Cameo 5 Electrostatic mat

The Electrostatic Mat attachment for the Silhouette Cameo 5 makes loading and unloading materials cleaner and easier than ever before. The Electrostatic Mat has an electrically conductive network that builds up static electricity to hold materials in place during cutting. Because the material can be held without an adhesive mat, it is now possible to cut materials without damaging them upon removal – perfect for thin items which can be damaged by using a standard mat. Additionally, when unloading your cut project, there is no tearing or curling, and clean-up is a breeze.

Loading width size: 30 x 30cm.
Compatible with: Cameo 5, Cameo 5 Plus.

Basic Steps to Use the ES Mat

1. Remove the front cover of the Cameo 5 to expose the electronic terminal.
2. Connect the ES Mat securely to the machine so that the terminal of the machine and the terminal of the ES Mat are aligned.
3. Place the electrostatic protection sheet over the ES Mat and place your media on the protection sheet, aligning it with the mark on the top left corner and the left edge of the ES Mat.
4. Press the ES Mat power button, give it a few moments to charge, and smooth your protective mat and media down so no bubbles are present. The media is secured by electrostatic suction.
5. Ensure the pinch rollers are in position so they sit above the transparent film on both sides of the mat.
6. Slide the base of the mat into the machine so the transparent film is against the left and right rollers, and press the Cameo load button.
7. In the software, make sure to choose “Electrostatic Mat, 12 inch” as your Cutting Mat selection in Page Setup.
