Uhm, maybe not such a good deal then, lol. Look on the bright side, if it doesn't work you'll always have a handy table to put your tea on...ahem. :roll:
Tell 'em you'll review it for the forum if they give you a good discount, that said...if it's no good they may not appreciate it!
if it's no good they may not appreciate it!

Maybe a different model but worth a read.

Most of these cutter are made in the same factory - same inerds, different names, it all depends on how you set them up using the right drivers and what software etc. Redsail, dingtec, foisen etc - all the same.
Take one apart and it'll be very similar to the next - mine, an imported dingtec, still working fine after 6 years, I won't say it'll cut as fine as a roland etc but for what i use it for, signs and vehicle livery, its been fine.
The problem everyone has is setting them up - once passed this point and there's very little that can go wrong. Service and backup is another matter! :lol:
Cheers John
thanx john! All I need is this cutter works with my corel. can it be done?

"it comes with windows driver and you are able to cut direct from coreldraw,illustrator"
you will get 1 x laserpoint seiki sk720t pro vinyl cutting plotter with stand
plugin driver for coreldraw,illustrator,autocad,inkscape
Is that an optical eye I see on one of the photo's ? I'll bet most suppliers charge this much for the stand alone! lol.

Even though mine is supposed to cut from coreldraw I never got away with it. I always design in corel, export, then import into artcut - its long winded but at the end of the day coreldraw is a design programe, not a cutting programe.
is there any free cuting program? I designe most of my designs in crd corel.

Most come with art cut - a simple export as curves and import into artcut does the trick. If you want to use corel you have to put a hairline outline of around 0.01 (I think) then cut. Problem i had was anything that already had an outline confused corel and refused to cut so I used artcut instead. No hardship.

I think the Roland CutStudio is free and works as a plug-in. I used to cut direct from CDraw as John has mentioned above.
hats what I need! some sort of plug in like with craft robo. click the plug in and off you go :)
Buy it and review it for us....go on Paul...go on..... :twisted:
ok. bought it. hope everything will be fine. finger crosed. will let you know when it arrive.

Excellent! great so far. Maybe you can post a few pics of vinyl designs you've cut, maybe even a short video of it in operation? ;) How does it cope with very small designs? What software were you cutting from?
good idea Justin! will do short video but first need to tide up little bit my spare room :) I use FlexiSTARTER but you can print from any software like corel, illustrator, inkscape etc... but this is as a plug in and not very good. no much you can do there. SO I bought the software of this same seller :) working fantastic!
regards to small letters I dont know :) as I doing hoodies and t-shirts. so there is no much of the small elements. but will show you in my next video
watch this space ! lol :D
ps. is the flash enabled on forum yet J? so I can post the video here :)

Doesn't seem to have that same model but has the Laserpoint EH720 for £205 on website and the EH721 for £225, both look like capable machines. I'm thinking about getting one to get me back into T-Shirt vinyl etc. I wonder if anyone has experience of either model?
Just noticed he has the 54" for £350. Great price, but bigger than I need though ;-)

Not sure how this compares with the model you bought Paul? Just about to order one and give it a go, fingers crossed!

£225 delivered really does seem cheap. I'm not expecting much for the money but it should do the job. Only other cutter I had was the Roland which cost me £1500 way back when ;-) I've used expensive large format cutters so this one has a bit to live up to!

@ Paul.. just had a quick look and I have CutStudio on backup HDD.. do you want a copy?.. I can upload it for you to download (it's only 10meg)

make sure it has good drivers so you can cut from your cuting software ;)

Look's exactly the same as my Liyu, great machine for viny's, as others have said may not be as fine as roland's etc but still for the money a great bit of kit!
Only difference is mine is a creamy colour.
I've got a Liyu aswell, which is basically a cloned Roland ;)

Hell of a price, the stands are usually £40/£50 ish. Let us know how you go on. I'm looking at getting a bigger cutter again, I didn't get on with the last one :)

Should be ordering tonight/tomorow so I'll report back with my findings ;-) Have to order a load of vinyl in now...been a long while since I've done that!
That's an incredibly affordable machine (if I've read it right). I'll be reading your experience with a lot of interest, Justin!
I have 5 tees to print tonight so will video the proces of my little chines :)
