Roland SV-8 Stika Features:

Easy to Use
Making professional-looking graphics is a snap with the StiKa SV-8. Simply design your graphics with bundled Roland CutStudio software, peel away the excess vinyl, and apply. It's that easy. You can even contour cut printed graphics using your desktop printer and the StiKa driver.

Three Stikas to Choose From
The StiKa comes in three models. The SV-8 accepts 8.5-inch wide media and cuts up to 6.2 inches wide. The SV-12 accepts 12-inch wide media and cuts up to 9.8 inches wide. The SV-15 accepts 12- or 15-inch media and cuts up to 13.3 inches wide. They all handle vinyl, paint mask, heat transfer material and more.

Print/Cut Solution
In addition to cutting vinyl and other materials, the new StiKa SV-8 makes an easy-to-use and cost-effective print/cut solution. Users print registration marks with their desktop printer, load the printed graphic into the cutter, send the file to the StiKa SV-8 and it contour cuts the graphics. It's perfect for creating colorful T-shirt graphics, stickers and more.

The Print & Cut software feature can make great T-shirt graphics.

CutStudio Software
Every SV-8 StiKa ships with Roland CutStudio (for Windows only). This powerful design software lets you reduce, re-position, rotate, tile and mirror images. It enlarges images as crisp as original size and cuts TrueType fonts without outlining. CutStudio also supports BMP, JPG, STX, AI, and EPS file formats. Each Stika cutter also includes a Windows 98 SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista print driver, a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator 9/10/CS/CS2 & CS3 and a plug-in for CorelDRAW 10/11/12 & X3. Also included is a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator 9/10/CS/CS2/CS3 in the Macintosh OS 9/X environment. Please note that the Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw programs are not included.
