The Punch Tool is used to create weeding points in vinyl and heat transfer vinyl (HTV) before the cut job begins. These points help make it easier to weed the material after cutting. Follow these steps for proper use:
- Insert the Punch Tool into the tool carriage of your Cameo 4, Cameo 5, or Cameo Pro MK‑II machine.
- In Silhouette Studio, prepare your design and select the Punch Tool as your tool type.
- The software will prompt you to choose whether you're weeding the negative space (e.g., for a decal) or the positive space (e.g., for a stencil).
- Load your vinyl or HTV into the machine.
- Send the job to your Silhouette. The machine will first punch weeding points, then proceed to cut your design.
- Once cutting is complete, remove the material and begin weeding using the pre-punched points as guides.
