Does Silhouette SD Really Work?
For more creative freedom, the Silhouette SD claims to be a perfect project enhancer. The Silhouette SD is a digital cutting tool that will help to create types of silhouettes of pumpkins, butterflies, flowers, and many others, they say. It is powerful, versatile and portable, and it can even cut out letters and words. This is possible, they say, because the component can be connected to your computer so that your fonts and shapes of choice can be printed out in this Silhouette SD machine in a riot of colors depending on the paper you choose to insert into it when the cutouts are being made. Perfect, they say, for projects, whether for school or at home, and it works well with anything from vinyl to sketch pens. Software downloads are available to work in compatibility with the Silhouette SD.
Silhouette SD Reviews
I did a LOT of research to find a machine that did NOT use cartridges. It was a toss up between a Pazzles and a Silhouette SD.
I found a great deal on the Silhouette and ordered it. SUCH a great decision.
The Silhouette (I named mine, Sadie!) machine is compact and very lightweight. It has a nice program that works with the machine, called Silhouette Studio. Every Tuesday there is a free design to download from their online store, and many half price designs you can buy for 50ยข each!
There are accessories for the Silhouette such as sketch pens, types of papers (heat transfer, vinyl, flocked vinyl, magnet paper, tattoo paper)…and the customer support is out of this world.
I am PROUD to be CARTRIDGE FREE!

You can cut any true type font which there are 1000s you can download for free. You can cut GSD files which again you can find 1000s for free. Print and cuts are great! I’ve also cut vinyl for my walls and made rhinestone shirts. Just wish I had more time to play.

There is a learning curve, but allows complete creativity. I especially like printing an image, coloring winch Copics and cutting a shape. So fun!

I love my Silhouette SD, and especially love the ability to do spot on print and cut of just about any file I get get into the associated software. It’s a great cutter. I just wish they’d come out with a larger version.

I love this machine – the automatic registration for PnC is awesome and works very well. I love it. The only negative is that is only cuts 8″ wide, I wish it would cut 12″ wide. Also the Silhouette Studio is functional but it needs a lot of work still.
