Digital camera pictures can be printed, cut out and incorporated into all the uses mentioned above; pop-up books featuring a child’s first birthday party, a family vacation, etc. The possibilities are endless.
The Craft ROBO can cut standard CAD-cut thermal film so it can be used with a heat press to create custom t-shirt graphics. Users can take their own digital camera photo’s or printed graphics to make personalized t-shirts for band members, church groups, and other clubs, or to create custom boutique fashions.
The Craft ROBO is designed to work with a carrier sheet with a low tack adhesive to cut, crease, and/or perforate paper and card stock, so it can be used to make custom greeting cards, popup books, and educational materials for home schooling, daycare centers, or personal and family use. Each Craft ROBO comes with an 8.5” x 14” carrier sheet.
- The Craft ROBO uses standard A4 (8.5”X11”) size media so it’s perfect for use with all kinds of readily available paper and card stock.
- The Craft ROBO accommodates different thicknesses of media with its various blade caps. The blade and blade holder are preset to a specific pressure and cannot be adjusted as a standard vinyl cutter. Instead, there are three different sized blade caps that adjust the depth of the cut (0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm). Blade cap scan be switched quickly and easily so users can go from vinyl to card stock in a snap.
- The Craft ROBO comes with its own software suite including easy to use ROBO Master software, Craft ROBO controller and driver, and Cutting Master (Graphtec’s Adobe IllustratorTM plug-in). With Cutting Master, an IllustratorTM user can incorporate vector clip art and all kinds of design elements into their Craft ROBO graphics.

What is DigiMAG? DigiMAG is an inkjet printable magnetic sheet for desktop and wide-format inkjet printers. Now you can create your own personalized magnets in any color or combination of colors. DigiMAG works well for a wide variety of applications such as POP displays, message boards, teaching aids, and temporary signage. It's flexible, easy to use and easy to store. Additional sheets available for a small charge.
What is a carrier sheet? A carrier sheet is for cutting anything that doesn't have a release liner. Vinyl cutters are typically designed to cut only media (vinyl) with a release liner. The cutter blade cuts through the top layer of the vinyl and adhesive but does not cut all the way through penetrating the liner. If the blade were to cut through the liner, eventually there would be damage to the teflon strip. The strip would become scarred and uneven and there would no longer be a flat surface under the vinyl. This would make the depth of the cuts inconsistent.
Yet obviously, to cut paper and card stock, the blade must cut all the way through the material. To accomplish this without damaging the teflon strip, the Craft ROBO comes with a patented Graphtec carrier sheet. The user places paper or card stock on the carrier sheet (which is coated with a low tack adhesive) to hold it in place. This enables the user to cut without damaging or scarring the cutter protection strip. Each Craft ROBO comes with one legal size carrier sheet. Additional sheets are available for a small charge.
