Loading a 4 cutting mat with a Silhouette Cameo is a simple task, though it does require some preparation beforehand. Before you begin, you will need to ensure that you have the correct cutting mat for the material you are working with. The cutting mats come in different sizes and thicknesses for different types of materials, so make sure to get the right one for your project.
Once you have the correct cutting mat, it’s time to load it into your Silhouette Cameo. Start by placing the mat onto a flat surface and make sure that it is not warped or bent in any way.
If it is warped or bent, then straighten it out before continuing. Next, carefully place your Cameo onto the cutting mat, making sure that the roller bar on the machine is directly above the top edge of the mat.
Next, use the knob on your machine to adjust the pinch rollers so that they are holding down all four corners of your cutting mat securely. Make sure that they are tightened enough so that they do not move when you press down on them but not so tight that they leave an indentation in your mat.
Finally, press down on either side of your machine’s roller bar so that it pushes down on both sides of your cutting mat and evenly distributes pressure across its surface. This will ensure that when you begin to cut, there will be no slipping or misalignment during operation and all cuts will be perfectly precise.
Once everything has been properly set up, connect your Silhouette Cameo to your computer via USB cable and launch Silhouette Studio software from there. From within Silhouette Studio select File > New Project > Cut Settings > Tool Type > Silhouette CAMEO 4-Blade Mat Cutter and then click OK to start designing for cutting on this 4-blade cutting mat!
