Hey Greg! Came upon your blog purely by accident and the first entry, ROBO Master, caught my attention. I don't suppose you know anything about its availability in the U.S. or do you? posted by ScottJune 6, 2004 at 13:20 [ e ]

Craft Robo USA Well, the same company has offices in America but they don't appear to sell any consumer oriented products.  You might want to ask them. posted by greggmanJune 7, 2004 at 8:57 [ e ]

How much?   (btw, did you get my reply to your email ever?) posted by lu2June 7, 2004 at 19:12 [ e ]

wow neat! We didn't see it when we swung by yodobashi a week ago. Was too preoccupied with the camera gear. Which floor was it? posted by mouseJune 10, 2004 at 18:14 [ e ]

3rd floor? I think it was on the 3rd floor.  It was near the PDAs and Labelers.  Yodobashi lists their price as ￥38640。 List price is ￥52290 posted by greggmanJune 10, 2004 at 22:23 [ e ]

craft robo The craft robo is not yet available in the US. The company, however, is planning on releasing it in the US in the near future. When last I checked, these plans were still at a fairly preliminary stage, but that was a few months ago. I'll post again when I hear more. Debra :) posted by DebraJuly 1, 2004 at 22:00 [ e ]

Craft ROBO availability Hi guys, I am new on this board. However, I work for Craft ROBO manufacturer. Original Craft ROBO will be available on the US market in early 2005. However, similar product can be currently purchase under Wishblade brand at www.wishblade.com. posted by CraftROBOdaddyOctober 25, 2004 at 12:22 [ e ]

the wishblade I have the wish blade. However, I am really disapointed because you cannot use any of the GSD file templates for the robo in it (even tho it looks like the same macine,) and you cannot use adobe illustrator with it.  I wanted to make my own fonts to cut, and unless I do the word, then trace each in the wishblade advanced, that is the only way to do it.  Wishblade comes with some fonts, but I want to do my own.  I tried installing the robo driver, to see if that would make it work, and while the driver does do what it is supposed to, I still can't use illustrator because the controller for wishblade and robo must have something different.  The pictures of the controller screen for both are identical. posted by shellieincoMarch 26, 2005 at 12:42 [ e ]

Illustrator will work Actually you can use Illustrator with the Wishblade - I do it all the time.  You need to make sure your final vector path is stroked in black, then choose the wishblade in the print window and depending on the version of Illustrator you are using, either use Printer setup or properties to modify the color in the cutline settings to black.  The default is grey and that's probably why you can't get your wishblade to cut. posted by IlanaJune 25, 2005 at 5:12 [ e ]

It has been a while since the post about craft robo being available in the us... has it been released yet it is late in 2005... It was scheduled to be released in eraly 2005??? Has the wishblade been adapted to use the craft robo software? posted by newatthisSeptember 27, 2005 at 12:55 [ e ]

Hi, I just found out that craft robo existed. If I had someone order it in Europe and send it to me, will I be able to use it with Corel draw 12? posted by dineOctober 3, 2005 at 21:42 [ e ]

US Craft Robo I, also, would like a Craft Robo as compared to a Wishblade.. I understood it was to be released in January of 2006 per the manufacturers... have written to the company (Graphtec Corp.) and no news yet as I just emailed them today, but hoping it comes out soon as Wishblade is already out and has a large popularity.  Craft Robo, per the user groups I  have joined at Yahoo for the Wishblade, has more versatility in as far as use of the software and its ability to cut true type fonts... Because of this I'm waiting for the Craft Robo... reports are when out it will cost about $400...  To get more info., seach the web for Craft Robo, the site for Graphtec will come up with a link for sales... if you want info and the muchine, write and bug them!  Thanks... grins, Trina M. posted by TrinaFebruary 20, 2006 at 2:10 [ e ]

Trina, my hubby and I had been talking about purchasing the Wishblade and then we came across the info about the Craft Robo, so we started doing searches for it.  So far, we've found a couple of places you can order it from....scrapbookdiecutter.com (they also have these on Ebay, but it's the same price as on their website: $399) and thescrappinpath.com (where it's listed for $379.99 right now with free shipping).  Hope this helps.  -Debby- posted by DebbyMarch 4, 2006 at 13:30 [ e ]
