intricate projects of all sizes from small (1/4" wide) to large (12"

The Silhouette Cameo can cut materials without a mat. Cricut
cutting area is limited to a 12" x 24" mat while the Cameo can cut up
to 12" x 10 Feet in length. ... Silhouette has a much larger print then
cut capability but I have not used it yet so I can't comment too much on that at
this time.

To use the Silhouette Cameo, you'll need a compatible laptop
or desktop. This is because Silhouette Studio is an advanced program that
requires more resources than what a Chromebook or tablet can provide.

external images that are in a basic raster image format (such as PNG, JPG, BMP,
GIF, and TIF file types).
