Like a lot of people I am doing some research about these machines. I’ve come across one that comes with inks, and was wondering if somebody can explain to me what the use of the inks are for. Im guessing its to draw out and image, but then is it still cut out too, I’m confused please help……………..please only answer if you know what you are talking about, not if you just think you do! Thanks in advance!

This machine is made to cut out the design. The ink replaces the blade as another option-some scrapbooks want the drawn design on the page. the function is not for the machine to draw it and you to cut it.. It is simply for those who just want the image drawn out. If you want the die cut of the design then you wouldn’t use the ink, you would use the blade and have the machine cut it for you.

The inks take the place of the cutting blade. So instead of cutting out the image it will draw it out and you have to cut around it. Be careful what images you use and how big they are, the ink draws the lines pretty thick. I have used them a little, they are okay.
