Nicapa StrongGrip Cutting Mat for Silhouette Cameo 3/2/1(12x24 inch,3 Mats) Strong Adhesive Sticky Quilting Cut Mats Replacement Accessories for Silhouette Cameo

I am very happy with these mates. They are long lasting, sticky, and almost exactly the same as the original Silhouette mats. What's different? These don't break the bank! People on Silhouette FaceBook groups always say that they will void your warranty and mess up your machine because they are not the same size. Those people don't seem to notice that Nicapa makes ones specifically sized for the Cameo, and others for the Cricut. If you are careful to get the right ones for your machine, they are exactly the same size as the originals, and work just as well for just as long. I will not go back to the overpriced Silhouette mats!

Used this for a Cameo 4 after using the standard OEM matt I bought when purchasing the plotter. I will never switch back to the "branded" one. Adhesion works perfect, and so far, durability is top notch still working as new after 60+ projects. I don't weed on the matt so that could be a big durability plus for me, but I didn't either on the last one so I'm comparing apples with apples here. 5/5 and just waiting for the price to drop to $7 on the standard 12x12 3-pack to buy them again (just because since I'm still working with the fist matt out of the 3 I already bought)

Es un producto de muy buena calidad, es más resistente que el original. Este es un producto genérico de mayor uso y fácil de usar, por tener mejor resistencia.

Update: There have been changes made to the adhesive. They used to be comparable to the "standard" grip cutting mats from Silhouette, but the new adhesive is similar to the "light hold" Silhouette mats. I'm still going to buy these for the time being as I think the value is still better then the brand-name version.-----When I originally got these I was highly disappointed (left a 2-star review) because I couldn't get them to work well with print and cut that, and that's how I use my Silhouette Portrait for 99% of the time.However...I decided to give these another try around a year back and managed to get them to work beautifully and have since repurchased them 4+ times to use for my sticker business!I have a portrait 1 and 2, and I've noticed that not only does each type of cutting mats have its own quirks, but so does each model of machine (and possible each machine in general, not specific to model).With the silhouette brand mats, I find I need to line the paper up just on or inside the border-line to get it to cut correctly.With the Nicapa mats, I have to overlap the bounding line or I will get a registration error or it won't cut at all. To make it simple, I usually line the edge of my paper up with the bottom of the numbers on the top of the sheet and put the left side of the paper over the line by approx the same amount. Sometimes I'll hold the mat up to a lamp once I have the paper on it to make sure it's positioned correctly before I load it into my Portrait. I primarily use these mats with my Portrait 2, but I've been able to successfully use them with my Portrait 1 with the same positioning.I prefer these over the Silhouette brand mats now, not only due to price (you get 3 mats for the price of one Silhouette brand mat) but also because they are a little thicker and I like the heft. The slight thickness also helps paper stick to it a little longer when the adhesive starts to wear out because it doesn't put as much stress on the failing adhesive due to bending during the cutting process.Here are a couple of tips if you are having issues with these mats (or cutting mats in general):1. If you are having registration issues try playing around with the lighting near the machine or play around with opening or closing the lid. I find 2 desk lamps and a ceiling light with the lid of my machine open usually works well, but if I have any registration issues I'll close the machine lid and that usually does it trick.2. If your cuts aren't accurate (or you are still having registration issues), try playing around with how you position your paper on the cutting mats. I've actually found my machines to be a lot less finicky with positioning with these mats compared to Silhouette-brand, but these machines are known to be finicky, so it takes some trial and error.3. The adhesive on the mats is too strong right out of the packaging and tears the paper when I try to take it off (this is true for most mats, so I didn't take a star off for it). My solution is to press a kitchen towel onto the mat a remove it several times before use to weaken the adhesive a little bit.4. If you are having issues with your paper coming off the mats super curled, try turning the mat over and peeling the mat off the paper vs. peeling the paper off the mat. Super easy!5. When the adhesive does start to go you can get more use out of your cutting mat by going out it with a link roller to remove debris and sometimes it also lays down a bit of additional adhesive from the roller. Once I've exhausted what the lint roller can do to help I'll tape the top and bottom of the paper down with washi tape to get a little more life out of the mat.Original review:I bought these as an inexpensive alternative to the normal silhouette cutting mats, which can be a little pricy. Right around the same time, I started using them I began having registration issues with print and cut, which I never had before. After comparing the mat to a genuine Silhouette mat, I found the space between the top of the mat and the gridline for an 8.5x11 sheet of paper is ever so slightly bigger on these. I figured it would be a simple fix, just move the paper up a tad, but now I can't get anything to cut where I was supposed to. Since these mats have a decent number of good reviews I'm going to experiment a little, but I'll probably end up returning them.

I've bought this brand several times and I will continue to do so. They are excellent option. For my needs and uses they work well. I prefer the standard mat. I highly recommend.

In my opinion, these mats are superior to the name-brand mats that come with the various cutting machines. Personally, I own 3 silhouette cameo 4 and these mats last me much longer than the original. They stay sticky for a much longer time and I use them daily.

They are sticky but have a texture to the sticky mea if that makes sense. Also slightly thicker then a silhouette mat

My mat was old ordered this pack and and it saved the day.

Me gustaron mucho , tal como viene en publicada. Bastante resostentes

Ningún tapete tiene pegamento para toda la vida, ni los originales, ni otras marcas. PERO sí considero que estos tapetes tienen buen pegamento :D una duración buena aún para papeles que suelten demasiado polvo/pedazos.Yo los uso con mi Silhouette Cameo 4.Me gustaron muchísimo porque son casi del mismo grosor que los originales, por lo que no había necesidad de re ajustar mis parámetros. Es raro que tenga desfase en los cortes por eso mismo.La máquina tampoco se fuerza por su grosor así.De un aproximado de 4 marcas que he probado, estos han sido sin duda, LOS MEJORES. Tanto el precio como la calidad son excelentes :D

Recieved the products on time. Satisfied.

These are just like the light tack mats from Silhouette, but cheaper. Works great for cutting stickers, vinyl, etc

Although these are advertised as being the same as Cricut brand mats they are slightly narrower
