    Let me know if you have additional questions about the Silhouette Portrait vs Cameo.

    The Cameo 4 and the Portrait 3 are the same version, use the same blades etc. the portrait is one number behind the Cameo. the latest versions of these are Cameo 5 and Portrait 4.
    I use the Cameo 3 (upgraded from Cameo 1) almost daily and have few registration problems. I did upgrade the design studio to Business edition because I like the extra design options.
    Some tips:
    1: if I am using print and cut I always load the mat with the arrow going in first. I do sometime I have problems if I load it in reverse.
    2: I use Nicaea mats, I get 3 mats for less than the cost of one Silhouette brand.
    3: I use Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue (green cap) to re-sticky my mat. It works better than the 2 way pens and can be done on the fly. Apply a light scribble in the corners, let dry (maybe 10 minutes) and you can start using it again.
    4: I applied white tape in a “L” shape to the left upper corner as a guide for my paper. I slide into this guide to get my paper perfectly placed for print-n-cut.

    Thanks for this video. I've decided to get a portrait instead of the Cameo 4 everyone else keeps telling me to buy. I just don't see myself needing anything bigger

    I've heard the same thing about the cameo 4. I'm glad I went with the silhouette

    I have the registration mark issue with my Cameo. My solution has been to register manually while shining a flashlight on it. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it. Looks like maybe I should have gotten a portrait as well.

    Thanks for the video. I would like to know what you have for a printer.

    I have had my Portrait 1 for years and it works great, only the powerbrick had to be replaced once.

    Thank you for making this video! I make stickers for personal use and my Cameo 2 just broke. This video helped me decide that I should upgrade to a Portrait 3.

    I have to "me too" ALL of your negative observations regarding the Cameo 4. I fought with my first one, getting ZERO help from Silhouette, to the point I couldn't return the machine. I bought a second Cameo 4 thinking I had a Lemon with the first one . SAME problems, so I gave that one away and bought a Portrait 3. Now I'm as happy as I was when I owned the Cameo 3 and earlier models. Nice video, thanks.

    im experiencing the same with cameo 4, btu i don't have problems with it recognizing the regmarks, but it still cuts so off, most of the time it's accurate and perfect cut from the top left, but slowly goes off as it cuts towards the bottom left of the page. so i gave up doing print and cut on it, too many waste of materials and time and my nerves, i'm gonna save up to buy the portrait.

    Hi, thank you so much for your honest opinions on things. I have noticed that all of the sticker makers remove the lids of the cutting machines. I assume that it is because you need to have as much light as possible. Can you please show how you removed it? I have a Silhouette Portrait too and I am not sure how to remove it. Thank you :-)

    I know we’ve chatted about this before but I have the same exact issues with my Cameo 4. It’s so frustrating because there’s no rhyme or reason. If there’s something wrong with the Cameo 4, they should recall it.

    Thank you for this! I have a Maker for a few years now and so frustrated and have been debating between a Portrait or Cameo. I mostly just use for stickers, but like being able to do more. I think this has helped me decide to get the Portrait and I'm going to just hang on to my Maker for other stuff (because it just sucks at cutting stickers).

    Do you find that you have to adjust the cut settings on your portrait? On my cameo 4, I always have to adjust the blade depth and force to keep it from shredding whatever I’m cutting.

    I mainly cut htv or vinyl labels would the portrait 3 be suitable?

  • @RealGeeNius

    Go with the Cricut maker 3. it’s like apple vs windows.

      I've heard this comparison many times, but suggesting to go with a maker 3 because of it is new

    I agree with you with Cameo 4 very unconsistent not a single bit hate that machine very much! good thing you have 50% success me I wasted 4-5 before I get it right!, if you will cut twice the same sticker you see how inconsistent that it will not cut the same location though it reads the registration mark correctly. very bad machine I think the worse machine in the history of mankind!
