Why Wont My Cameo Cut Through Heat Vinyl

In most cases there are two quick fixes that will fix the issue and get you cutting successfully in a hurry.

Why wont my cameo cut through heat vinyl.

Load the cutting mat containing the vinyl with your design into the cameo silhouette cutting tool. I am so disappointed with the cameo 4. I tried pushing the carriage to the sides but it just won t budge. Waited and waited for the rotary blade.

Now i don t know why the cutting head won t slide up to the sides. It s stuck on the left side. What a test cut does is cuts a small square with a triangle inside approx 1 4 inch in the top left corner. I haven t used my cameo for 3 months and kept it in the box.

When cutting adhesive vinyl or heat transfer vinyl a kiss cut is used to cut the vinyl but leave the carrier sheet or backing intact. Now important do a test cut. Place your htv on a cutting mat with the shiny side facing down and adhesive side facing up. Get your vinyl from jsi signs.

Now go to cut settings. Select your setting you would like to use. If you ve just replaced your blade and are having this problem you probably have the wrong blade. I hate wasting money like this.

The test works just great but when it goes to cutting out the actual item nothing. It won t cut with tool 2. Like in this case the option for the heat transfer vinyl is heat transfer smooth placement. Hi i have the cameo 4 and my desings are cutting through the vinyl like they are supposed to but the issue is that some of the words aren t cutting at all i checked the cut lines and its not that and also on some of the designs it is almost like the vinyl moved because my writing isn t lined up on the vinyl like it is on my computer.

This will show you how to make sure your cameo 4 blade is tightened correctly. I got it so i could cut felt. The brown serrated bands would also do this up and down motion with all that weird sound. I have actually contacted silhouette but no response so far.

If your cricut cuts through the backing there are usually one of two possible issues. The same goes for the portrait 2 autoblade. Cricut machine does not cut through my material if your cricut explore or cricut maker machine is not cutting all the way through your material or is only scoring the material this issue can usually be resolved with some basic troubleshooting. One of the most common issues from silhouette cameo beginners is that their cameo 3 autoblade is cutting through the vinyl or other material and the backing.
