Roland’s STIKA Series of vinyl cutters offers an affordable, out-of-the-box solution for producing vinyl graphics. Even beginners can cut decals, signs, labels, stencils, and much more. Just like a desktop printer, the STIKA cutter includes a Windows driver that allows users to output directly from vector-based design software. It also comes with Dr. STIKA and Roland CutChoice software. Dr. STIKA imports graphics files directly from BMP and TWAIN-scanned files. CutChoice is an Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw plug-in application that expands graphics capabilities by letting users enlarge, reduce, re-position, rotate and mirror images. Lightweight and compact, the STIKA Design Cutter is available in 8-, 12- and 15-inch widths.
The SV-8 (PLT220) 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 SX-15 accepts 12- or 15-inch wide media and cuts up to 13.3 inches wide. The SV-12 (PLT225) and SX-15 (PLT230)feature a sheet adjust lever, and the SX-15 features a fast, powerful stepper motor.
