1. Fill in Font with Sketch Pens

One of the easiest ways to fill in font on Silhouette Cameo is to use sketch pens. To do this, load the pen tool and slightly lift it up in the housing unit. This will prevent the pen from touching the paper and allow you to fill in the font without any mistakes.

2. Use the Right Cutting Mat

Using the right cutting mat is crucial for getting the best results when filling in font on Silhouette Cameo. We recommend using the Silhouette cutting mat that comes with your machine to ensure that the pen stays in place while you fill in the font.

3. Check the Placement of Pens

It’s important to check the placement of the pens before filling in the font. The Cameo 4 comes with a special pen adapter. This is where you place the sketch pens.

Put the sketch pen in the sketch pen adapter, but don’t push it all the way down. This will help you see exactly where the pen will hit the paper and avoid any dragging or mistakes in your design.
