Really great tute Elly! Very informative I also use both machines (Cameo 3/4 and Juliet) simultaneously on certain projects - they’re like bookends at either end of my desk lol - and they work in conjunction with each other. I feel I’ve invested too much time in Silhouette Studio (which I love) and those machines to abandon them, but I’m in awe of the accuracy, speed and quietness of Juliet. Blessed to have the best of both :) Thank you, as always :)

For real leather, neither. You need a machine that can cut through tough hide well. Keep in mind that leathers entire purpose in life is to keep things out. It's animal hide. A teeny, tiny blade isn't going to cut it..... well, consistently. Faux leather - that can be a different story, but it's still can be difficult to cut.

There is no way to compare downward force brand to brand straight across the board. Silhouette tech specs here - www.silhouetteamerica.com/featured-product/cameo-5?c=bc Siser info can be found on their site too.... www.siserna.com/ However, the max downward force listed is completely dependent on the user learning how to use their machine. The actual user behind the machine makes all the difference.

Both will have a learning curve in general. The biggest thing we see is Cricut users coming into it and trying to compare to what they knew or how they did it. That can hold you back from learning.

I have watched your whole video very informative thank you very much , I am a cricut user and I am absolutely done with it .. I do a lot of print and cut especially with clear or holographic laminate over it .. I am trying to decide between to siser or the cameo 4 … which machine do you think is best for print and cut with laminate over it? I think j saw the cameo the laminate had to stay inside of the sensor lines but on the siser you could cover those up with the laminate age and that didn’t matter .. is this true? Any input? Thank you 😊
@SwiftCreekCustoms
Жыл бұрын
So far, the results for reading marks with Siser machines over laminate and holographic beats the Cricut and Silhouette. Since Silhouette uses a laser eye for print and cut, it reflects off the material more. Siser Juliet and Romeo have a camera. That doesn't mean you may not encounter an issue or two, but the camera seems to have fewer issues and be much more accurate in general, but specifically on those materials. We've had several group members using laminate & holographic with great results. It will take time to learn a new machine and software.

You can use other replacement blades if you choose to do so. You'll need to test that and also make sure they cut the same. 3rd party blades may have a different offset than a Siser blade. This means you'd have to adjust for that offset on Send tab in the software. You would notice this most on print and cut projects.

Is there a way to make the machine make that fold by applying pressure with a blunt type tip or with a pen without ink instead of a half-cut line? The pen would be placed in the marker holder and already in the program, that line is indicated, the finish or pressure that must be exerted on the material to create the fold.

I enjoyed using it in the past, but I had to replace my pc laptop, and since then, it will not recognize the device when I attempt to cut the design. I assume it isn't working with the newer Windows software. So, I think it's time to upgrade. I really would like to make sublimation T-shirts for myself, family, and friends, not as a business. Would the Siser Juliet or Romeo be better for this type of project or one the newer Silhouette's?
