Hey Tim, not sure if you still need help. I have. Cameo 3, I, like Dave use a cutting mat, I feel you have a bit more control over the amount of material you use and you can arrange your cuts on any part of the mat. For example, if you want to print on a small 1 inch square, you can direct the cut area to that part, thus being able to use scraps of the 810 vinyl that you may have left from other cuts. I]similarly, I used the standard setting for 650 vinyl and it worked well even for some rather small masks,.
