Cutting force and media width decide everything the software cannot · review
A 15-inch craft cutter with AutoBlade, a stated 400 mm/s, 4-point registration and an electrostatic mat, with Studio software in the box.
A 15-inch width lets you run wider vinyl than the 12-inch Cricut, and AutoBlade removes a manual step.
Studio is more flexible than Design Space and runs without the cloud. The higher editions cost extra.
The model field says Cameo 4 while the title says Cameo 5 Alpha Plus. Check the box you receive.
