How Do You Do a Kiss Cut on Silhouette Cameo 4?

The Silhouette Cameo 4 is a great tool for any crafter, artist, or maker. With the ability to cut and draw on a variety of materials, the Cameo 4 has become an invaluable tool for many. One of the most useful techniques that can be done with the Cameo 4 is a “kiss cut”. A kiss cut is when you cut through just the top layer of material and not all the way through the backing.

This allows you to make intricate designs or lettering on items like stickers, t-shirts, and other items.

To do a kiss cut on your Silhouette Cameo 4, first make sure your material is securely attached to your cutting mat. You will need to use transfer tape to ensure that your design remains in place while being cut. Once your material is securely attached, you will then need to open up your Silhouette Studio software and create or upload your design that you wish to have kiss cut.

Once your design is ready to go, select the “Kiss Cut” option in the Cut Settings menu on the right side of the screen. This will tell your Cameo 4 how deep it should be cutting through your material. If you are using thicker material like cardstock or vinyl, then you may need to increase this setting so that it cuts all the way through.

Next, select “Send” in order to send your design and settings over to the Cameo 4 machine itself. The machine will now begin cutting according to your settings and once it’s done it will beep 3 times indicating that it’s complete.

Once complete, carefully remove your material from both the cutting mat and transfer tape if applicable. Your kiss cut should now be visible on whatever material you were using!

Conclusion:
Kiss cuts can be an incredibly useful tool when creating intricate designs with Silhouette Cameo 4 machines. To do a kiss cut with this machine, make sure that your material is securely attached onto a cutting mat with transfer tape if necessary, create or upload a design into Silhouette Studio software, select “Kiss Cut” as a setting in Cut Settings menu on right side of screen before sending over to machine itself – once complete carefully remove from both cutting mat and transfer tape if applicable – then enjoy!
