Silhouette CAMEO Silhouette PixScan Cutting Mat for use with CAMEO Cool process for Stamp and Cut -- WORKS!
I actually like this mat better than the original mats I've used... and
it is a favorite of one of my personal students too. I'll be
introducing this PixScan feature to the entire class in the next couple
of weeks, and I'm very excited about it. I've really enjoyed this
feature. Thank you, Silhouette for making this available for us and on
Amazon.com too! The only reason I can figure out why people would not
like this is if they aren't using it properly... and I'll have to admit,
it was difficult to "get" it because, at first, there wasn't much in
the way of tutorials or instruction. I haven't looked lately, but I
hope Silhouette is doing a better job at this because the technique is
well worth having -- if you know how to calibrate your camera. I never
did figure out how to calibrate my scanner. It never did do right...
and I'm a techno geek. But, the saving grace was the ability to
calibrate my camera(s). With this, I've been able to photograph my 8
1/2" x 11" stamped cardstock on the PixScan Mat and cut the stamped
images out precisely using the upgraded version of the Silhouette Design
Studio software. You have to be sure to upgrade your computer as well.
It is an easy process once these two things are done: Calibrate
camera and upgrade computer with Silhouette Design Software version
3.1.417. I have not found the need to buy the Designer version since I
have Sure Cuts A Lot and can manipulate SVG files with it and also do
the Rhinestone features and more, but my students are enjoying the
Designer edition of the software. I would have bought it if I had
needed it. You don't need the upgraded Designer program in order to do
this PixScan technique. I had figured out a way to stamp and cut without
PixScan, but it was a drawn out process. This PixScan made the task
much easier. I hope this helps!
