I hope to get a silhouette cameo on Black Friday. I’m looking to cut bazzill thick cardstock for backgrounds and large titles in 12x12 size. Which cameo am I looking for? Does the 12” have a 12” cutting platform? Thanks!!

The Cameo 4 has the capability you want and more. It’s the only Cameo they sell now.

On their website the cameo 4 is $299.99.
What would you expect this to be discounted for BF? Is Amazon the best place to keep an eye on?

I get so confused when I look at items with different features. I remember when Cheerios came in one flavor, and grocery stores were a lot smaller.

I just bought a used Cameo 4 on Facebook marketplace for $100. If you don't mind a used one check on there.

Does the 12” have a 12” cutting platform? Thanks!! I should have thought to mention that if you are mainly doing titles in a 12x12 size, you might get away with a Portrait, which I think cuts just a little shy of 8.5x11. My first cutter was the Wishblade, which cut that size. I did 12 by 12 titles by turning them sideways on the mat, and splitting words or phrases if necessary. However, once I realized the potential of the machine, I eventually wanted the 12x12 capability and got a bigger machine. It is definitely easier to do titles for a 12x12 page, but you can also cut entire page backgrounds, bigger gift boxes than the Portrait can cut, and the Cameo 4 can cut materials that the smaller Portrait can’t. |
