I have some tips when you use your digital cutting machine:
- Your machine doesn’t like sharp turns. If you have a design with sharp turns, it’s going to try to maneuver the blade in such a way that can tear your paper. If you have a design with sharp points, use a very low speed on your machine; I use the minimum 1.
- If you are using thick cardstock, don’t use high numbers for the Thickness or Pressure. That is just going to mess up your mat. Use a Thickness of 20 or so but cut the image twice. Also, make sure the Speed is not higher than 2.
- Keep your mat clean.
- You are able to cut very small images with your cutter, but keep in mind that small and very detailed can be more difficult to cut.
That’s all for today! But if you have any question, send me an email or write a comment to any post and I will try to give you my best answer.
