Mat, Cutting Blade and Material Combinations
The recommended material thickness is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm for paper and 0.2 mm to 3 mm for fabric.
Depending on the machine model, some accessories listed in the chart may not be included.
In that case, they must be purchased separately.
Mat
|
Standard Tack |
Our standard tack adhesive mat has a high adhesive strength for use with cutting. * Use the low tack adhesive mat with copy paper and smooth paper. Since the standard tack adhesive mat has a high adhesive strength, materials may remain stuck to the mat, causing the mat to become unusable. |
|
Low Tack Adhesive Mat |
Low adhesive mat; suitable for copy paper and smooth paper. |
Blade
An auto blade holder is included with this machine. With this blade holder, the thickness of the material is detected, and the blade extension is automatically adjusted.
Thick or hard material will automatically be cut multiple times.
Refer to the table in the Table of Mat, Blade and Material Combinations section to select the appropriate blade according to the material that will be cut.

- Avoid using craft paper or fabric covered with decorative layer (that can easily separate), such as lamé or foil. The separate layer may stick to the machine’s scanning device or feed rollers during operation, resulting in damage to the machine. It may also damage the cutting blade. When using such material, be sure to clean the scanner glass inside the machine after every use. For details, see Cleaning the scanner glass.
- Tape material that can easily peel off, such as foam sheets, to secure it in place.
- Be careful since tape with an extremely high adhesive strength may damage the mat.
-
Do not affix masking tape, etc., over the scanning marks. Otherwise, the mat may not be correctly recognized or images may not be correctly scanned.
