Silhouette Setting For Cutting Vinyl Without Mat

This is a great feature to have the ability to cut materials without a mat for things longer like this 12 x 33 wall decal.

Silhouette setting for cutting vinyl without mat.

The second option to cut without a mat is new and exclusive to the cameo 4 models and higher. Maybe you prefer to cut vinyl without a silhouette cutting mat or maybe the material you re cutting is too long to fit on a cutting mat. Of course there isn t a ten foot mat available omg how would one store such a thing so if you want to cut longer than 24 cut without a mat. If you ve never done that before don t be intimidated by the idea of going matless.

With this feature the cameo 4 will make cuts but keep the material in place using perforation cuts in strategic places. Can t wait to see what you decide to cut without a mat. Place the vinyl onto the silhouette cutting mat with the backing paper side down onto the mat making sure the vinyl is covering the same area where the design is placed on the virtual mat in silhouette studio. If your silhouette cutting mat is brand new you may want to de stick the cutting mat somewhat by blotting it with a clean t shirt.

For the first time ever cut materials like paper and cardstock without a cutting mat. I used oracal 631 for this project and used the vinyl matte setting in the silhouette software to get a beautiful cut.
