Newbie Question

Post by mjdavis »

I am looking to buy a cutter, I am a graphic designer and am currently using a MAC. Which machine would be a better fit for vinyl lettering a Cameo Silhouette or an ECraft Electronic Die Cutter. I like the idea that no mat is necessary for the ECraft, is that the case with the Silhouette as well? I like the versatility of the length from both machines. Just wondering if one works better than the other. I realize the Cameo was just released so not sure there would be feed-back this soon. Is the SCAL software compatible with the Cameo as well?

Also be aware that not all cutting software works on a Mac. SCAL does but MT c does not.
