What is Going On with the Portrait 4?? Unboxing and TROUBLESHOOTING!

Great content as always.

Thank you!

I have had an original Cameo for about 14 years and love it. I bought the Portrait 4 because my Cameo was having issues connecting. I am so frustrated with the new machine. I cannot get the print and cut feature to cut properly. I've calibrated, made sure there's plenty of light, and still cutting way off or not even registering to begin with.

[@silhouettesuccess]

Try closing the lid while it's trading the registration marks. Less light is better because that will reduce shadows and glare. My 3 and 4 both do better with print and cut. It's crazy.

Amazon is notorious for sending out used products as new 😕

[@silhouettesuccess]

I like them a little less each day, honestly.

[@miracles1234]

I love the looks of this little machine! I have a Cameo 4, any "reasons" why I should buy a Portrait 4? 😅🤭

[@silhouettesuccess]

You can use the heat foil pens with it, and it's super portable! 😁

[@miracles1234]

Good reasons! Lol! Thank you very much!

[@silhouettesuccess]

@@miracles1234 I forgot to add that it's super cute. 🥰🤣

When I cut on 6x6 cardstock the mat shifts and the cuts are all over the place. Any advice for how to prevent that?

[@nabiyaaiman5668]

Sooo!! With a cuttin machine to cut decals.. you don’t need to have a printer, unless its print n cut??? Right..?? Plsss help someone

[@silhouettesuccess]

That is correct. You can layer different colors of vinyl instead of printing.

@SilhouetteSuccess Hi! I've been anticipating your video and I'm concerned that the machine sounded just like my Portrait 3. 😢 Please tell me that it was only because you have a state-of-the-art microphone, and that the 4 is much quieter? 🙏🏽

[@silhouettesuccess]

It is a bit noisy. I don't have a 3 to compare it to. It's louder than the Cameo 5, though. 😬 No state of the art equipment here - besides the Silhouettes.

[@Mopisen]

I got a Camo 5 for a short period of time (it broke almost right away in the rollers so I returned it and to be honest it wasn’t a huge a difference in sound compared to my cameo 4 or Portrait 3. Almost as loud IMO

[@TracyB55]

@Piggeandfriends So sorry this happened to you. I'm dealing with a chronic illness that entails extreme sensitivity to sounds (as well as a number of other things), so I am grateful that my new C5 and P4 machines are noticeably quieter to me while cutting. The auto-blade adjustment smacking and overcut clacking are about the same, though! 😊
