The Silhouette Cameo Pro MK-II is a large-format cutting machine with an expanded 24-inch cutting width, which can be fed with material on rolls as well as on adhesive mats. It is capable of cutting a wide range of materials, including vinyl, paper, cardstock, fabric, and thin leather. Additionally, a built-in cross cutter can cut roll stock for you at the end of a cutting session. Pen plotting is also possible using purpose-made or user-supplied pens.

This machine is especially suited for large jobs (> 12" in any direction) or when feeding vinyl directly from a roll. If you are going to cut or plot on thin/delicate materials like copy paper, anything rigid or too thick to be fed on rollers, or want special effects like embossing or engraving, consider using [[Cutting Machine Silhouette Curio 2|Silhouette Curio 2]] instead.

== Usage ==
=== Starting the Machine ===
Power on the machine by pressing and holding the power button on the right side.

=== Preparing the material feed ===

# Choose material: foil on a roll, or Cameo mat
## Roll: attach roll support under the front of the cutter, adjust width and place roll onto support
## Mat: remove roll support if needed, ''[mat attachment instructions pending]''

# Adjust the rollers so that the outermost ones sit close to the edge of the foil/mat, and the rest are evenly spaced across. ''If the mat twists as it is loading, check again that the outermost rollers are in a good place.''
# Push the material up against the intake
# Line up your material with the alignment indicator to the left of the intake
# Press ⌃ button at bottom edge to load material

=== Tool selection ===
# To change tools: pull forward on tool holder's protruding tab, lift the tool upward. Insert the new tool using the same procedure, in reverse.
# The all-white cutting tool is “auto depth” one, suitable for cutting when you are unsure of the exact settings.

=== Software preparation ===
# Start ''Silhouette Studio'' on the computer next to the cutting machines.
# Select Cameo Pro Mark 2 in the top right white box. It should say "ready" in green letters, if not, check that it's
## Turned on
## Connected via USB
## Has material loaded (try unloading and loading again)
# Open your design and adjust its size and placement.
# If using the Cameo grid mat for precise placement, select ''Cameo Mat'' from the options on the right side of the window, and adjust the transparency slider so you can see lines and numbers.

=== Cutting ===
# Click the '''SEND''' tab.
# Select the tool(s) you inserted and the material you are using.
# Adjust the force and cutting depth settings.
# For textile transfers, stencils, and use cases, choose '''Mirror''' (unless you have already mirrored your design, earlier in the process).
# Click '''Send'''.
# Your design will now be cut / drawn / engraved

* Press the ⏸️ button in the center of the control panel arrows (only lit while cutting)
