Let me say first, I started using Silhouette products in 2017 so I am not new using them. I purchased this machine primarily for the “Print %26 Cut” feature. I am making printable magnets, stickers, birthday banners and cake toppers. All of which are print %26 cut. The Portrait 4 allows you to use so much more space to print than my much older Cameo 4. Silhouette seems to be slow at getting the bugs out of the software. One influencer said, just go forward with the Send button twice and it works! and it does. I would buy this machine again!
