A quick look suggests that the Explore is a response to the Cameo. They're comparably priced, and the two advantages I see in the Explore are the material preset dial (vs. in-software settings plus physical blade depth in the Cameo) and the dual holder that carries a knife and a pen simultaneously. Mostly it's just more convenient in those regards than the Cameo, not necessarily better. We'll have to wait for someone to actually try one. What I *don't* see mentioned is any sort of page registration system, such as the Cameo has, that lets you load a previously-printed page into the cutter and have it align itself to the print. That won't matter if you're letting the Explore draw and cut in the same process, but it will greatly limit the appearance of the finished product. http://www.cricut.com/home -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/models.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
