Silhouette’s game-changing desktop cutting machine—the Silhouette Cameo® 4 Pro—is here! Now with the Cameo 4 Pro, there are even more cutting possibilities. The Cameo 4 Pro can cut up to 24 inches wide, and like to its predecessor but it’s got some brand new features. With an all new, dual-motor system, you can experiences increased power and speed. The Cameo® 4 Pro is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems and utilizes Silhouette Studio®, the dynamic software behind any Silhouette cutting machine. And as a Silhouette user, you’ll have access to over 150,000 designs at the Silhouette Design Store. You are what you make, so make something great!

ALL New Features

It has all-new technology to increase your efficiency and help you do things you haven’t been able to do before. Now you can cut thicker materials, fabric without a stabilizer backing, and paper without a cutting mat.

More Powerful Motor in Dual Carriage

The dual carriage on the Silhouette Cameo® 4 Pro packs quite the punch now. The primary tool chamber is the chamber you are more familiar with. It has a standard force setting of up to 210 gf, allowing you to cut basic material types. The secondary chamber provides increased force of up to 5 kgf used with select specialty tools for material types that require either special care or more force to be cut.

New Specialty Tools

The Silhouette Cameo® 4 Pro is compatible with three new specialty tools: the Rotary Blade for Cameo 4, the 3mm Kraft Blade for Cameo 4, and the Punch Tool for Cameo 4. Each of these tools are compatible with the Cameo 4 only and can be used only in Carriage 2 of the machine.

  • With the Rotary Blade, you can cut fabric materials like cotton fabric, felt, leather, and more.
  • The Kraft Blade for Cameo 4 can cut materials like acetate, craft foam, and burlap.
  • The Punch Tool punches holes in the spaces you need to weed vinyl or heat transfer, making weeding faster and easier.
Auto Tool Detect is a feature that all the Cameo 4 machines have, and it allows the Silhouette Studio® software to automatically detect what tools are inserted into your machine. This ensures you have the right cut settings every time.

The Silhouette Cameo® 4 Pro uses a simplified touch panel to load and unload your material as well as move the cutting mat or the position of the tools or connect Bluetooth®.

Built-in Roll Feeder and Crosscutter

Having a roll feeder and crosscutter built in to your Silhouette Cameo® 4 Pro makes cutting rolled materials really simple. The roll feeder slides out from a tray located on the bottom of the machine and folds out. It can hold up to 24-inch (61cm) rolls (with a maximum roll diameter of 3 inches).

The back of the machine houses the crosscutter. After you’ve cut your material, all you need to do is unlock the crosscutter and slide the crosscutter blade along the track of the crosscutter cartridge

Pop-out Cut Mode

For the first time ever since Silhouette Cameo® 4, cut materials like paper and cardstock without a cutting mat. With this feature, the Silhouette Cameo® 4 Pro will make a cut but keep the material in place using perforation cuts in strategic places. Once the material is removed from the cutting machine, simply pop the cut design from the paper. 

Silhouette Cameo® 4 is available in three different models

Together we can make PRINTING great again

With the evolution of printing from offset to digital, many have fallen into the dilemma of click and print and got caught in a price war.

This conflict took the life out of printing, as lower prices means cost cutting to absurd levels to try to make that click worthwhile.

It does not have to be that way. There are options available to enhance one’s product. The way one finishes and presents a job can and will add value to the hard work one has already done when investing in the printer. 

Demand can be created! 

All it takes is to start priding oneself again in what one does and produces. Experimenting and detaching oneself from the obsession of click and print is the right solution.

Having the right tools at one’s disposal, one can go far beyond the low price battles. These become a thing of the past when one looks at printing from outside the box. Being DIFFERENT, UNIQUE and having a PROFITABLE enterprise, will be the order of the day.

At MTA Company we’ll guide you to achieve this, we strive to bring the latest, most innovative and most varied line-up of print finishing solutions, being machines or supplies.

Primo Easydò Gluten Free Soft Modelling Dough

Primo Easydò Gluten Free Soft Modelling Dough Launch in Malta

When it comes to playing we all want our children to have fun but most of all we want them to be safe. With this concept in mind at MTA Company we are introducing on the Maltese market the first Gluten free Dough, the Primo Easydò soft modelling dough.
We know that not all children are Gluten intolerant or suffer from Celiac Disease, but why find out the nasty way. Even if our children do not present any symptoms for any of these conditions, one day they might be sharing their toys with their friends or other family members’ kids, so why not be safe all the way.

Primo Gluten Free Easydò dough is perfectly safe, non-toxic, and doesn’t cost a cent more than the normal Easydò dough, which by the way is still less expensive than most other brands found off the shelf of any toyshop or stationer.

Primo Gluten Free Easydò dough come in 4 different play sets, Dog, Cat, Boy and Girl. Each set comes in a sturdy carrying plastic briefcase containing the following:
– 5 differently coloured dough bars x 100g each (500g total)
– 1 table mat
– 6 creative tools
– 1 large cutter

Otherwise there is the Art room box with 24bars x 100g each in assorted colours.

Easydò soft modelling dough is gluten free and made with raw materials of 99% plant origin. Well malleable and mixable, elastic, pleasant to the touch, it does not make your hands dirty. If it slightly dries up, the addition of some water makes it elastic and mouldable again. Its colours remain bright and vivid and they remain so even if it dries completely. If you want to enjoy your product longer, please make sure you prevent contact with air. Easydò soft modelling dough is Dermatologically tested.

Primo products are non-toxic, made in Italy and are totally safe for use by children.
