With some XL or DC dies, it is helpful to cut an extra time in the
middle of the die.
Use Prestige Pro to cut a variety of different materials. See Materials Guide
on pages 14 and 15 for suggestions.
Fewer sheets of material may be required when cutting very intricate shapes.
When cutting thin fabrics, place a scrap of paper over the material.
When cutting with a die that is asymmetrical (uneven distribution of the cutting
rule on dies, such as Uppercase "T" or Sailboat), move the die approximately
1/4" farther into the machine so that the end with the greater amount of rule is
closer to the center of the machine (under the End and Pressure Bearings).
A convenient way to store the dies is on their sides. Place the Die Storage
Rack on its side so the dies sit vertically in the rack, not horizontally. Insert
the dies alphabetically in the rack from left to right, so they are easier to find
and replace. The dies will also slide into the slot with greater ease and are
less likely to catch on the shelf divider. (Not applicable to the Wall Storage
Rack, the Work Station Rack or Carousel.)
It is important to use the Die Pick (included in the Tool Kit) to clean out the
bits of paper and other material that build up in the joints of the dies (where
the cutting or creasing rule meets). If dies are not kept clean, the scraps will
eventually push the rule slightly apart. This cleaning is especially important if
cutting thick materials such as flexible magnetic sheets, pop-up sponge or
self-adhesive felt.
