Some of the UKS reports were made by ladies who demo for Graphtec, and some are Sponsors of the forum,  especially Tina Fitch, who said herself on here that she was working with their Pro Machine, so I have to say that they wouldn't be recommending something that Graphtec haven't made would they? Am not disagreeing with anyone as to whether it's any good, I was hoping that someone could give an independent view. I bought my Robolite from a forum member and it's WAY past it's warranty, so just wondered if anyone had tried them. We found a couple of blogs where ladies have used them, and are obviously much more experienced than I am. I can cut 200-220 with mine, but I make a couple of passes especially with intricate designs. I don't want or need to cut basic card shapes as such, but the patterns I've bought for completed cards all have to have backing or they won't stand up. xx
