Time to be creative

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brother Scanner I got is the Grey Titanium color. It is compact in size which is really great for storage. It does not take up a lot of space. The scanner comes with all of the instructions for making the included project step by step. The instructions are really easy to follow. The machine is very responsive to any action requested to take. In order to draw the design on a project the ink is inserted into the scanner. If cutting is needed the ink needs to be swapped out with the cutter. All of these items can be stored neatly within the front of the machine. The design projects are endless. It is limited by a persons creativity and imagination.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Brother ScanNCut SDX125E. The machine came with a cardstock project as an introduction to the cutter. It was easy to complete the project by following the instructions, and it turned out nice. The cutter itself is pretty easy to set up and to use, but I had a very hard time downloading the free workspace software that Brother promotes (I was able to use the web version of the program and to register an account). I could not find a link to download the file on the Brother site, but eventually found a direct link on a blogger's site. Once that was installed on my laptop, I quickly figured out how to create a design on my laptop and have it exported to the cutter. Using additional fonts was easy as well. As a first time user of cutting machine, I wish the user manual was more detailed about how to cut vinyl vs cardstock, half cuts, etc., but I think if you already have this knowledge or look up tutorials online it will be very easy to use. I still wish I had a decent manual (without needing to download it or look to YouTube videos) that walked me through crafting several different projects. The autoblade does, indeed, detect the pressure needed for different materials! I like that I can quickly make and print labels and installed designs right from the scanner/cutter. The led touch screen makes it all so easy. It comes with a little stylus, but the screen responds to my finger just fine, albeit a little pressure is required with either method. The included designs are great, the machine is quiet, and the cuts are clean.

Many capabilities of machine, problems with mat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was amazed by the amount of features this Brother Scan n’ Cut has, and I love that there are preloaded designs on the machine itself unlike other paper cutting machines I have used. There is a large selection of preloaded designs, and they can be resized to fit your needs for your project. It is a bit difficult to get the hang of using the small computer screen but after a few attempts and rereading the instructions I understood how to operate. My major issue with this machine is the provided cutting mat, it comes with the high tacky mat and I would’ve preferred a mat with less stickiness to it. I tried using the provided piece of paper in the box, and had no issues. However, when I used card stock it stuck to the mat so I boiled some water and steamed the mat to remove the paper residue. I learned from that point to always test the paper first in the corner before laying down the entire sheet. I found that shiny scrapbook paper works best with this particular mat since it is highly sticky, I’m hoping after more use it will lose some of its tackiness so I can use other papers. I am also unsure of how long a mat will last, because it seems somewhat thin and not very durable for numerous projects. Also, since the mat is highly sticky it makes it rather tedious to remove intricate pieces from a project once it’s done cutting, I am going to stick to more simple designs until the mat loses some tackiness to avoid ripping projects with intricate details. All in all, I am impressed by all this machine can do and look forward to continue learning more about how to use it and make lots of projects.

Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really neat product. It was confusing following the instructions the first few times I used it though. It's pretty quiet and I've had no issues with snags or mistakes. My daughter's and I have made some really cute projects. It's fun to watch it cut. The many designs it comes with is very helpful and fun to explore. The little tools are cute and definitely helpful. I think this machone will be put to use often. We really enjoy it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I was excited to get this and it was GREAT! It is a quality product. It came with tools to help you "weed" the project off the mat. I read all the instructions that came with it and the tips etc. I went thru the steps they gave you to try a project and it worked great the box turned out well. I then tried some cutouts and drawing even adding 2 of the pictures they give you into one {first pic is the image being drawn and second pic and third pic is a cutout} I got some adhesive vinyl and I made some gaming stickers for my son {fourth pic} The 5th and 6th pictures were gaming characters my son is going to use markers and color in and then cut them out later. It was so much fun. It worked very well and I had no problems with it at all. It comes with a bonus of 3 collections of projects. They are perfect to make. The software is canvas workspace and it is very easy to use. It has over 680 projects for free. We even used our own artwork and that worked well too just had to add the image to software. I cant wait to do more projects this is a wonderful product. I highly recommend this product. I just started and there are so many more things you can do.

So awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I really like this machine. It’s very easy to use, even for someone who has no experience at all. The screen is large enough to see well and the application I use on my laptop works well too. It’s easy to transfer from my laptop to the machine wirelessly. I have only worked with card stock so far, but I’ve done several projects. I’m playing around with it to get comfortable before buying more materials. I can see this being really useful for holidays, education, and just fun crafts. I can’t wait to make more projects!!
