Encantada
El cambio ha sido excelente (tenía la cameo 4), aparte de más rápida es mucho mas silenciosa y las pruebas que he hecho con el Print & cut han sido geniales. En líneas generales un avance gigante.

Plotter de Corte más silencioso
Menudo cambio con la Cameo 4. Esta silhouette Cameo 5 Alpha la compré para actualizar mi Cameo 4, que cada vez que cortaba, chirriaba como un castillo viejo y fallaba muchas veces con las Marcas de Registro.

Con la nueva Cameo 5a, aparecen 4 marcas de registro y de momento ha ido genial. Muchísimo más silenciosa! . De momento estoy encantada.

La compré con varias cuchillas de corte con diferentes ángulos de corte, que más adelante probaré.

Con la Cameo 5a estoy cortando stickers sin problema, Vinilos de corte, etc..
