PRODUCT REVIEW - ROLAND STIKA
Review of Rolands desk top cutter the Stika.

PRODUCT REVIEW ROLAND STIKA
by Don Johnson

“Ideal for small offices, schools and hobbyists, Roland STIKA vinyl cutters produce colorful POP displays, labels, and iron-ons. Creating custom vinyl graphics has never been faster or more affordable. Bundled CutStudio software lets users tile up to 16 designs and contour cut printed images.”
Above is Roland info on their Stika desk top cutter. After years of putting it off I finally invested in a small cutter to help in the helmets I paint. After some research the Roland Stika seemed to fit my needs nicely so that’s what I bought. You can read my full review of the Roland Stika in issue #23 of Airbrush Technique Magazine. The Stika is available in three different sizes 8-, 12- and 15-inch widths. Right out of the box the Stika is ready to get to work; very easy to use was my first impression. The Stika comes all ready to go, load the CD into your drive, load the driver, plug the cutter into your USB post and you are ready to go. If you are at ease using most photo editing programs like Photoshop you should have no problem with Cut Studio that comes with the Stika. Cut Studio is a print/cut program you’ll use to lay your design out and send it to the cutter to perform the printing or cutting. In Airbrush Technique Magazine issue #23 I walk you thru using Cut Studio to cut some lettering out of paint mask. After using the Stika for several months I have to say I’m very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend the Stika to anyone looking to invest in a small cutter. Below is a picture of one of my first projects accomplished with the help of the Stika. All the lettering in the project was cut in paint mask using the Stika. This type of project would have been near impossible without the Stika so owning it has opened up some new avenues for me.
