The 24" Silhouette CAMEO Pro is finally here...and it's 4" larger than Silhouette America initially promised - a secret I've been keeping for what feels like an eternity now!  I'm soooo thrilled I can finally tell you that following MONTHS of delays due to the pandemic, you can now pre-ORDER the 20" Silhouette CAMEO Pro 24" CAMEO Pro or a Silhouette CAMEO Pro Bundle from Swing Design with FREE shipping. 

Unlike the change to the width, the Silhouette CAMEO Pro price has not increased above the initial $499.99 price tag which was announced in May 2019. To find out more about the largest CAMEO machine including changes from the CAMEO 4 and CAMEO Plus vs CAMEO Pro, what comes in the box, Silhouette CAMEO Pro set up, and where to find 24" vinyl rolls... read on! 

Where to Order Silhouette CAMEO 4 Pro

The Silhouette CAMEO Pro is available for pre-order immediately with shipping later this month from Swing Design. As always Swing Design has the CAMEO Pro machine and Silhouette CAMEO Pro Bundles with 24" vinyl and extra tools - which ship free. You can also take advantage of the financing option up to 12 months.

 

Got your 24" material from somewhere else, don't want a CAMEO Pro bundle, or don't want to wait?  Silhouette America also has a very limited supply of 24" CAMEO 4 Pro machines to order which are shipping immediately  is currently sold out. 

Silhouette CAMEO Pro Features

The 24" Silhouette Cameo Pro has the same features and cutting capabilities as the Silhouette CAMEO 4 and the 15 inch" CAMEO Plus including the ability to cut with or without a cutting mat and use the specialty tools including the Rotary Blade 3mm Kraft Blade, and the Punch tool.  There are some differences including the roll feeder, rollers, and roller bar, but not a lot between the CAMEO 4 and CAMEO 4 Pro.

Users will notice two significant changes when comparing the CAMEO 4 vs CAMEO 4 Pro. Unlike the CAMEO 4 and CAMEO 4 Plus, the CAMEO Pro roll feeder is not built in and the roller bar was re-designed to stabilize it. 

The 4-piece detachable roll feeder for the CAMEO Pro, has also been re-designed to account for the presumably heavier 24" vinyl rolls and HTV.  

Being able to cut 24" wide by 60' long means you can make some pretty big vinyl decals, signs, stencils and heat transfer vinyl projects so of course you're going to want to pick up some 24" vinyl, stencil material and transfer tape. 

Everything else is the same between the CAMEO 4 and Pro..which means the CAMEO 4 Pro also includes the following features: 

• Increased Downward Force - up to 5kg (5000 g) to allow for the cutting of thicker materials including leather, mat board, balsa wood and craft foam
• Increased Cutting Speed and Acceleration of about 2x Faster than CAMEO 3
• Higher Clearance - raising to 3MM (from 2MM)
• Ability to use Silhouette Rotary Blade
• Ability to use the 2mm and 3MM Silhouette Kraft Blades
• Single tap "Type B" AutoBlade (to reset)
• Larger Tool Carriage Housing 
• Gear Driven Tool Carriage to accommodate C Tools: Rotary Blade, Kraft Blade, Punch tool and Auto Blade "B"
• Touch Panel
• Auto Tool Detection allows for the software and machine to detect if the tool in the carriage is a sketch pen, blade, auto blade, etc
• Built in Cross Cutter
• Retractable Cover
• Automatic Mat Loading sensor

The newly designed rollers can be adjusted to any width allowing for materials and cutting mats of any size to be loaded and cut including 12x12" Silhouette CAMEO cutting mats and the 15" CAMEO Plus mats.

Just slide the right roller bar along the bar to the correct position based on the material size and lock it into place with the roller bar lever. 

Silhouette CAMEO 4 Pro Unboxing

 

The first thing you will notice about the CAMEO Pro when you get it - is it's massive and heavy. 

Silhouette CAMEO Pro Dimensions and Specs

The CAMEO Pro shipping box weight is 26.10 pounds with the box measuring 39" x 12" x 9.75". 

The profile of the CAMEO 4 Pro is identical to the smaller Silhouette CAMEO 4 and CAMEO Plus with a depth of about 6.5" and a height about the same.  

The most important dimension to most users will likely be the full width which is almost 34.5". 

I know it's considered a desktop cutter, but ideally the CAMEO 4 Pro needs a stand like most other 24" vinyl cutters offer.  Here's to hoping...until then I'll have to use the one I DIYed to conserve space on my craft table.

What's in the Box? 

Out of the box, all 24" Silhouette CAMEO Pro machines include: 

• 24 x 24" Cutting Mat 
• Autoblade (Type B) - Single tap rest auto adjusts blade to match cut job material

• Autoblade Adjustment Tool 
• Power and USB cords 
• Built in Cross Cutter

Where to Find 24" Vinyl and HTV for Silhouette CAMEO Pro?

One of the biggest concerns with those interested in buying the CAMEO Pro prior to its release was the availability of 24" vinyl rolls.  

I’m happy to let you know that we worked with some retailers and have found where you can find 24" vinyl rolls, 24" Oracal vinyl roll bundles and 24" sheets. This will not only save you time from having to cut down, but will also allow you to use the full width on the CAMEO Pro.

A note of warning, the 24" x 150' rolls were too heavy and did not cut well directly from the roll on the CAMEO 4 Pro. We tested shorter length 24" rolls including 30' (10 yard) Oracal vinyl rolls and had no issues cutting when the full roll was placed in the CAMEO 4 Pro roll feeder.
