Product Information

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.

Unlike regular stamps, you don’t just push these stamps against a stamp pad to take up ink. You add ink from the ink bottle on the stamp bottom instead. As the Silhouette Mint™ is powered on and is hooked up to your computer via USB cable, the free 50 images will automatically be loaded into your library. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. You can’t change the colours between stamps. Instead, you need to let the ink run out throughout all the stamps. It’s not good for individual creations.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 Small

Silhouette has a great software called Mint Studio, which comes alongside this nifty little machine. Small in size, and easy to use, the Silhouette Mint is unlike traditional stamping machines. In use, we are are able to create their own designs and even import images and photos to make bespoke stamp designs, in a variety of colours. A nice option is to use any font from you computer to turn into slogans and clever designs, which again shows easy of use is paramount. It’s simple to use and prints designs in just minutes. You don’t have to worry about utilizing any complex programs. And you don’t need countless wires to power this neat machine.To make variations, the patterns of text and shapes can be changed, as well as, the colour style. If you’re a beginner, follow the next steps to make a stamp. 1. Minting the Design 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.

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. As your device is powered on and is connected to your computer through USB cable, the 50 free images will be loaded into your library automatically.Stamp Material: The stamp material has a specific stamp material mat that you will need to use to send your design through your Portrait or CAMEO. With your stamp material atop your cutting mat for stamp material, insert the mat in your machine. Be sure to adjust the rollers accordingly so that they fit the width of the stamp material cutting mat. Also adjust the ratchet blade manually. The recommended setting for stamp material is a setting of 9. The ink utilizes on these stamps also offers amazing definition without any extras or spottiness, helping to regulate the stamping process. 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.
