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.

Two different machines with different purposes. The SNC is really made to be used independent from the computer where the Silhouette is not. The silhouette works with more complex software that offers greater control in what is being cut and how it is being cut etc, the SNC software is very basically and mainly used for converting SVG files to FCM. The SNC has a greater cutting force than the Silhouette Cameo, so therefore cuts a wider range of materials. I've used it with the thinnest of vellum all the way to burlap and fairly thick chipboard...my cameo cannot cut thick materials well at all. What I love my SNC for the most is doing print and cuts - no registration mark detection step like with the cameo - so it is quicker, and for cutting out stamped images. I also love that I don't need my computer to use it. I just keep it out on my craft desk and use it easily without worrying about having to stop using my laptop to cut something.

I have only good things to say about these backgrounds. I have used them for many portraits and they look great. I did find that you have to pay attention to the size of inserted image with respect to the objects in the background. I also found their instructions clearer and easier to understand the the ones in the Photoshop manual.

Nothing. You should clip your background to the top and sides to keep it taut.

I wouldn't use Silhouette vinyl on them. You need Oracal 651 vinyl for that.

Yes, you can use this vinyl for your cutting machine. I purchased this same set for my Silhouette Cameo. It's awesome because you have a great color selection and can accomplish many projects with this purchase. The quality of the vinyl is great and I've had no problems with the vinyl peeling off projects.

It has the same kind of paper backing that most contact paper has....the kind you peel off before you apply it. I would assume that would make it possible to use with that device. I don't have the Cameo cutter, so you would have to judge for yourself. (But I would just go ahead and use it, myself. I don't like to overthink things.

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 have Windows 7, so I cannot be of much help. However, I'm sure you could get an accurate answer here: http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/ I love my Silhouette. It is the best new "toy" I have had in years!

I own both of them, and the cameo is larger obviously but I have not incountered anything that the portrait cannot do except for larger sizes. hope this helps!

I have used a cricket cutter and the eclips, I like the eclips better. I have a friend who uses a cameo I occasionally cut items for her.

Yes it works with the portrait and the cameo. This is a quote from the Silhouette site: "This replacement blade is compatible with all Silhouette electronic cutting tools".

I really like mine, but I have found the recommended blade settings for cutting fabric are not accurate. I use mine for cutting fabric a whole lot to applique and I go through matts fairly quickly. However, I have had much success cutting vinyl. if I could do it over again I would invest in the cameo for the larger cutting size. Hope this helps!

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

I have a Cricut, and it cuts really well on the Cricut. I imagine it would cut just fine on the Cameo, as well.

ANY GLOSSY SETTING SHOULD WORK, you probably won't even notice the difference unless you are a Pro or have compared different gloss settings side by side. There should be a slip of paper with the package letting you know what setting to use if you do not have the requested one or you can look it up online on the manufacturers web site.
