Anna Griffin® Empress Elite Machine with Plate Systems

I had the older Empress. It was starting to show it's age so I purchased the new Elite. It is quieter, a little faster and the cuts are amazingly crisp and clean. The turntable is tight enough to keep the machine from swinging around unexpectedly. I didn't think I'd use the turntable but I found it helpful while doing my cuts for Create 10. I was surprised that it didn't initially come with dies and I'd have to wait for the Auto Ship. However, I am happy it came with the large plate system

Thrilled with the Empress purchased myself an early birthday gift and it is everything I wished for. Beautiful clean cut, quiet, easy to use and the turntable is such a bonus!!!! Highly recommend this machine it exceeded my expectations thank you Anna Griffith So glad I did the auto ship ~my favorite gift will keep on giving

This machine is so EASY to use. Cuts and embosses so easily and uses the same plate set up for almost everything. I've been creating cards for 5 years now and have used all sorts of die cutting machines. My cards are very layered and with lots of texture. It would take 3 - 4 tries with the other electric machines I have but this machines did everything in ONE pass and did it beautifully. Even using 110# paper. Not to mention it's super quiet. This is a dream machine.

I love the Empress Elite. It still has the same great pressure as the original Empress, but it now has a great turntable to grab the plates. The old Empress plates are compatible with the new machine. I've tried many different electronic die cutting machines, and the Empress is by far the best. Great new addition to my craft room.
