Upgrade to Designer Edition or a third-party tool for more file-type options, offering a wider variety of software and better control of the Portrait’s smaller cutting area.
Narrow designs such as signs and banner elements can be run out to 10 feet (finesse required!).
Why to Buy
Those looking for a pint-size cutting plotter they can bring with them (or stow away when not in use) will appreciate the lower price, while retaining most of the capabilities of the Cameo.
The easy-to-run Portrait offers many of the premium capabilities of the Cameo while lowering costs by forgoing the LCD display and USB stick slot. It’s smaller too, but with the optional roll feeder, it can cut work as long as the Cameo, albeit not as wide. It cuts the same variety of materials with the same precision and tool pressure, in an impressive, toss-it-in-your-bag, featherweight 3½-pound package. However, the cutting area, limited to a little less than a letter-size page, can be a serious limitation, and the lack of untethered cutting can make it harder for teams and classes to share a single Portrait.
For Makers working small or building larger projects piece by piece, the cutting area will accomplish many of your tasks, from laptop decals to temporary tattoos to painting stencils. By using Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or third-party software like SCAL Pro or Make the Cut, this affordable machine can accurately cut original designs, unlike competitors’ entry-level plotters that largely require purchasing existing designs.

I got a Cameo from the Instructables build night program. What a great machine! I’ve cut paper, vinyl, thin acetate and a variety of other materials with no problem. It’s easy to swap out the knife with a DIY pen holder or embossing tip for even more versatility. My FIRST robotics team has been using it to make vinyl decals as a fund raiser and it’s been a huge success. Silhouette got right what Cricut got so wrong.
Till I saw the draft that was of 8946 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his free time with his pc. . His aunt’s neighbor has done this for only 8 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car .Why not try this.
