The craft robbo is an excellent machine and if used right - the only limit is your imagination.

It has restricted width of cutting but if you plan your designs around this then you can't go wrong. I have had 2 large cutters since getting my craft robbo on day1 - to be honest I have never used the large ones as everything was cut on my CR.

I sold one (as new) before Xmas and I have another large cutter sat here that I have done a test cut but that's it as I use the CR all the time.

As an example, the t-shirt I mentioned the other day (the post: my nightmare weed: below) was ALL done on my craft robbo :-)

how long do them sticky back carrier sheets last for as on many posts i see people saying they have spares ?
Do they lose the grip on the paper pretty badly ?

one final thing - for testing purposes only - can normal a4 paper be put into the machine so dont mess up on using EXPENSIVE vinyl :)

how long is a piece of string????? :)
when doing vinyl it usually has a backing depending on what your doing so you don't need the carrier sheet
but you will need it for paper

and yes you can put a normal A4 piece of paper thru it no problems
