Product Description

Product Description

The Silhouette Portrait is an electronic cutting machine for personal use. Like a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Mac with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing, it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric, and other material up to 8 inches wide and 10 feet long. The Silhouette Portrait 2 features Bluetooth technology (US, Canada, EU only) and is compatible with Silhouettes new AutoBlade. The machine also has the ability to register and cut printed materials and is PixScan compatible. The Silhouette Portrait 2 also has a higher 2 mm clearance, so it is compatible with the deep-cut blade.

    Very intuitive to use and hard to learn at the beginning
    4 Stars
    Very intuitive to use and hard to learn at the beginning
    Between the mat instructions, the silhouette studio program and the complete lack of reference point as to were you put your paper. Prepare yourself to look a lot of paper while you get use to it.Seems like a machine for someone that already had a cutter before and not for newbies. However if you persevere (please do test with copy paper before trying the higher quality stuff) you will find a capable little machine.PS: Remember to calibrate the machine first .

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mattless cutting and sketching for the win. Love it more than my cricut maker!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021
    ***Updated Review***

    I still love my portrait 3! It makes crafting so much easier because 98% of my projects don't need a mat, and mats are one of my least favorite things about the cricut. When I want to make something, I just need to load the material into the machine without having to worry if my mat is sticky enough/too sticky.

    The reason for the updated review though is because I discovered that you can sketch WITHOUT a mat as well, which is amazing! I've been making the cutest cards and color them in by hand for an added touch. The only downside to the portrait 3 is that the rollers don't move, so your material has to be 8.5" wide to be mattless. So I plan to upgrade to the new cameo 5 because the rollers allow smaller projects that can be cut mattless.

    =======
    Matless cutting of vinyl and PAPER! I'm surprised more people don't rave about this feature. Using mats with my cricut (first expression, then maker) has always been my least favorite aspects. Matless cutting with the portrait is a game changer. It saves me time, sanity, and money on mats. I cut rolled flowers without a mat and liked how they came out. It sometimes required a little trimming to smooth the lines out but I much prefer that to- putting paper on a mat, making sure the paper is properly pressed on the mat, and taking the paper off the mat without curling or ripping the paper.

    I waited for the new cricut machines to be announced before buying the portrait because I was hoping cricut would allow mattless paper cutting. Sadly cricut remains highly proprietary and from my research mats are required for most materials except vinyl with the cricut maker 3. So glad I decided to get the portrait. It's cute, has a small footprint, and has the functions I need.
