Pink Pro Craft Heat Press 9" x 12" Bundle
Love it. Came it one piece. No assembly. It's lightweight yet heavy enough to fell the quality. I've used it a few times and it's easy to use. Love the extra items that came with it. Super pleased with this item.

Silhouette White Cameo 4 w/ Blade & Tool Pack, Pen Holder, Guides, Designs
Generally disappointed with this cutting machine.

First a caveat: I have been using a Cricut Explore Air 2 for quite some time and do most of my design work in Inkscape. Many of the comments I make are somewhat comparative. (I bought the Cameo partly because I was peeved at Cricut trying to change its upload limits...) Most of what I design is cardstock based, with some limited use of htv and vinyl. Much of what I do is 3D design, so a different set if requirements than those for HTV or vinyl or sticker designs.


Pros: It is faster on many cuts (especially with cutting cardstock scorelines. )
The Studio Designer Edition (extra $$) is more robust than Design Space.
The pen adapters work very nicely.

Cons:
1: VERY NOISY compared to the Cricut.
2. The workflow is a lot messier than with the Cricut,
3. DECEPTIVE descriptions: The additional force applied is almost totally useless for many materials, even with the deep cut blade. Using the deep cut blade with high force will probably destroy the Cameo. I was unable to cut anything heavier than thin chipboard without a LOT of shenanigans with the cuts, multiple blade depth adjustments, etc. Had I known this, I would NOT have wasted my money on this cutter.
4. The print/cut feature has a rather large margin of error (1/16th inch) . Not unsurmountable, but can be a pain.
5. The print/cut process is finicky and difficult to master.
6. Scanning with the pixscan mat is not possible without a large format scanner (even with TWAIN)
7. The blades are expensive and not amenable to simple blade replacement without replacing the entire unit. This is wasteful and expensive.
8. Expensive mats.

I think if I had it to do all over again, I would not spend my money on the Cameo 4. It just has too many deficiencies.

If I had watched more videos, I might have realized that it had issues (many of them have to deal with troubleshooting problems -- which says a lot).

I think that I would probably have been less critical had I not worked previously with the Explore Air 2, and it may well be that someone starting out with a Cameo 4 and the software without any previous experience would be comfortable with it. At the same time, the Cameo 4 is far from intuitive to use.

I'm not really loving writing a less than glowing review, but do think that folks who have needs similar to mine should go into this eyes open.

Oracal 1917 Inkjet Printable Permanent Adhesive Vinyl Packs - 8.5" x 11"
As someone who typically isn't a brand specific person, I had another brand of Printable HTV and Laminate on hand and "tried" to use it for a customers order. It was an epic fail. Thankfully I had already placed my order for the Oracal Inkjet Printable Vinyl and the laminate, because I thought I was out. After the fail of the other brand name product, I was very hesitant to try again and was seriously contemplating using a waterslide decal in its place. I am so glad I gave this a try! This printable vinyl was fantastic!!! The colors were better and the ink adhesion was better too! I had no problem with my order after switching brands. Oracal for the win. I am now going to stick with this brand for good. As always Swing Design has outstanding customer service!

I love my new auto blade. It sure makes a difference when you’re using a new blade when cutting out vinyl. I had my other auto blade for over a year.

Sawgrass UHD Virtuoso SG500 Sublimation Printer & Ink Bundle
I would have definitely gone with something different had I known how much of a hassle this printer would be.. yes the set up is easy, and learning the creative studio has been easy. However I have wasted a lot of ink because it is not lining up correctly at all! I’ve watched all the videos I’ve tried the different settings. And still would not print correctly! The ink for this machine is WAY too expensive to be wasted!
