Not Worth the Hype on my review.

According to my experience this product is not suitable for serious Arts and Crafts enthusiasts .Although it is marketed AS easy to carve, I found it to be difficult to handle. The material feels flimsy and low quality, and it takes a lot of effort to create a good print. The one pro I can think of is that it is affordable, but ultimately, it's not worth the hassle..

Pros
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Flimsy, Difficult to handle

Transfer didn't work for me

I tried transferring designs with a "slightly heated iron" using both inkjet and laser images as instructed. Tried several times and didn't even get a hint of a picture to transfer. I also found that the cut block is friable.

Pros
  • VERSATILE APPLICATIONS - This cutter accepts transfers from laser printers, inkjet printers, pictures and newspapers. For use with water-based block inks.
Cons
  • Crumpled
