What settings should I use for a silhouette cameo? Thanks!

Use the default settings for Glitter Card Stock Paper...I believe the default blade is set at 10 and double cut.

I've done more than a hundred shirts and a couple of bags with this press and have had great results. I have a Cameo and the two are happily compatible. Good luck!

I've never used Silhouette personally. This software is tailored for the beginner with some advanced components. But it's not the most intuitive software to use. You can find decent tutorials but sometimes not help with exactly what you want to do. More often then not i produce what i want in photoshop and import.

Yes, the blades can be used on any Silhouette machine, even the older Silhouette SD. I have the Cameo and can't recommend it strongly enough. The full-size 12"x12" cutting area is so handy for so many projects and you can always cut small items, too.

I just used my inkjet printer. The colors come out very vivid. I don't have the silhouette machine. I think you might want it for intricate cutouts but I just scissors or a ruler and a razor knife. You need to be sure your ink is completely dry before handling the labels. I also used either spray or brush on clear oil based polyurethane because I was putting the stickers on tile around the sink in the kitchen. I wanted the tiles to stand up to washing so I used 3 coats and baked each coat on. I did not do the clear coating on other labels I made.

You can use most any background its more about coverage like you can use a 6x8 for portraits (you could even use smaller like even a 4x4 fabric the hanger bar comes in 4 sections I believe you can go down to 2 sections. the main size you will want would likelt be a 10x10 as the bars can go 9.5 high. you could also do a 10x20 which would stream out for the ground cloth. you may also consider some clamps and tension clips (the sheet is 10 and the bar is like 11ft) I would not want to hang too heavy of a background on this system but does work.

It depends on what you want to do with the Cameo. I bought it primarily to cut fabric for applique so I bought the fabric kit bundle because it included both size mats and the fabric blade. It comes with a regular blade so if I want to cut something other than fabric (like vinyl) I can use the standard blade to cut with.

I use these mats with my Cameo. They are super sticky though so use a towel and remove some of that or it will ruin your first couple of projects.

Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm just begenning and the only backdrop I have is a blue one and I want to try this digital backgrounds collection to see how it works out for me. How has it worked for you?

Unfortunately, no. That is the only thing that Cricut is lacking. The only images you can use are the ones that are from the cricut cartridges. Granted, there are a lot of images and you can take just a part of that image and use that part. If your looking to use images you already own and cut them, I would then suggest the Cameo by Silhouette. A co-worker of mine has it and uses her own images. I love my Cricut and enjoy it so much!

I am not familiar with a silhouette cameo machine but it did run thru an HP printer ok with a little assistance; only 1 page per print otherwise would jam. It is good quality paper stock and much thicker than traditional paper

I've played around with the settings (although I'm not an expert) but can not get it set, even when set for action shots, where I actually capture a shot of my son. Would you please share the specific settings to be able to capture a child's smile?

I have the Silhouette Studio Software on my MacPro with the OS X system and it works very well. I hope that answers your questions

My experience: If you hit it with plenty of light the wrinkles won't show. You want a high key, completely white background anyway. So expose high enough or you might have some extra work in Photoshop.

I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam. Then whatever wrinkles stay, I use my photo editing software, GIMP, to edit out the rest. After I got the wrinkles out initially, I started storing them tightly rolled around a dowel, and wrapped in plastic, in between shoots. That also cuts down on the dust, etc that they inevitably collect. I also keep a fabric roller ( they are cheap at a dollar store) with my studio, to roll over them just before shooting. That cuts down on the background issues. My only complaint about the studio is the lights don't seem quite bright enough. Happy shooting!

My Silhouette runs on 110, since it is an American made product I would venture to guess that what you are looking at runs on 110 as well. I would suggest that your best chance to see if they make one that runs on 220 is to contact the company directly.
