Cricut Plotters

[dgdave]

Anyone use one or have any expirience with one?

My bday is coming up and I may try to get one of these.

Never heard of it. But I don't have a lot of experience with anything other than the Procut Cr630 that I own.
Good luck finding info, I had TONS of trouble getting ANY reviews on the one I got and just ordered it on a whim figuring I'm savvy enough to figure it all out on my own.

They are on info-mercials and walmart. They have one for about $250 and will be wide enough. They cut vinyl.

The plus side to it is that my wife wants one to for scrapbooking.

I've looked into them.
THEY CAN'T IMPORT IMAGES!!
They run on a cartridge system. You're limited to what cartridges they have available.

[dgdave]

Well that blows. Thanks, johnny!

Ditto. I'm working on a hack to allow custom images... fool the machine into thinking your data is coming from a cartridge.

yeah i was all hyped to get one a couple months back and then i figured out that you have to use their garbage images

i thought about that with my wife's Cricut....but i will leave it be...as her scrapbooking tool

You can pick one of these up for a lil more than the price of the cricut. I know you can import images and all that stuff. Would be a great start if you got the extra cash.

Awesome, been looking for a good plotter. Thanks for the site.

Keep in mind that these are on the low end as far as plotters go. But with a little tinkering and some wasted vinyl you can get them dialed in and produce some really sweet stuff! Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

i'm not sure if anybody's already posted this but cricuts work great. just need to buy an additional piece of software like sure-cuts-a-lot or make the cut- both allow you to connect your cricut to a pc and import any svg you'd like. here's one I've done with it.

These cricuts can handle vinyl?

[marmoset]

yes

This is probably the best plotter to use for the money, hands down --> Awesome cheap plotter!

plotters are cool too, yo
