Silhouette America Stamp Kit, White, 4x4

Product Information

No matter which you choose, they all have more power than the previous Cameo machines (and more than Cricut Maker). The extra power means these cutting machines are more efficient and deliver clean cuts on a range of materials, from the classic vinyl and fabrics, to metals and leather. We find this is a cutting machine that can be use for almost any craft project.

By no means does the Silhouette Mint help save you money on stamps, and in most cases, you’re actually paying more per Silhouette Mint stamp sheet. With this, it’s not meant for the casual user since you’d be paying more for the cost of the Mint and the stamp kits than you would for a regular stamp. 4. Can Potentially Waste Ink You can start making your designs in the software. When first accessing your software, you will notice 50 free pre-made designs you can install, utilize and explore. If you prefer a bold and clear impression, you will have to utilize a bit of strength and push hard onto the paper. If you want a soft or paster effect, press lightly. Then, wait for 10 minutes for the ink to completely soak into the stamp. Utilize a scratch paper to take off excess ink after 10 minutes and ensure you have a clear pattern.

The ink utilized on these stamps also offers amazing definition without any extras or spottiness, helping to regulate the stamping process. The cost of the unit and the stamp kits means that casual users would pay a lot more than they normally would for a stamp. However, I believe this unit is a great way to make money. Once your stamp completely absorbs the ink, you can stamp on scratch paper to test it until you receive a clear design. You can stamp until 50 times before having to re-ink a stamp.

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 During the printing process, you will notice a blinking light. Once the process is completed, the light will shut down. Stamp sheets enter via your stamp unit which prints your designs on them in reverse utilizing thermal printing abilities. Then, you mount the freshly made stamp on a stamp platform (included in your kit but you can also buy others separately).

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 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.

Setting up your Silhouette Mint is easy. All you need to do is follow these step-by-step instructions that will guide you through the process of setting up your device. Step 1: Open an Account 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). The same ease of use comes from brand's design software, Silhouette 3D, which helps you to create a unique designs before finally bringing them to life in plastic. Taking between 20 to 40 minutes to print most designs, the Silhouette Alta is able to print up to 130mm in height, which is pretty sizeable for those looking to get into 3D printing for the first time. Stamp Material: Since the stamp material is being directly cut, shapes with too fine of detail, or disconnected bits (text) will not work with the stamp material. Solid shapes that can be removed from your cutting mat in once piece are recommended. Unlike the Mint, no additional texture or pattern can be added using the stamp material.The stamping process of this device and program set includes 4 steps: designing your design, printing or “minting” your stamp, inking it, and stamping it on your creations. I’m one of those buyers. And I claim that it’s an amazing device that turns designs available in the Design Store into stamps as well. You will get 50 free designs. 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. The Silhouette Alta uses PLA filament to create its models, which is made from plant-based material, which sounds great but it does compete with growing food for land use. While a PLA bottle could takeup to 1000 yearsto decomposeit is easily recycled. Before you buy a 3D printer, read up on the environmental impact.

Mint: Stamps created using your Silhouette Mint™ are meant to be self stamping for up to 50 stamps. To make this happen, ink is applied from the ink bottle directly to the face of your stamp. Multiple colored inks can be applied to different portions of the stamp directly. Once ink is applied, changing colors is not recommended until all of the applied ink runs out. Ink pads are not used. After you let the ink sit on your stamp for a couple minutes, you will need to stamp off all the excess ink until a clean design is stamped. You can also switch the font size and style, apply forms and decorative edges, draw freehand, switch the size of your design or curve your text. The designing options seem endless. When 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. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. After, you can stamp until 50 times before having to reapply. This is a big timesaver over regular stamps which needs constant reapplication of in to perform.
