Useful Information

Replace cutting blades regularly

The use of a very sharp blade is extremely important as is the use of original equipment from the cutter manufacturer’s agent. These will give you the best results. Historically pirate parts generally can be “poor value” and inferior quality.

Cutting Blade Holder
Whilst many customers change blades regularly, the actual replacement of the blade holder is overlooked. This is also a “wear part” and plays a significant role in the cutting efficiency of your cutter. Therefore, if you are experiencing poor cut quality, with a new blade, replace the holder and possibly have your local technician in to have a look at the cutting machine if the replacement parts have not solved your problem.

Should problems persist

Perhaps you should then use OS STICKY BACK which is ideal for small text and intricate designs.
