Are you curious about Silhouette's latest addition to their cutting tools lineup – the Silhouette Heat Pen? This powered tool is designed for the direct application of heat transfer foils with your Silhouette machine. In this blog post, we'll explore how it works and why it could be a game-changer for your creative projects.
Powered Tool Holder for Cameo 5, Portrait 4, or Curio 2
If you own a Cameo 5, Portrait 4, or Curio 2, you might have noticed the new powered tool holder. This feature is specifically designed for using Silhouette's power tools, bringing more material and customization options to these cutting machines.
Heat Pen Features
The Heat Pen is one of these innovative tools, available in two tip sizes – 1mm and 2.5mm. Its special tip draws power from the machine, reaching high temperatures. Once heated, the Heat Pen allows you to etch heat transfer foil onto various surfaces, such as cardstock and faux leather.
Compact and Precise Alternative
Compared to traditional methods like using a heat press or iron, the Heat Pen offers a more compact and precise alternative. This makes it ideal for surfaces that may be more heat-sensitive and cannot withstand a full press.
Versatility with Silhouette Studio
Through Silhouette Studio, the Heat Pen becomes a versatile tool for applying detailed shapes and text. You can customize your projects with a set of embossing textures, adding a unique touch to your creations.
Perfect for Curio 2 Users
For Curio 2 users, the Heat Pen is especially convenient. With automatic height detection and a stationary working area, the Heat Pen becomes more versatile and hassle-free when working with thicker surfaces, such as faux leather wallets or ring boxes.
