The Mint is different than a traditional stamp that requires an ink pad. In fact, you’re not using a pad at all. The Silhouette Mint™ uses 5 ml bottles of ink applied directly to your stamp. The stamp will then absorb the ink, enabling it to stamp approximately 50 images before the stamp dries up. After that, just add a few more drops of ink and you’re ready to go again. Each 5 ml ink bottle has enough ink for hundreds of projects and thousands of stamps. The Silhouette Cameo range is the best all-round machine for crafters and designers. The advantage of the Cameo 4 is it comes in three sizes, and three prices, which means you can get the same range of materials to cut and uses but in a more affordable size. The largest Cameo 4 comes in at 24-inches, which makes it an industrial scale machine. The smallest is 12-inches, and the medium, our recommendation, is 15-inches. Which is better, Cricut or Silhouette? When first booting up the machine, all you have to do is plug in the power cord and the USB cord. Then on your computer, you open up Mint Studio (the program the Mint comes with) and from there you’re ready to start creating your own designs. When first opening up the program, there are 50 free premade designs that you can install, use and test out. It only takes about a few minutes to both make and print your design, which comes in handy if you’re a small business owner and you’re under the stress of demand.So what should you be looking for when choosing the best Silhouette machine for you? Well, if you're after a cutting machine, the most obvious factor to consider is the types of materials you want to cut and the size of the projects you wish to make. You can probably offset the cost of the unit. That said, if you have the money and want a cool toy to play with, I recommend buying this machine. Have you ever used the Silhouette Mint?

One of the huge differences between creating a stamp via Silhouette Mint vs the stamp material is the software used to create the design. Mint is a specialized unit for making stamps with the assistance of thermal printing abilities that provide 3D designs. The system is customizable and powerful. The base model of Silhouette Cameo 4 is 12-inches, and comes in two more models, the Silhouette Cameo 4 Plus at 15-inches and the Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro at a large 24-inches. Only the base model comes in colours other than white.It’s also fairly easy to use and prints your design in just minutes. You don’t have to worry about using any complicated programs and don’t need a dozen wires to power it up. If you’re looking to have a much easier time creating your own stamps, you can continue below to learn more about how helpful the Silhouette Mint can be. Using the Silhouette Mint Silhouette Curio 2 is a reworking and relaunch of the Curio brand that was one of the first digital craft cutters, releasing on 2015. What makes the Curio 2 different is its flatbed design, this offers a large and stable cutting area that ensures greater precision. You can create a multi-coloured stamp by utilizing your ink bottle to transfer ink onto some parts of your stamp with care. But you can’t switch colours until the stamp finishes 5 turns. Fortunately, you can re-use the stamp base if you ever want to use other stamps by simply peeling your stamp off. Before this, you should make sure the ink in your stamp has fully run out to avoid mixing ink. 4. Re-Inking

Our writers are crafters, some professional, and so they know what's needed from a new craft machine. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional yourself you can rest assured we've put these machines through their paces. The Silhouette Alta is a definite must-have for those looking to dabble in bringing their designs to life, but not wanting to invest in a full scale 3D printer. We like the compact size (it has a10-inch round and stands at about 19 inches in height) and it's very easy to use. First and foremost, take your machine out of the box. Once it’s out of the box, you can sign up your Mint at silhouetteamerica.com/setup. First, select your language. The Mint is the most innovative machine we have at Silhouette. It differs from other members of the Silhouette family because it is not a cutting machine. The Mint is a custom stamp maker, and it will change the way you stamp. In four easy steps and less than two minutes, you can have a completely original, custom-made stamp. It is as easy as designing it, Minting it, inking it, and stamping it. Once it’s inked, your stamp is good for 50+ stamps (but it often lasts a lot longer). If your PC’s operating system doesn’t meet the minimal requirements, it won’t install. If you already own the software from a previous Silhouette, update it to the latest version.To return your product, you should mail your product to: 128-3636 Steeles Ave E, Markham, ON, L3R1K9, Canada. If you’re interested in this machine, make sure to read my Silhouette Mint review before you make your final decision. Without further ado, let’s see how helpful this machine is. What is Silhouette Mint?

Then, you mount the freshly made stamp on a stamp platform (included in your kit but you can also buy others separately). This can come down to preferences, budget and how you're using your cutting machine. The Silhouette Cameo 4 has a greater cutting power than the Cricut Maker 3, for example, but the Cricut Maker overcomes this with faster cutting and can offer a cleaner edge. The Silhouette Cameo 4 is better for fabric cutters, as its larger size is useful. This handy machine fits right in the palm of your hand and prints custom stamps that you can design yourself! Its thermal printing technology results in 3D designs that you can use to personalize cards for any occasion or embellish the family scrapbook. You can make around 50 stamps until the ink needs to be reapplied, so the Silhouette Mint is cost efficient and cheap to run, to an extent (see below). The set also comes with four ink bottles and two stamp blanks, so you can get started as soon as it arrives out of the box. After inking your stamp, it takes about 10 times before I ever got a clean look. Take this as a precaution and have some scratch paper nearby to test out your stamp before using it on your project. 2. Fonts Can Be SmallWhen we test craft machines we not only examine what a product can do, but also the value it represents. We like to review them in the context of how they may be used, the cost, as well as the tech they offer.
