Hey guys,

Im looking into buying a cutter, mainly for vinyl and heat transfers.

I would love to buy a GX24 but dont have the funds to do so.

I have found the Stika SV-15 which does contour cutting of printed images. Has any one used this cutter before and how is it? Does it cut transfer paper well? and also i think i read somewhere that u have to line the cutter up manually with the crop marks, is this true and is it hard?

I have found this cutter retails here in Australia for AU $1,150 from sign essentials in Brisbane which is close to home for me, has any 1 in Aus found a cheaper price?

Thanks

I have one and it works great. I hven't had a chance to use the print/cut feature yet. Yes you do have to manually line it up. You also need to have "Carrier" sheet to cut transfers. They are cheap to buy.

can you explain what a Carrier sheet is and how you use it?

I haven't used one myself (I've been meaning to get one), but I think it sticks to the transfer paper and acts as a protectant for the cutter (so the blade doesn't cut all the way through) and holds the paper together. Regular vinyl has a clear backing that helps hold it together. The cutter only cuts the vinyl on the top layer.
