The Silhouette SD ot only do you have the freedom of designing your shape then sending it to the cutter for cutting, but now you can use your Silhouette without a computer.

Save your images onto a SD Memory card. Then insert the card into the card slot on yourSilhouette. Using the LCD display, select the shape you want to cut. Now you can save your favourite shapes onto your memory card and bring your Craft ROBO Lite to your next crop. Please note, you need to purchase an SD card and card reader to use this feature of the Silhouette.

The latest software also has a couple of new features that every scrapbooker/cardmaker will appreciate. You now have the ability to weld and offset your titles. Just type the individual letters of your word, move them so they are overlapping and select weld. With one click of the button your letters are now joined. Then click another button and you can select the offset (shadow matte) properties.

Don't forget the autotracing feature of Silhouette Studio, which allows you to load clip art and then the program will automatically trace a cutting outline around the edges of the image.This line is what the Silhouette will follow when it cuts out your very own unique die cut. Imagine all those great designs you have in books and magazines. You can scan them into your computer and then load them into Silhouette Studio to trace. Did I mention the Internet? There are literally millions of images and clip art freely available to use with your Silhouette.

What else can you use?
The Silhouette also allows you to use your installed true type fonts and make them any size up to A4 . You can use a variety of cutting materials up to A4 in size. You may think of it as a small printer, but instead of printing your image or title it has a small blade that cuts your image, and just like your printer it connects to your computer through the USB port.

Print and Cut? The Silhouette is also equipped with an optical sensor to allow precise cutting of printed designs. Open your favorite clip art in the Silhouette software, arrange it how you like, then print it out on your home printer. The software will print small registration marks on the page which will allow the Silhouette to align the cutting blade perfectly with your printed artwork. With the Silhouette, the possibilities are endless.

Anything Else I need to know?
The Silhouette also allows you to cut lengths of vinyl up to one metre.

The Carrier sheets that come with the Silhouette are 12 inches in length and have a grid printed on them, making it easier to line up your shapes onscreen, in relation to where they will cut on the carrier sheet. Also being 12 inches in length, allows you to cut a full 12 inch border or title to place onto your scrapbooking page.

Do I have to buy extra cartridges to use my Silhouette?
A HUGE advantage is the fact that you NEVER need to purchase another die or cartridge again. because you can use your installed computer fonts or create your own shape. If you can't draw, there are thousands of free shapes on the internet created by fellow scrapbookers to share.

OK, I love the fact that I can trace clip art or scanned images, but what if I don't want to learn to do that just yet, what options do I have.

When you connect your Silhouette to a PC you gain access to thousands of cuttable designs available through the Silhouette Online Store for just 99¢ each.
Also at the Skat Katz online store, we have a number of CD's with Silhouette/Craft ROBO files all ready to cut. Our Skat Kutz Vol 1 comes with 100's of general shapes and titles specially designed for the Silhouette.

Three Digital Design Packs (Christmas, Celebrations, Love). The designs are supplied on a standard SD card that plugs straight into the Craft ROBO plus a CD which allows you to use these with your computer.
PLUS The Sliceforms CD and Body and Soul CD. Descriptions of these CD's are on the Skat Katz web site.

The Craft ROBO Pro is the 15" big brother to the Craft ROBO/Silhouette SD. It has a 15" cutting width. It also has the optical sensor that allows you to perform automatic print and cuts. The extra cutting width and speed, make it a viable business tool for cutting commercial quantity printed stickers and labels.

Craft ROBO Pro includes Graphtec's exclusive Automatic Registration Mark Sensor, which enables the cutter to detect registration marks printed on many kinds of media, then automatically contour cut (die cut) around the printed image. This ensures fast and accurate professional cutting plotter of vinyl, film, card stock, foil, heat and image transfer media.


Combine the Craft ROBO PRO with your desktop printer (up to A3) for large-format or multiple custom apparel graphics, stickers, decals, contour die-cuts, 3D models & packaging designs

Includes standalone software (ROBO Master Pro design software) plus Cutting Master 2 Plug-in for use with Adobe Illustrator® and CorelDraw®.

The Craft ROBO Pro is the professional desktop model of Graphtec's CE5000 series of cutting plotters. The Craft ROBO Pro has a maximum speed up to 16 inches per second, and cutting force up to 300g.

Why would I buy a Craft ROBO PRO rather than a Klic N Kut.
If you wish to use the cutter for printed labels and stickers in commercial quantities, then the Craft ROBO Pro will cut the sheets faster than the KNK. Although the KNK will also do print and cut, it does not have an optical sensor. However the Klic N Kut will cut thicker cardstock with a cutting force of 950g and has superior design software.
