The cutter works great so far.
There is no optical eye which both the answer to some question and the title stated that there should be. There is just a laser to align the vinyl but it's really not needed. If you need one with an optical eye for aligning prints, buy another cutter.
I don't see why they include the vinyl, it is compleatley useless (don't even use it to test the cutter, just get a quality vinal and work with that). I would rather see that more extra knifes or something would have been included.
