Silhouette cameo 2 cut through laminated paper.
All silhouette machines are capable of using the print cut feature.
Some of you more advanced silhouette users may be wondering why i didn t use the pixscan mat to cut my laminated labels i actually tried and it probably would have been successful but because i m not running the updated version of silhouette studio on my desktop computer yet though i do have it on my laptop it just got too darn.
Line segment overcut line segment overcut is a feature that is very important for cutting paper.
The new silhouette cameo 3 compared to the silhouette cameo 2 i got a bunch of questions about how to cut chipboard and or cereal boxes using the silhouette cameo after i posted my hamburger mini album the other day.
Don t miss this post.
Thinking about it i knew to successfully pair my silhouette cameo or portrait or curio with my laminator i would need need to cut or print and cut the design first laminate and then cut again.
I m trying to cut contact paper and i m using the lowest blade setting 1 but it still cuts through the paper both sticky and paper part.
Is there a way where i can cut through the sticky part only.
But after playing around with the settings and laminating pouch thickness i was able to get a perfect cut.
When it is selected the silhouette will start each line before and or stop each line after the actual endpoint instead of just pivoting the blade to turn a corner.
The silhouette will not cut to the edge of the sheet so to retain the registration marks you will have to cut or tear the edge of the sticker paper just a little.
Once you have done this carefully lay your vinyl over the top of the stickers avoiding the registration area as the reflection can interfere with the optical tool.
With print cut you can use your free silhouette studio software to create a design or use a print cut design from the silhouette design store and print it out on your home printer.
I was so stoked that i had to share.
Thank you for all your help.
Yes it s a multi step process but laminating the paper first and then cutting only once does not allow for the edges of the designs to be heat.
Use a vinyl scraper to quickly remove all the pieces of paper left on the cutting mat after removing your design.
I m new to the silhouette cameo.
When you start cutting select the default material that is closest to the material you are using.
At first i was worried that it would not cut.
I used my silhouette cameo 3 to cut these fat chubby unicorn bookmarks out.
So help is on the way.
There are times though that it might cut too deep cutting through the paper behind the vinyl or too shallow not cutting all the way through the material in some or all places.
