I got over the fears of my vinyl sliding around or feeding crooked when I purchased Silhouette’s roll feeder. If I did this, the matrix copy feature would be useless to me – as it wouldn’t save me any time. (A quick aside here: I used to always “babysit” my vinyl designs when cutting directly from a roll. After cutting, I will only save my original design. Note that the far left is my original design, while the copies in the center were created “on the fly”.
This is helpful to cut down additional design time for designs you create over and over again. Matrix copy feature: This feature allows you to design something in Silhouette Studio, and then the matrix copy feature to replicate the design without changing the original. In the Business Edition, the design is nested “on the fly”, and the original is not changed. Nesting is available in the Designer Edition, but the program nests your original design. When using tiling, your original design is not altered.Īdvanced Nesting Feature: This feature allows you to nest a cutting job to save materials. For example, if I wanted to cut a 24″ by 24″ tree on my Silhouette Cameo in vinyl, I would use the tiling feature which automatically breaks the design into 4 equal pieces on my 12″ by 12″ mat, or 2 equal pieces on my 12″ by 24″ mat or rolled vinyl cutting without a mat. After cutting, you assemble the pieces together to make your larger design. The tiling automatically breaks the cut job into smaller chunks. Tiling: This feature allows users to cut up to 24″ by 24″ with their Silhouette Cameo.
You can choose to cut either the same design or cut different designs on each machine at the same time. Multi-cutter support: If you own two or more Silhouette machines, you can hook them up to the same computer and run them both using the Silhouette Business Edition.
