Silhouette Portrait 4

Cutting in paper up to 300g

Thanks to the ability to cut paper weighing up to approximately 300 g, it is possible to create unique cards, vignettes, boxes, toppers, decorations and many other projects. Thanks to this, the small device can be the basis for small businesses, help in educational institutions, or simply speed up the implementation of hobby projects.

Cutting in foil

The Portrait 4 plotter has the ability to cut backing materials without using a mat. These can be various types of self-adhesive, flex or flock foils, but also sticker sheets. This will make your work even faster, and thanks to the ability to cut directly from the roll, you can also make projects up to approximately 490 cm long.

Cutting out prints

The ability to cut prints allows you to create unique stickers, place cards, educational cards and many other original designs. Just turn on the tags in the program and then print the project on any laser or inkjet printer. Then, after placing the plotter on the mat, the device will read the markers and cut along the lines marked in the program. The working area when cutting using Print & Cut is smaller compared to standard cutting due to the need to print markers.

Software

The plotter is operated via the proven Silhouette Studio software, which must be downloaded from the manufacturer's website after purchasing the device. The free version of the software allows you to use ready-made patterns from the manufacturer's store and design your own, using available tools, fonts saved on your computer or via a tool for vectorizing simple and contrasting raster files. The program is operated in Polish and in the basic version it supports .png, .jpeg, .bmp, .gif, .tiff files.

Designer Edition

It allows you to import files in .gsd, .dxf, .svg and .pdf formats. It also offers more advanced tools for vectorization, modifying patterns and organizing fonts into folders. Allows you to create guides and layers. It can be installed on three devices and support 1 plotter.

Business Edition

It offers functions useful for people running small businesses, such as operating three Silhouette plotters from one computer. Additionally, it supports files in .dst, .exp, .jef, .xxx, .ai, .eps, .cdr formats. Additionally, it allows you to export files in .svg, .pdf, .jpeg formats. With its help, you can automatically create guide lines for convenient removal of the foil.

Electrostatic platform 

This is a completely new solution that allows you to cut thin materials without using a mat, minimizing the risk of tearing or rolling the project when removing it from the adhesive surface. This makes it possible to cut out precise patterns even from delicate sheets of tissue paper or thin paper.
An interesting solution is the possibility of cutting patterns in wafer paper on the platform, which allows you to make unique decorations for cakes or cupcakes.*

The platform is not included in the set and must be purchased separately.

*The electrostatic platform and plotter are not certified for contact with food.
