Manufacturer's Description
A versatile art projector for the beginning artist or crafter, and Artograph's best seller. The Tracer enlarges any design or pattern onto a wall from two to fourteen times the origins size. Projected image can be easily traced and coloured as desired. No set-up necessary and simple to operate. Standard 100-watt bulb included. Needs to be used in a dark room. From the first art projector, assembled in a garage over 6 decades ago, to the state-of-the-art models precision-built today, Artograph has always strived to deliver easy-to-use, reliable products. Our products have changed over the years, but our commitment to workmanship and creativity is as strong as ever. From our art projectors, light boxes and spray booths to our Open Studio furniture line, everything is designed with the artist in mind. We look forward to the next half century as we continue to make the creative process more rewarding and productive for our customers.

Whilst it is advertised as a 'TOY',its main purpose for me is to transfer photographs etc. onto canvas before painting. So it is not used as a toy, but an aid to my painting. It does lack a lot of refinement (uneven finish on the base means I have to level it) and the lens falls out if you are not careful.
All that aside, it is the cheapest way I have found of transferring images onto canvas,whilst maintaining correct perspective etc.
Amazon's price was the best I could find, and with no postage to pay it made it a decent buy.
It does the job I want (just) and as the next alternatives such as overhead projectors etc. are so expensive, it is the only option within my purse at present.

I bought one of these, some years ago, have used it many times and can say it really is a good and, for the money, cheap, easy to use projector. artograph also have the 'prism' projector, which is hugely expensive for what it is, as it works on the same principle as this tracer, in fact for the same price you are into digital all singing, dancing projectors. A reviewer said they have used it for photographs, I never have but would question whether the heat from the bulb would cause the photo to warp?, as the image is not that far from the light source. Basically what you have here is light and mirrors, simple but very effective way to transfer a image to another surface.
Size matters; the image needs to fit within the 5x5inch base, but don't let that fool you as it will enlarge greatly. The further away from the surface the larger the image and visa versa, focus is manual/turning the front focus ring, which has never fallen off during my use. Very easy to use. As another has pointed out, the tracer can get a little warm, and as it is an electric item then if a child is to use it an adult should be in charge, and for that reason I feel it should not be classed as a toy. It is lightweight/portable and I do not consider it flimsy.
If you want to transfer images to walls,canvas, paper... whatever, and do not want to pay the earth then this will do the job very well.

THis projector is a brilliant way to enlarge any image - from your own drawings and photos to a pretty leaf found out on a walk. Good for artists of all ability and kids too. Just what I was looking for. I think it is a fair price too. I was worried it would be heavy but it is very light a movable.
