Studio by White mod. 280 knitting machine is a standard-gauge knitting machine with 200 needles (4.5 mm apart). The machine has punchcard reading capabilities to knit patterned fabric. 

By now, we all know that Silver Reed, Silver, Singer, and Studio knitting machines are very likely made by the same manufacturer, Silver/Silver Reed. However, these models still differed sometimes (for example, by the location of the row counter attachment place, color scheme, etc…). In the case of Silver Reed SK280 model and our Studio by White mod. 280 machine, they are virtually identical. If we do not see the model numbers upclose, these machines would pass as twins.

Thus, to learn more about Studio by White mod. 280 knitting machine, read about its Japanese-market-only counterpart, Silver Reed SK280, on which I already wrote an extensive blog post.
