Great tips!

[@cathihatlestad7659]

I was hoping you would show me all the design studio steps on the computer screen so I can learn cut cut paper as I'm a newbie with a Silhouette Cameo 2

[@1peytonplace703]

Great tips. Thanks!

[@oscarjusto545]

Thank you so much for the information. I have been looking for a video like this one for a long time :D

Glad it was helpful!

I'm still trying to find the right settings to cut cardstock. :/ I use Nicapa mats and they are awesome! They stay clean and won't tear paper and won't leave vinyl backing on the mat. Thanks for the tips!

[@seanlastnamehere2836]

Use Textured cardstock setting, speed 6, thickness 32 (good for 100 lb cover stock ) like Hammermill digital cover. same settings work for 80-100 lb index (just reduce thickness setting by one

[@HushNinja]

Wow thanks for this! I havent heard of Nicapa before this!

[@lapdiangdympep7462]

you dint tell us about your cut settings like how much force and all ?? this quite sad :(

[@printsdesignbylori5468]

What is the standard setting for cutting the 250 gsm paper? Because it does not cut the back of the paper. I had so many paper wasted and also I've watched a lot of videos and still not getting the right setting. Can someone help me about it??

[@arthurtheartist]

did you ever figure out how to cut your paper? this is exaclty what I need a paper cutter for but it's hard to know which to get...

[@printsdesignbylori5468]

@@arthurtheartist still not yet, Sir. I just gave up trying on how to cut a paper on silhouette cameo. 😔 i've wasted not just the paper but also the cutting mats I have. 😭

[@arthurtheartist]

@@printsdesignbylori5468 That's too bad! There are more resources on her blog. Looks like it's possible but takes time to learn. Good luck!

[@madebynacy5891]

Thanks for the advice “peel up paper first” to be sure it cut through. If it doesn’t, then what are the options? Do I count on repeating the job from the very point that it ends? Thanks in advance.

[@marciaunderwood5087]

How do I find where to set the line segment overcut setting?

[@madebynacy5891]

Thank you for the informative tutorials you provide. Question for anyone that can help; the paper discussed in this video is "cardstock" I am looking for cameo 3 settings (preferably material selection) to cut "paper" from "paper pads".

[@barbaralevel7225]

Cut settings for Neenah solar white 110lb ?

[@ArTchN_Ei8ht_Industries]

Hello. I'm a new sub and new Cameo (3) user. Have you ever cut coffee filter paper on any of your Cameos? I have a Cameo 3 and I'm using Silhouette Studio 4.4 Basic on a MacOS El Capitan (MacOS 10.11.6). I've searched your page and the internet and I haven't found a clear answer yet, such as the kind of mat, blade depth, force, and speed. Thanks.

[@6mcube]

HELP!!!!! I have tried to cut my regular card stock 80 lb with a ratchet blade on STANDARD AUTOMATIC cut settings and it DOES NOT CUT THROUGH THE BACK OF THE PAPER!!! I have played with the cut settings, changed mats and purchased new mats, bought a new ratchet blade and STILL NOTHING! Then as soon as I insert he auto blade, it cuts (with the automatic cut settings)!!! Can someone possibly shed light on why the ratchet blade will not cut through this standard card stock PLEASE before I throw my machine across the room, lbs! Thanks in advance! :)

[@Kayd2111]

I know you had this problem a year ago and most likely resolved it by now lol but if I may ask, why not just keep using the autoblade?

[@LEGENDERYSTATIC]

What’s the best cut setting for papper ?

[@dianetorell6297]

I went into the HELP icon to see if I could find out how to change cut lines showing on the mat which is the area available to cut and the manual is stuck on my screen and DINGS when I press any key. Can anyone help me?

[@francis3077]

Hello, can I print and cut if I used colored paperr?

[@HopeRyan72]

Yes!

[@franmakin5643]

Slow down and you will not get so flustered .☺

[@seanlastnamehere2836]

The best way to find the right blade depth is to take a scrap piece of paper (the kind you are using) fold it in half and take the blade holder in your hand and run it across the paper with the same force you'd use for an exacto knife. When it just cuts halfway through the bottom layer, you are good to go.

[@ananambo4133]

Please help! I am trying to cut a leaf shape that I bought from a site but it will NOT trace it so I can't cut it and the baby shower is in 3 days. Help please.

Boa noite, tudo bem? vim do Brasil com pouco tempo, não conheço ou material daqui, que papel branco você indica para imprimir em impressora jato de tinta? No Brasil, além dos fotográficos brilhosos e opacos, você pode usar um chama que não é encontrado e com esse nome aqui. Me ajude, por favor?

[@MrRanggoy]

Your blade is not auto right? Its manual set?

[@rachidaanson]

It sticks to the mat

[@SilhouetteSchool]

A light grip mat can help with that.

[@HopeRyan72]

Why did I not know those things on the tray pop out!?!

[@bobbyebissette2232]

So what settings did you use????? I want to cut out a somewhat intricate design, but I have zero idea what setting to use. This was more of 1. a commercial 2. watching you weed

[@SilhouetteSchool]

If you missed the settings in the video, please expand the description and there is a link to several blog posts on the cut settings there.

[@siobhanmora7029]

Turn on line segment overcut

[@siobhanmora7029]

Make speed 2 or 3. use light grip mat.
