As a graphic designer I've let slide plots make professional companies always. This device for the first time provides me an opportunity small contour cutting work itself and to prepare without much effort. The Funktionesweise / adjustment of the instrument is simple and free software from the Internet offers everything you need and is also easy to use. I only use the Adobe Illustrator to create vector graphics that are easily sent over the export format .DXF to the plotter. The cutting quality of films is hervorrragend (small writings with a few millimeters cutting distance is not a problem, see photo) - in paper, it goes up to about 200g easily. Thicker paper than 200g is not cut cleanly. Especially fascinating for me is the easy handling when contour cutting of illustrations and pictures. About the Silhouette Studio software, the graphic can be printed on any printer first (Mass brands are also printed the same terms) - in a second pass, the printed image can be contour-cut after - really simple as it gets! Genuine buy recommendation - did not regret it, despite the low price.
