Silhouette Setting For Cutting Vinyl Without Mat

Maybe you prefer to cut vinyl without a silhouette cutting mat or maybe the material you re cutting is too long to fit on a cutting mat.

Silhouette setting for cutting vinyl without mat.

Can t wait to see what you decide to cut without a mat. For the first time ever cut materials like paper and cardstock without a cutting mat. I used oracal 631 for this project and used the vinyl matte setting in the silhouette software to get a beautiful cut. Place the vinyl onto the silhouette cutting mat with the backing paper side down onto the mat making sure the vinyl is covering the same area where the design is placed on the virtual mat in silhouette studio.

The silhouette cameo can cut lengths of vinyl or anything with a backing up to 10 feet long. The second option to cut without a mat is new and exclusive to the cameo 4 models and higher. Of course there isn t a ten foot mat available omg how would one store such a thing so if you want to cut longer than 24 cut without a mat. If your silhouette cutting mat is brand new you may want to de stick the cutting mat somewhat by blotting it with a clean t shirt.

With this feature the cameo 4 will make cuts but keep the material in place using perforation cuts in strategic places. This silhouette tutorial will walk you through the three quick steps to successfully set.
