine works fine.the rest of the pieces are crap.
Thank you for the tips 😊 🙏🏼 Also appreciate you taking the time to watch and offer awesome tips continue to be Great 💯
Im very frustrated with pro
I am as well working on a second video pros and cons 2 and I have lost to 1000 dollar job due to it cutting in wrong parts which will be in the video i definitely share in your frustration !!!!!!
@@MikeTees im now little by little figure out whats the prob with this pro . I quit using vinyl with no mat.
So i am limited to 24*24 and in my country theres no 24*24 mat. Frustration again! No backup in future.
your con #1 false . eraser is the same size proportionally, it only looks bigger because you're zooming in lmao! look at the grid! did you try exchanging your matt? it looks like a manufacturing error.
Thats a LONG intro lol
yes @Clive Watson , Im going to make shorter one appreciate you stopping by to check me out happy holidays
LLOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG!
WHERE‼️? Did you pay $799 for you Silhouette Cameo Pro 4 24 in when they have always retailed for $499 and yoI can catch them on sale for $449 stop lying man!
Nothing pro about this machine. It's very amateur and not exactly a great machine. I've had one for awhile now and it's frustrating at times. Bluetooth range is comical. Invest in a Graphtec or Roland if you are using this for anything professional. The money you save on wasting material and headaches will be pay you back the difference.
