Key features of Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro

Capabilities of the Cameo 4 PRO

The latest model from manufacturer Silhouette is also the largest plotter in the company's history. The device has a working field as wide as 60cm and up to 18.3m long and replaces the popular Graphtec CE lite model on the market. The Silhouette Cameo 4 PRO plotter is definitely no longer a typical hobby plotter, but dedicated for professional use in one's own business or company.

Working field

The working field of a plotter is nothing more than the maximum size of material it can cut on. As with previous Cameo models, it is possible to cut materials with and without a mat.

Cutting with a mat

Cut all materials that do not have a backing such as paper or fabric, for example, on a mat. A 61cm x 61cm mat is included with the plotter. You can also use smaller mats from this manufacturer with the plotter - for example, the PixScan mat.

Cutting without a mat

One of the main applications of the Cameo 4 PRO is cutting self-adhesive or T-shirt iron-on films - flex and flock. Such materials can be cut without a mat - straight from the roll on a maximum area of as much as 60cm x 18.3m!

The plotter has adjustable rollers so that you can place film widths:

• Letter (19,8-22,2cm)/A4

• 12” (28,1-30,5cm)/A3

• 13” (31,9-34,3cm)

• 15” (35,9-38,2cm)

• 20” (49,6-52,0cm)

• 24” (59,8-62,1cm)

Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro and film cutting

In addition to a large cutting area without a mat, the Cameo 4 Pro also has other conveniences when cutting film. One is a built-in cutter that allows you to cut the pattern from the roll of film. The other is a film feeder that comes with the plotter to make it easier to cut directly from the roll.

Tools

Compatible tools with the plotter significantly affect its capabilities. See what accessories you can use with this plotter and the possibilities they offer.

Automatic blade

The plotter comes with an automatic blade that allows you to cut in materials such as: paper up to about 300-320g, film (self-adhesive, flex, flock) or label paper. This makes the Silhouette Cameo 4 PRO perfect for any creative or sprapbooking studio. The large format of the plotter will allow you to speed up your work, create boxes as well as three-dimensional paper sculptures. While the foil cutting will be perfect for companies that create iron-on cards, wall stickers or balloons.

Punch tool

An accessory also perfect for anyone working with foil - especially for detailed projects. Punch tool creates small holes to make it easier to remove unnecessary parts of the design (known as weeding).

Rotary blade

The manufacturer and in this model did not disappoint us with its versatility. The device is also compatible with a rotary blade for cutting thin fabrics, felt or delicate tissue paper. Thanks to this, the plotter will also work well in sewing studios, and the large format of the mat will certainly allow you to create many amazing works.

3mm Kraft Blade

With Cameo 4 PRO you will also be able to cut in soft materials up to 3mm thick, such as foamiran, or creative foam. This makes it possible to create many interesting accessories for the home as well as teaching materials for children.

Markers

The plotter can not only cut out, but also sketch. With the device you can use the original Silhouette markers or with the help of the marker holder you can put any marker in it. The sketching effect will find its use in many scrapbooking works.

Software

The dedicated software for the Cameo 4 PRO is the extensive Silhouette Studio graphics program included with the device. It allows you to design your own designs and personalize them.

However, owners of CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator do not need to learn how to use the new program - thanks to the Silhouette Connect plug-in, it is possible to operate the plotter directly from these programs.
