Hi everyone, so todays video is a kind of getting to know the Loklik software, so I am recreating the shaped card I made a few weeks ago for the SNC, but this time using the Loklik software and we can see how the two softwares compare.
I would add that the Loklik cutter and its software are very new and like the SNC and Canvas Workspace when they first launched there is room for improvement.
So if you have a Loklik cutter I hope this helps. Links to the fonts I use will be listed below.
Here is the SNC Canvas Workspace project

First of all I would like to thank @LOKLiK for reaching out to me and gifting me this machine and bundle for me to try out and share with you all.
This new electronic cutting machine bundle is normally £244.99 and I think that is good value, but the Black Friday/Cyber Monday price is an amazing £129.99 (click on the price to go straight to very.co.uk this is not an affiliate link).
On first impressions this is a very sturdy, well made machine it works with its own Ideastudio software which works with MacOS, IOS mobile or tablet and Windows. I understand an Android mobile app will be available soon.
You can connect to the cutting machine via Bluetooth or USB cable very easily.
The video below is my unboxing, setting up, registering for the software and my first test cut, I will be doing more with this machine and if there is anything specifically you would like to see please let me know by leaving a comment under the Youtube video.

Ive been looking on the Loklik website and the consumables are very very reasonably priced, to give you an idea the
2 pack of blades are showing as €3.95 roughly £3.44 either red or blue tipped
3 pack of 12 x 12 mats all options €7.95 roughly £6.93
12 dual tipped coloured pen set €6.95 roughly £6.06
I dont know how much shipping would be. They also sell an auto heat press that looks great, as well as hand held heat presses in a couple of sizes, a tumbler press, lots and lots of vinyl, card stock and sublimation paper.
Accessories are also available here in the UK from Vary
I have personally used HTVront (same company) heat transfer vinyl on several of my own personal clothing items and can confirm that after many machine washes the vinyl still looks like brand new.
I hope you find the video and information helpful, Ashley.
