silloutte cameo 2

[bigj2552]

the new version is out

anyone have one to give some insight ?

we had the original one 2 yrs back, but didnt have the customers to buy / look at products then lol -so sold it

thinking of maybe getting the new version one.....

or would one be better with larger format Chinese one ?

I dont think anything is different as far a cutting force, dimentions ect, they seem to have just tarted it up a bit, put a cross cutter on the back and a different face on it.

i noticed few things listed. new things compare to old one are touch screen, usb - so no need for pc. this can be good in some places like markets etc... i think it could be good idea.

• Steel spring rollers for improved tracking and accuracy
• Side compartment for the storage of blades and/or pens
• Fibreglass reinforced drive belt

rest of them are cosmetic i think... I tempted to buy one for my contour cutting of subli flock and transfers, but not to much room on my desk atm...

I have one on order (which should arrive Mondayish) to replace my current Cameo 1. The thing that sold me was steel spring rollers as the current plastic ones seem to have worn down and as a result aren't pulling/tracking the vinyl just as accurately as it used to. We're talking less than a mm here but I can see it if I look close enough. I doubt that would get any better with time and usage. Currently the Cameo 1 has little plastic rollers which fit into a groove to allow for movement (see pic) - don't get me wrong the Cameo 1 is an absolute workhorse and I'd recommend it to anyone but after nearly two years of daily work the newer model might be a better investment.

You can use the cameo 1 without a pc paul, you can use a memory card in the slot.

alright... I thought its a new thing. looks like it isn't lol

I think the new one will be sturdier and probably more reliable (and hopefully less waste too).

I'll let y'all know what its like midweek, after setup and all, but the new one will replace the existing one with the C1 going into standbye in case of emergencies or needing to set two cutters up at once.
