Review on Artograph LightTracer Light Box 10 by Karla Richter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good size, even light, well made

I bought this to make stencils for various projects including portraits. I use Coyote Stencil Shop 3 to create a preliminary stencil from a photo and then trace the outline of that stencil to get an accurate template for cutting. I then copy the cutting template and paint the areas I'm going to cut with a jigsaw so I can see what the finished product will look like before I start. It's a lot easier to be precise when cutting when I use an outline stencil instead of a filled stencil as I can see more precisely where the blade is cutting when I use outlines. The light is not bright but bright enough to draw clearly even on thick paper. Edge clamps that hold the plastic front in place have enough room for you to slide a few sheets of paper under the clamps to hold the paper securely in place while you work with the device. While the design tilts top to bottom, assuming you're using it in landscape mode, I've found I can use it in portrait mode as well, and the tilt doesn't bother me at all. I am very satisfied with this light box and can only recommend it. while working with the device.
