== Introduction ==
[[File:Silhouette_cameo4.jpg|250px|thumb|The Silhouette Vinyl Cutter]]
A Silhouette Cameo 4 vinyl cutter.
The Cameo 4 is a versatile machine capable of cutting up to 12 inch wide materials.
It has a built in roll feeder, or can use a cutting mat for sheets of up to 12 inches square.
The Cameo 4 is kept in the Main Room upstairs, under a blue dust cover. It usually lives on top of the drop box filing cabinet. Accessories and other blades are kept in the upstairs cupboard.
The machine has a twin blade system, with the ability to auto-detect which blades have been loaded for different operations (eg, a cutting blade and a punch blade to make weeding easier).
With the correct blade fitted the machine can cut :
*Vinyl
*Heat transfer material
*Cardstock
*Photo paper
*Corrugated paper
*Fabric
*Leather
The lab has limited stocks of different vinyls and transfer tape available in the Laser Room, individually priced. Other suppliers can be found on the main [[suppliers|Suppliers Page]]
The Cameo 4 uses Silhouette Studio software to drive the cutter. The is available for Windows and MacOS hosts. There is a free basic version that can be installed on any system and a licensed version which supports additional file formats and features. Software can be downloaded from [https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/ Silhouette America]
